Your Comparison of Mad Dogs, M. Harding, becometh well the rest ⟨p. 459⟩of your Courteous eloquence.1 Who so shall mark, how vainly you snap at, what so ever ye can imagine, is in your way: now at our Logic: now at our Rhetoric: now at our Greek: now at our Latin: now at our Lameness: now at our lean Cheeks: now at our thin Beards: now at our Superintendenteshippes: now at our Ministershippes: now at our Masterships: now at our Mashippes, (for this is the sobriety, and gravity of your speech): and further how greedily, and eagerly ye fasten your teeth, and feed your self with Wind, and are still snapping, and catch nothing: although in regard of manhood he spare to call you a Mad Dog, as it liketh you to call others, yet he may well think you scarcely to be a sober man.
