Therefore, whereas ye call us forth, and bid us humbly to cry you mercy, first bid Hosius your Schoolmaster to recant his Errors: will him to speak more reverently of God's Word: for it is Holy: Let him confess, & repent his Blasphemy in comparing the Scriptures of God with Heathenish Ballads. Recant you the Errors, that Pigghius, Cusanus, Eckius, and others your Doctors, and Fellows have set abroad: And the Author of the Apology shall do, what so ever shall behove him.
