Soft and fair, Sir Defender: you have not yet proved, that you say, is manifest, and out of ⟨p. 582⟩all peradventure. Remember you not the old homely verse of youre sophistrie. Neque negativis, rectè concludere si vis? Speak to the purpose, or else I would you would make an end of your filly follies. For in deed you trifle, and say nothing worth to be answered. And here little cause do you minister unto me, to utter substantial stuff. Which I desire the discrete Reader to consider, for mine excuse, that with a trifler I do also but trifle.
