The reply. Sarum.
IT pleaseth you to make yourself merry with these words. I alleged unto you s. Augnstin, S. Ambrose, S. Basil, S. Chrysostom, S, Nierome, Gelasius, Theophilus, and S. Gregory. Therefore it is untrue that ye say. I had no will to satisfy your demand. Now bring you but one of all these, or any other of your side in y• matters that lie now between us, to satisfy ⟨p. 40⟩my demand, and as I have said, you shall have the victory.

You say we lack stuff to prove out purpose. O would to God your stuff and ours might be laid together, then should it soon appear how true it is that ye say, & how faithfully ye have used the people of God.
