But thought you in deed,1 M. Harding, I will not say, as you say, that with so Lousy, and Beggarly, but that with so poor, and simple stuff ye should be able to mock the word? Many fond tales both you, and your fellows have sent us over: but a fonder tale, then this tale is, of your Pardons, and Purgatories, ye have sent us none. I must say to you, as S. Augustine sometime said to Julianus the Pelagian Heretic: 2Necessitate compellitur Talibus pannis indui dui tam magna etiam Vestra superbia: Your Pride, be it never so great, even for very poor need and beggary, is fain to cover it self with such sorry clouts.

Many fonde tales bothe you, and your felowes haue sent vs ouer: but a fonder tale, then this tale is, of your Pardonnes, and Purgatories, ye haue sente vs none. I muste saie to you, as S. Augustine sommetime saide to Iulianus the Pelagian Heretique: 2Necessitate compellitur Talibus pannis indui dui tam magna etiam Vestra superbia: Your Pride, be it neuer so greate, euen for very poore neede and beggerie, is faine to couer it selfe with sutche soary clowtes.
