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.

Sermone Domini in Monte, where as S. Augustine never wrote but two. The place wherewith M. Harding findeth him self grieved, is to be found in S. Augustine De Verbis Apostoli: the words be these:
