Now, with what Sprite the Bishops of Rome have expounded unto us the Holy Scriptures of God, we shall show it hereafter, as fitter occasion shall require.

Here, you say, we have corrupted both the words, and the sense of S. Hierome: That we have taken, Omnia, in steede of, Alia: And that you have devised, and made nothing of your selves: that S. Hierome meant not hereby the Traditions of the Apostles, but only the fond fantasies, and dreams of the Heretics called Tatians.
Here, you saye, wée haue corrupted bothe the woordes, and the sense of S. Hierome: That we haue taken, Omnia, in stéede of, Alia: And that you haue diuised, and made nothinge of your selues: that S. Hierome meante not heereby the Traditions of the Apostles, but onely the fonde fantastes, and dreames of the Heretiques called Tatians.
Of all these things, we must needs confess, one thing is true. In deed we took, Omnia, in steede of, Alia: and so by oversight gave some occasion unto the quarreller. Howe be it I doubt not, but the indifferent gentle Reader will soon pardon that fault. It proceeded only of negligence, & not of malice. Notwithstanding this want may easily be supplied by a sufficient Commentary.1 For Christe saith, Omnis, plantatio, quam non plantaverit Pater meus Coelestis, eradicabitur. Every plant, that my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted out. Here, M. Harding, ye may borrow, Omnia, to healpe S. Hierome.
