If I wish, ye would take my counsel in good part, and listen unto it,* as it standeth you upon, I would advise you to call in all the books of your Apology, and that with no less diligence, then ye went about to suppress the Books of my answer to M. Ivelles challenge, at their first coming abroad. That done, to caste brutes abroad, that the Apology was made and counterfeited by some crafty Papist, to bring you quite out of credit with all the world. So might ye perhaps in time recover some part of your lost estimation. For whiles your Books be in mens hands, they shall be an evident witness to all the world, of your shameless lying.
