Much pleasant sport ye make us, with putting in the Popes answer. Be it, say you, that Hick, Hob, and Hans have accused the Pope. Would ye have him appear in this Court, or in that, to be judged by Jack, and Gil? The whole world, M. Harding, hath ⟨p. 608⟩of long time charged the Pope with Ambition, 1Bribery, Simony, Superstition, Idolatry, and open Corruption of the ordinances, and will of God. If he disdain the judgement of so many, and call the whole world Hick, and Hob, let him not marvel, if the whole world disdain him. If he may be both Judge, and Party, and may make answer only before him self, I doubt not, but he shall have a good favourable hearing.

If he disdeigne the iudgemente of so many, and calle the whole worlde Hicke, and Hob, let him not marueile, if the whole worlde disdeigne him. If he maie be both Iudge, and Partie, and maie make answeare onely before him selfe, I doubte not, but he shal haue a good fauourable hearinge.
