But, me thinketh, M. Harding doth herein, as Apelles the Painter sometime did, in setting out King Antigonus physiognomy. For understanding, that Antigonus was blind of the one side, he thought it best to paint him out only with half face, and so he cunningly shadowed the deformity of the other eye. Even so M. Harding showeth us certain variety of keeping the Sacrament, and other small matters of like weight: but the danger of Idolatry, and other like horrible deformities he dissembleth cunningly, and turneth from us. Loth I am, to use the comparison:1 But S. Hierome saith it: Diabolus nunquam see prodit aperta facie. The Devil never showeth him self openly with his whole face.
