I see, there is no pardon to be hoped for at M. Hardinges hands. Because I noted not, in what Book, and Chapter this place is to be found, therefore he beareth men in hand, I seek means to deceive the Reader. If this poor quarrel may stand for proof, then is it no hard matter by the same Logic, to conclude the like against him. For M. Harding oft•times useth the authority of S. Augustine, and other Fathers, without any noting of the places, as his own Book is best witness: Ergo, M. Harding seeketh means to deceive his Reader.
I sée, there is no pardon to be hoped for at M. Hardinges handes. Bicause I noted not, in what Booke, and Chapter this place is to be founde, therfore he beareth men in hande, I séeke meanes to deceiue the Reader. If this poore quarel may stande for proufe, then is it no harde mater by the same Logique, to conclude the like against him. For M. Harding oft•times vseth the authoritie of S. Augustine, and other Fathers, without any noting of the places, as his owne Booke is best witnesse: Ergo, M. Harding séeketh meanes to deceiue his Reader.
But in my judgement better it is not to note the places at all, then falsely to note them, as M. Hardinges manner is to do: as where he untruly allegeth the Decree of the Council of Ephesus against Nestorius, for the Communion in One inde: which Decree neither is to be found in that Council, nor ever was recorded, or mentioned by any old Father: Or where he allegeth the Decree of the first Council of Nice, for the Supremacy of the Bishop of Rome: him self confessing that the same Decree was burnt, I know not how, and could never yet be seen until this day. Verily, this is a ready way to deceive the Reader.
