Ye grant, there is more light and knowledge now, then was before. The greater is either your fault, or your folly, M. Harding, that in the broad day, & open Light so busily set forth the works of darkness. S. Chrysostom saithe, 1Hic est multò impudentior.

Post inspirationem verò & reuelationem factam, 2qui in eo, quod errauerat, perseuerat prudens, & sciens, sine venia ignorantiae peccat. Praesumptione enim, atque obstinatione superatur:. ⟨p. 51⟩He that is deceiued,
