M. Harding standeth very long, in discoursing this matter by natural reason▪ And for that he knew, S. Augustine saith, Si ratio contra Divinarum Scripturarum ⟨p. 256⟩authoritatem redditur, 1quamlibet acuta sit, fallit verisimilitudine: Nam veta esse non potest. If natural reason be alleged against the authority of the holy Scriptures, be it never so subtle, it beguileth men by a likeness, or colour of the Trueth: for true it cannot be. And for that he also saw, the reasons he hath brought, are very simple, and carry no weight, he hath therefore thrust a great many of them in a throng together, both to fill the Hearers senses, & also, that the one might the better aide the other.
