He divided the Bread,1 and laid up the third part of it in a Golden Dove, that hung over the Altar: and yet by his own tale, his golden Dove then was not yet ready made. For it followeth immediately in the next lines, After Basil had done these things, and had communed with Eubulus, and others, the next day he sent for a Gold smith, and made a Dove of pure Gold. It behooveth a liar to be mindful what he sayeth. If this Dove were made before, how was it made afterward? If it were not made before, how could it then hang over the Altar? Or how could Basil put his bread in it before it was made? And to what end was that bread so kept in the Dove? And wherein, or where, was the other third part kept, that Basil thus reserved purposely to be buried, or as M. Harding termeth it, to be interred with him? Wherein M. Hardinges Amphilochius both uttereth words of manifest blasphemy, and also shamefully belieth that holy Father, and doth him great and open injury. It was but fondly done by S.

It behooueth a liar to be mindeful what he sayeth. If this Dooue were made before, howe was it made afterwarde? If it were not made before, howe coulde it then hange ouer the Aultare? Or howe coulde Basile put his breade in it before it was made? And to what ende was that breade so keapte in the Dooue? And wherein, or where, was the other thirde parte keapte, that Basile thus reserued purposely to be buried, or as M. Hardinge termeth it, to be interred with him? Wherein M. Hardinges Amphilochius bothe vttereth woordes of manifeste blasphemie, and also shamefully belieth that holy Father, and doothe him great and open iniurie. It was but fondly donne by S. Benet,
