What, M. Harding, so much falsehood upon us at one time? Falsifying of Councils: Shameful Falsifying: False teaching: False sleight: False Dice: False Play: and all False? Yet Christ saith of him self, I am the Truth. God give you grace, to credit him. For the error of quotation in the margin, wherein you spend so many words, it may please you to know, that I neither was the Printer, nor could be present at the Printing. For the rest, if there can be any one point of Falsehood found in me, touching the allegation of this Council of Carthage, I will not refuse to stand charged with the whole. But if every of these horrible Falsehoods be found an evident, and plain Truth, then it may please you, to take home all these pretty Titles to your self again, as in every of these words so often doubled, and so heaped together, having your self committed a several Falsehood.
