To like purpose writeth Jacobus Andreae: who, after he had reported all the foresaid words, 1in the end concludeth thus: Hactenus Hosius: Quae verba sive Hosius suo, sive aliorum nomine recitet, certè hanc else Asoti, & Hosij de Sacra Scriptura sententiam, non est obscurum: Thus far Hosius: which words, how so ever Hosius report them, either in his own name, or in the name of some other, without all doubt, this is the Judgement, that both Asotus, and Hosius have of the Holy Scripture.

So likewise saith that most Grave and Learned Father Johannes Brentius: Intereà vociferantur, 1Sacram Scripturam else Dubiam, Ambiguā, Praeceptorem Mutum, Literā Occidentem, Literam Mortuam: adeoque, fi Reverendis illis Patribus libuerit, Aesopi Fabulas: In the mean while they cry out, y• the Holy Scriptures are Blind, and Doubtful: a Dumb Schoolmaster: a killing Write: a dead Letter: yea, and, if it shall like these Reverend Fathers, no better, then Aesop's Fables. Perhaps ye will say of these Learned Men, as ye say of some others, They used only their patched Notebooks, and scattered Authorities, by snaps, and pieces, here, and there a line, or two: and understood not, what they wrote. Notwithstanding, what so ever it shall please you to say, as therein your grace is very great, yet you see by these few, and must needs confess, if the Author of the Apology, touching this place of Hosius, were happily overseen by error, yet he had to many of the best Learned of this age, to keep him company in his error. Verily, they say not, as you say, Thus saith Zuenkfeldius: They say, as we say, Thus saith Hosius: It Hosius were able to blind so many, we must think, he was a skilful Writer.
