Where we say, We believe, there is one God, M. Harding answereth, He cannot well allow this Form of Speech. We should rather have said, saith he, we believe In God. Were not this Controller so importune, such simple petite quarrels should not be answered. I could never have thought, it had ben so great a sin, to Believe, that God is God Verily, M Harding, if every of your Popes, and Cardinals had believed so much, I trow, Cornelius the Bishop of Bito•to in your late Council at Trident would not so bitterly, and in so open sort have cried out of them,1 Utinam non à Fide ad Infidelitatē, à Deo ad Epicurum, velut prorsus unanimes declinassent, dicentes in cord Impio, & ore impudico, Non est Deus: Would God they were not gone, as it were with one consent, from the Faith to Infidelity, from God to Epicure, saying with wicked h•rte, and shameless mouth, There is no God.
Where wee saie, Wée beleeue, there is one God, M. Hardinge answeareth, He cannot wel allow this Fourme of Speache. Wee should rather haue said, saithe he, wee beléeue In God. Were not this Controller so importune, sutche simple petite quarcelles should not be answeared. I could neuer haue thought, it had ben so great a sinne, to Beleeue, that God is God Verily, M Hardinge, if euery of y•ur Popes, and Cardinalles had beléeued so mutche, I trow, Cornelius the Bishop of Bito•to in your late Councel at Tridente woulde not so bitterly, and in so open sorte haue cried out of them,1 Vtinam non à Fide ad Infidelitatē, à Deo ad Epicurum, velut prorsus vnanimes declinassent, dicentes in corde Impio, & ore impudico, Non est Deus: Would God they were not gonne, as it were with one consent, from the Faithe to Infidelitie, from God to Epicure, saieing with wicked h•rte, and shamelesse mouthe, There is no God.
