Luther, ye say, in disputation, was inflamed with anger, and passed the bounds of modesty. No doubt, M. Harding, if he had had some part of your sobriety, and modesty, he might have done a great deal better. Touching the matter, being zealously moved with the iniquity, and wicked wilfulness of his Adversaries, he uttered these words,1 not of him self, but of Freer Eckius, that disputed against him: Eckius, and his fellows never began this matter for God's sake, nor for God's sake will they end it. For he saw, they had begun, & were bent to end it against God, as being inflamed with ambition, and malice, and procured, and hired by the Pope. Even so, M. Harding, may we also truly say, You, and your Fellows have not begun these your Contentious Vanities for God's sake: nor for God's sake will you end them.
