Where ye say, M. Harding, as, I think, ye have learned of a child, that, Mentiris, is a Verb Common, if ye hold on, as ye have begun, ye will shortly alter y• Property thereof to your self, & make it henceforth a verb Private. Touching Hostiensis, and Panormitane, I will say nothing, but only refer you to the places.

Hardinge, as, I thinke, yee haue learned of a childe, that, Mentiris, is a Verbe Common, if ye holde on, as yee haue begonne, ye wil shortely alter y• Propertie therof to your selfe, & make it hencefoorthe a verbe Priuate. Touchinge Hostiensis, and Panormitane, I wil saie nothinge, but onely referre you to the places.
As for Cornelius the Bishop of Bitonto, for as much as, contrary to your Nature, ye plead ignorance, and say, ye cannot find the place, read therefore these words in his Oration, openly pronounced in your late Chapter at Tridente: Quis erit tam iniustus rerum aestimator,1 qui non dicat, Papa Lux venit in Mundum: sed dilexerunt homines Tenebras magis quam Lucem. Omnis, qui malè agit,2 odit Lucem: & non venit ad Lucem: ut non arguantur opera eius, quia mala sunt: Who will so uniuslely weight things, but he will say, The Pope is the Light, that is come into the world? But men have loved darkness, more then (the Pope, that is) the Light. Who so ever doth evil, hateth the Light: and cometh not to the Light: lest his works should be discovered, for that they be evil.
