I• M. Hardinges cause were true, he would not avouch it with such untruth, and so often corruption of the holy fathers. If S. Cyprian writing this Epistle to Cornelius the Bishop of Rome, once name him either the High Priest: Or Christs Vicar General in earth: Or Universal Bishop: Or Head of the Universal Church: Or say, that the whole Brotherhood of all Christian people ought to be obedient unto him, As M. Harding untruly, and contrary to his own• knowledge expoundeth it: or if either his words, or his purpose of writing, may seem any way to lead to that end, then may M. Harding seem to have some honest colour for his defence. Otherwise we may justly say, He racketh the Doctors, and forceth them to speak, what him listeth, to s•rue his t•rne.
