Touching the matter you have devised upon M. Clement, he doth not only deny it in word, that ever he burnt or otherwise destroyed any leaf of Theodoritus, but also declareth by the whole order of his life, and by special regard and love he beareth to the tongue, which that learned Bishop wrote in, that he hath ever ben, and yet is far from the will to burn or destroy any scrap, syllable, or letter of Greek, much more certain leaves of the learned Father Theodoritus, where any such thing was written, as you imagine. Nay, Well ye have the truth? In very deed he sayeth, and by such way, as a godly and grave man may avouch a truth, protesteth, that he never had hitherto any part of that book, neither in Greek, or in Latin in written hand.
