The Saying of S. Hierome is avouched by y• like Saying of Ruffinus an Ancient writer. Thus he saith. Unam notam Haereseos qui dissimulat, non est Christianus: Who so dissembleth, when he is called Heretic, is no Christian man. For the rest blame me not, good Christian Reader, if I use no moe words, then need requireth. If I thought it worthy the while, I could answer all these things more at large. I trust, in our whole Apology there appeareth no such immoderate kind of railing. But if I should follow M. Hardinges humour, and write but the one half of that he writeth, then perhaps I might worthily be called a railer.
