As for your Learning, M. Harding, we never reproved it. How be it, greatly to fear it, we have no cause. God give you Grace, ye may wholly turn it to his glory: lest in the day of the Lord it be laid against you. He is over well learned, that bendeth his Learning against God.

But, if we be so utterly void of all manner of Learning, painting, as you say, our Books, and Margins with the Names, and Authorities of so many Doctors, what may your friends then think of you, that standing so long in the Defence of your Private Mass, are not yet able to allege one Doctor, nor Greek, nor Latin, nor one, nor other? It seemeth great marvel, ye should have such abundance of Doctors, and show so few, specially where it standeth you so much upon, to open your store. Consider, I beseech you, your late Rejoinder: wherein, as it is thought, nothing of your part is left untouched. Of the Seven and twenty Articles contained in my Reply, ye have taken upon you only to answer One. And yet of the same One, ye have scarcely touched the tenth part. Your purpose should have been therein, by evident Examples, and good Authorities, substantially to have proved your Private Mass.
But, if wee be so vtterly voide of al manner of Learninge, paintinge, as you saie, our Bookes, and Margines with the Names, and Authorities of so many Doctours, what maie your frendes then thinke of you, that standing so longe in the Defence of your Priuate Masse, are not yet hable to allege one Doctoure, nor Greeke, nor Latine, nor one, nor other? It seemeth greate marueile, yee shoulde haue sutche abundance of Doctours, and shewe so fewe, specially where it standeth you so mutche vpon, to open your stoare. Consider, I beseeche you, your late Reioinder: wherein, as it is thought, nothinge of your parte is leafte vntouched. Of the Seuen and twentie Articles conteined in my Replie, yee haue taken vpon you onely to answeare One. And yet of the same One, yee haue scarcely touched the tenthe parte. Your pourpose should haue benne therein, by euidente Examples, and good Authorities, substantially to haue proued your Priuate Masse.
