Where as M. Harding thus checketh us with some dissension, that hath been between Doctor Luther, and Doctor Zuinglius touching this matter of Adoration, I may justly say unto him, as one sometime said unto Philippus the King of Macedonia, entreating a peace between Peloponnesus, and the rest of Graecia: Go first, 1and conclude a peace in thine own house at home. For at the same time his own wife Olympias, and his own son Alexander were known to live in deadly dissension: And therefore he seemed no fit instrument, to conclude a peace between others.

M. Harding should have remembered, that the greatest Buttresses, and Pillars of his Gospel, sithence the first beginning of his New Doctrine, have evermore lived in Contradiction, and could never yet be reconciled. He should have remembered, that his own Doctors, and chiefest Doctors, Pope Innocentius & Scotus, teach contrary Doctrines: That Scotus is against Thomas: Ockam, against Scotus: Petrus de Alliaco, against Ockam: and the Nominals against the Reals: and not only thus, but also Scotists against Scotists, and Thomists against Thomists, at Civil war within one band: and that touching the very Words of Consecration, and other like matters both great, and many: whereof to show the Particulars, it would be tedious. But the matters hang still in mortal enmity, and are never like to be reconciled. Having such Bloody fields at home, M. Harding should not be so ready to reproach others, for some one or other matter of dissension.
