O M. Harding, God open the eyes of your heart, that you may see the miserable nakedness of your side. Deceive not your self. Mock not the World. Consider better of your Authorities. Of all the holy learned Fathers, of whom, ye tell us, ye have such store, ye are not yet able to show us one, either Greek, or Latin: or Heretic, or Catholic: from the rising of the Sun, to the Sun going down, that ever said, as you sai•, A mortal man hath Authority, and power, to offer up in Sacrifice the Son of God.
O M. Hardinge, God open the eies of your harte, that yowe maie sée the miserable nakednes of your side. Deceiue not your selfe. Mocke not the World. Consider better of your Authorities. Of al the holy learned Fathers, of whom, ye tel vs, ye haue suche stoare, ye are not yet hable to shew vs one, either Greeke, or Latine: or Heretique, or Catholique: from the risinge of the Sonne, to the Sonne goeinge downe, that euer saide, as yowe sai•, A mortal man hath Authoritie, and power, to offer vp in Sacrifice the Sonne of God.
