The words of the Council of Hippo, and, for so much, also of the third Council of Carthage, 1be these: Scripturae Canonicae in Ecclesia legendae quae sunt: & praeter quas alia non legantur: The Scriptures Canonical, which are to read in the Church: and besides which nothing else may be read. Here have you, M. Harding, the plain words of the Council of Hippo, abridged out of the third Council of Carthage, That nothing may be read in the Church, but only the Canonical Scriptures. Judge you therefore, how just cause ye had, so unadvisedly, for I vate not to say, so unlearnedly, to charge the Apology with Lies, and Falsehood.
The woordes of the Councel of Hippo, and, for so mutche, also of the thirde Councel of Carthage, 1be these: Scripturae Canonicae in Ecclesia legendae quae sunt: & praeter quas alia non legantur: The Scriptures Canonical, whiche are to read in the Churche: and besides whiche nothinge els maie be read. Here haue you, M. Hardinge, the plaine woordes of the Councel of Hippo, abberidged out of the thirde Councel of Carthage, That nothinge maie be read in the Churche, but onely the Canonical Scriptures. Iudge you therefore, howe iuste cause ye had, so vnaduisedly, for I vate not to saie, so vnlearnedly, to charge the Apologie with Lies, and Falsehedde.

Hereto may we add the like Decree of the Council holden at Laodicea: Sabbatjs Evangelia cum alijs Scripturis legenda esse censemus:1 We agree that the Gospel, with others Scriptures, be read upon the Sabbath day. If these words seem not sufficient, 2it followeth further in the same Councel, Non oportet Libros, qui sunt extra Canonem, legere, nisi solos Canonicos Veteris, & Novi Testamenti: We may not read any Books, that be without the Canon, but only the Canonical Books of the Old, and New Testament.
