But Caiaphas said, It is good, that one man die for the people, lest all the people perish. Ergo, say you, Caiaphas had the Sprite of God. Alas, M. Harding, although you little pass for your Divinity, yet why have you no more regard unto your Logic? Every child knoweth, that this is a Paralogismus, or a deceitful kind of reasoning, called Fallacia Accidentis. And, that ye may the better espy your oversight, Like as ye say, Caiaphas prophesied blindly, him self not understanding, what he said, Ergo, he had the Holy Ghost:
But Caiphas saide, It is good, that one man die for the people, leste al the people perishe. Ergo, saie you, Caiphas had the Sprite of God. Alas, M. Hardinge, although you litle passe for your Diuinitie, yet why haue you nomore regarde vnto your Logique? Euery childe knoweth, that this is a Paralogismus, or a deceiteful kinde of reasoninge, called Fallacia Accidentis. And, that yee maie the better espie your ouersight, Like as yée saie, Caiphas prophesied blindely, him selfe not vnderstandinge, what he saide, Ergo, he had the Holy Ghoste:
Even so may ye say, Balaam's Ass reproved his master, and spake the Truth, as Caiaphas did. Ergo, Balaam's Ass had the Holy Ghost. S. Paul saith, No man can say, The Lord Jesus, but in the Sprite of God. Hereof, by your Logic, ye may reason thus: The Devil said unto Christ, I know, that thou art Christ the Son of the Living God: 1Ergo, the Devil had the Sprite of God.
Euen so maie yée saie, Balaams Asse reproued his maister, and spake the Truthe, as Caiphas did. Ergo, Balaams Asse had the Holy Ghoste. S. Paule saithe, No man can saie, The Lorde Iesus, but in the Sprite of God. Hereof, by your Logique, yée maie reason thus: The Diuel saide vnto Christe, I knowe, that thou arte Christe the Sonne of the Liuinge God: 1Ergo, the Diuel had the Sprite of God.
