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 maters hange stil in mortal enemitie, and are neuer like to be reconciled. Hauinge suche Bloudy fieldes at home, M. Hardinge should not be so ready to reproche others, for some one or other mater of dissension.
It were much to be wished, and God of his Mercy so grant it, if it be his holy Will, that the Gospel of Christ may pass forth freely, without any such occasion of offence, or hinderance. How be it, from the beginning it hath been otherwise. For even at the first planting of the Gospel, whiles the Martyrs Blood was yet warm,
