To these follies S. Hierome answereth thus, Cùm ipsa Epistola doceat, nihil mutatum esse de sensu, nec res additas, nec aliquod dogma confictum, faciunt nae isti intelligendo, ut nihil intelligant: & dum alienam imperitiam volunt coarguere, produnt suam: Whereas the Epistle it self declareth, that there is no alteration made in the sense, and that there is neither matter of substance added, nor any Doctrine imagined, verily by their great cunning, they prove them selves fools: and seeking to reprove other mens unskilfulness, they betray their own.
To these folies S. Hierome answeareth thus, Cùm ipsa Epistola doceat, nihil mutatum esse de sensu, nec res additas, nec aliquod dogma confictum, faciunt nae isti intelligendo, vt nihil intelligant: & dum alienam imperitiam volunt coarguere, produnt suam: Whereas the Epistle it selfe declareth, that there is no alteration made in the sense, and that there is neither mater of substance added, nor any Doctrine imagined, verily by their greate cunninge, they proue them selues fooles: and seekinge to reproue other mennes vnskilfulnesse, they betraie theire owne.

These words be plain: not only that haughty Lady Nineveh, but also the Church, or Temple, that beareth the Name of Christ, shall be consumed, and brought to an end.
