For proof whereof M. Harding hath here brought in Women, Children, Sick folks, Infants, and Mad men: that these have sometimes received the one kind: some in their Private houses: some in their death beds: some otherwise, as he did before, for proof of his Private Mass. If in all this long treaty, he have brought any one example, or proof sufficient, of the Ministration in one kind openly used in any Church, it is good reason he be believed.
For proufe whereof M. Hardinge hath here brought in Wemen, Children, Sicke folkes, Infantes, and Madde men: that these haue sometimes receiued the one kinde: some in their Priuate houses: some in their death beddes: some otherwise, as he did before, for proufe of his Priuate Masse. If in al this longe treatie, he haue brought any one example, or proufe sufficient, of the Ministration in one kinde openly vsed in any Churche, it is good reason he be beléeued.
But if he after all these vaunts, having published such a book, as all the world, ⟨p. 97⟩as it is supposed,1 is not able to answer, have hither to brought no such, neither example, nor proof, then may we justly think, there is nothing to be brought at all: but that by his eloquence and fair speech, he seeketh to abuse the simplicity and ignorance of his Reader.
