Now, M. Harding compare our words, and the Councils words both together. We say none otherwise, but as the Council saith, The Bishop of Rome him self ought not to be called the Universal Bishop. Herein we do neither add, nor minish, but report the words plainly, as we find them. If you had looked better on your Book, and would have tried this matter, as you say, by your Learning, ye might well have reserved these Uncivil reproaches of Falsehood to your self, and have spared your Crying of Shame upon this Defender.

Touching, that you so pleasantly cheer your self with these words, You do as like to M. Jewel, as if you were his Fathers Son▪ I must answer you, as S. Augustine sometime did the Heretic Cresconius:1 Serua potius Puerilia Pueris: Keep such Childish toys to play with your Children. God make us both like unto our Father that is in Heaven.
