The two words, propter Haereticos, that are patched in by Ado a man of late years, as they do nothing help the sense, so have they no help of the story of that time. For a man may well demand of Ado this new Doctor, what were these strange unknown Heretics without name, that you at the last for a shift have espied out? where began they? where dwelt they? what taught they? how long continued they? who maintained them? who confuted them? what Council condemned them? For it seemeth somewhat strange, that there should be companies, & routes of Heretics in the world, that no man ever knew but Doctor Ado.
The twoo woordes, propter Haereticos, that are patched in by Ado a man of late yeeres, as they doo nothinge healpe the sense, so haue they no healpe of the storie of that time. For a man may wel demaunde of Ado this newe Doctour, what were these straunge vnknowen Heretikes without name, that you at the laste for a shifte haue espied out? where beganne they? where dwelte they? what taught they? howe longe continued they? who mainteined them? who confuted them? what Councel condemned them? For it séemeth somewhat straunge, that there should be companies, & routes of Heretikes in the worlde, that noman euer knew but Doctour Ado.
And where as M. Harding putteth in of his own besides his book (for Damasus hath no such thing,1 nor any other thing like) that these new found Heretics, in the Ministration kept not the Catholic usage, he should have showed for his credits sake, what other usage they kept, that was not Catholic: for his word is not yet Canonized. The world will believe neither him nor Ado without some proof.
And where as M. Hardinge putteth in of his owne bisides his booke (for Damasus hath no suche thinge,1 nor any other thinge like) that these newe founde Heretikes, in the Ministration keapte not the Catholique vsage, he shoulde haue shewed for his credites sake, what other vsage they keapte, that was not Catholique: for his woorde is not yet Canonized. The worlde wil beleue neither him nor Ado without some proufe.
