Ye say, The Patriarchs of Assyria, and Armenia (that never saw, neither the one Country, nor the other) were at Rome (ye know not, when) and subscribed to all the Articles of your Council of Trident. O M. Harding, ye can grate no great credit by open mockery. It is no hard matter for your Pope, out of his own guard to make such Patriarchs enough, one for Jerusalem, an other for Constantinople, an other for Alexandria, an other for Antioch, an other for Sidon, an other for Tyre: and I marvel, if there be not some Patriarch, one, or other, for Sodom, and Gomorrah. These poor Holy, and Hungry Fathers are contented at all times, to yield their submissions, and to set their hands to what so ever ⟨p. 714⟩they shall be required,1 and in the names of those Countries, that they scarcely over heard of, to confess, the Pope their master, to be all, & more then all. With such daine shows, and visa•des, it pleaseth you to smooth the world.

O M. Hardinge, yee can grate no greate credite by open mockerie. It is no harde mater for your Pope, out of his owne garde to make sutche Patriarkes yenough, one for Hierusalem, an other for Constantinople, an other for Alexandria, an other for Antioche, an other for Sidon, an other for Tyrus: and I marueile, if there be not somme Patriarke, one, or other, for Sodome, and Gomorre. These poore Holy, and Hongry Fathers are contented at al times, to yelde theire submissions, and to sette theire handes to what so euer ⟨p. 714⟩they shalbe required,1 and in the names of those Countries, that they scareely ouer hearde of, to confesse, the Pope their maister, to be al, & more then al. With sutche daine shewes, and visa•des, it pleaseth you to smoothe the worlde.
