Ye wrest the saying of S. Hierome to your purpose, that is to say, so as it may seem to be spoken against the Church, that now is, wherein ye make him a Prophet. And that this place might sound the more against the Clergy, to the commendation of the people, and to stir them to read the Scriptures: after your accustomed manner ye stick not to add some what of your own in one place: to take away a little of the Doctor in an other place: to alter the words in an other place. Who looketh so narrowly for trial of this, as your secretary thought maliciously, when he wrote it: by diligent conference of this Apology with S. Jerome he shall find it.
