And thus for judgement and trial of Truth, we shall be returned to the Church and to the Fathers, by whom the Holy Ghost speaketh unto us, whose Authority and due estimation ye go about to remove from us.
And thus for iudgemente and trial of Truthe, we shalbe retourned to the Churche and to the Fathers, by whom the Holy Ghoste speaketh vnto vs, whose Authoritie and due estimation ye go aboute to remooue from vs.
But let us see, what force ye bring to drive us from this hold. Making your battery against it, what shoot ye of but Wind and Paper? Your Artillery maketh a no• es, but it giveth no blow. As in the last allegation ye falsified the sense of S. Augustine, so in this ye falsify both the sense and words of S. Hierome. The words, as ye allege them, seem to be spoken against what so ever Tradition, of the Apostles. Which words, or any the like to such purpose, were never uttered by any Catholic Doctor of the Church, much less by S. Hierome. Look ye again and view better the place, ye shall say your selves, that I find the fault of falsifying in you not without cause.
But let vs see, what force ye bringe to driue vs from this holde. Makinge your batterie against it, what shoote ye of but VVinde and Paper? Your Artillerie makethe a no• es, but it geueth no blowe. As in the laste allegation ye falsified the sense of S. Augustine, so in this ye falsifie bothe the sense and woordes of S. Hierome. The woordes, as ye allege them, seeme to be spoken against what so euer Tradition, of the Apostles. VVhiche woordes, or any the like to sutche purpose, were neuer vtered by any Catholike Doctour of the Churche, mutche lesse by S. Hierome. Looke ye againe and vewe better the place, ye shal saye your selues, that I finde the faulte of falsefyeinge in you not without cause.
