Where we say, Pope Liberius favoured the Arians, that, ye say, is stark false. And yet,1 ye know, S. Hierome is the reporter of that falsehood. But S. Hierome, ye say, was deceived. In such Reverence, and Regard ye have the Doctors, ⟨p. 617⟩and Learned Fathers of the Church. Ye believe them no further, then ye list. I doubt not, but S. Hierome might better say, M. Harding is deceived. Certainly? Alphonsus, your own Doctoure, saith, De Liberio Papa, Constat fuisse Arianum: Touching Pope Liberius,2 it is well known, he was an Arian. Platyna saith, Liberius, ut quidam volunt, in rebus omnibus sensit cum Haereticis: Pope Liberius, as some say, was in all points of one judgement with the (Arian) Heretics.
