Concerning Nestorius, M. Harding in the drift of his tale hath handsomely couched in a great untruth. For where as he saith, Nestorius held this opinion, That in the Sacrament of the Bread, we receive only Christs Body without his Blood:1 and in the Cup, the Blood of Christ alone without the Body: neither did Nestorius, notwithstanding he were an Heretic, ever hold this peevish error, nor is there any such record either in the Council of Ephesus, that here untruly is alleged, or in any other Old Council, or Ancient Father.

But the right of M. Hardinges cause hangeth of such Evidence, as never was found in any record. If there be any such Canon to be found in that whole Council, or any mention thereof made in any of all the Ancient Doctors, let M. Harding show it, that we may believe him. If, having alleged it so constantly, and so often, he be able utterly to show nothing, let him give men leave to think, that he abuseth the world with Vain Titles, and meaneth no trueth.

If there be any suche Canon to be founde in that whole Councel, or any mention thereof made in any of al the Ancient Doctours, let M. Hardinge shew it, that wee may beleeue him. If, hauinge alleged it so constantly, and so often, he be hable vtterly to shew nothinge, let him geue menne leaue to thinke, that he abuseth the worlde with Uaine Titles, and meaneth no trueth.
