But, to leave all other untruths, wherewith these Epistles be stuffed full, mark, gentle Reader, only this oversight, and thou shalt plainly see with thine •tes, that M. Hardinges Doctor is an impudent, and an open liar. For the true ⟨p. 234⟩Athanasius him self, of whom we make no doubt, saith, that the Arians at Alexandria burnt the Catholic mens books,1 and therewithal the Canons of the Council of Nice,2 in the time of the Emperor Constantius, Julius being then Bishop of Rome: which observation of time, appeareth also by Socrates in his story. But M. Hardinges Athanasius is either so forgetful of his lies, or so impudent, & careless what he say, that he maketh piteous complaint of the said burning unto Marcus, that was Bishop in Rome before Julius, and was dead at the least nine years before the Canons were burnt. By such Doctors M. Harding upholdeth the state of Rome.
