Here, at last, M. Harding, for shame, ye are fain to yield. No Doctor, ye say, ever thus said, neither Old, nor New. How be it, hereto ye have laid a very special exception: If any man have so said, say ye, what so ever he were, he spake not Catholicly. And yet again ye tell us further, How so ever it be, we should never be scrupulous in such matters.
Here, at laste, M. Hardinge, for shame, yée are faine to yeelde. No Doctoure, ye saie, euer thus saide, neither Olde, nor Nevve. How be it, hereto ye haue laide a very special exception: If any man haue so saide, saie ye, what so euer he were, he spake not Catholikely. And yet againe ye tel vs further, How so euer it be, we should neuer be scrupulous in suche matters.
