Nevertheless M. Harding is well able to fortify all these things by the Authority of the Scriptures. And here in stead of the first Chapter of the Prophet Hosea,1 be allegeth the first Chapter of the Book of Joshua. And lest thou shouldest think, it were only a marginal error, brought in by some oversight of the Printer, as he useth sometimes to excuse, and to shift the matter, he hath thus laid it wide open in his own text, Hereof the Holy Captain Joshua seemeth to speak. Howe be it, one error may the better be dissembled amongst so many.
Neuerthelesse M. Hardinge is wel hable to fortifie al these thinges by the Authoritie of the Scriptures. And here in steede of the firste Chapter of the Prophete Osee,1 be allegeth the firste Chapter of the Booke of Iosua. And leste thou shouldest thinke, it were onely a marginal errour, brought in by somme ouersight of the Printer, as he vsethe sometimes to excuse, and to shifte the mater, he hathe thus laide it wide open in his owne texte, Hereof the Holy Captaine Iosue seemeth to speake. Howe be it, one errour maie the better be dissembled emongst so many.

In deed the Prophet Hosea, and not the Holy Captain Joshua, speaketh these words: but not, as M. Harding imagineth▪ of the state of all Christendom under One Pope, but of that Unity, and Consent, that all the Faithful of the world, as well Jews, as Gentiles should have under One Christ: as it is most evident by the whole discourse of the text.
