And being so often times required, why be ye so loth to show forth but one old doctor of your […] […] make […] believe, ye would not have the ma• ⟨image 84⟩cum to tryall. Only ye set forth the empty names of S. Augustine, of saint […], of S. Chrysostom, of S. Basil, of S. Cyprian, of Tertullian, of Ireneus, of Dionysius, of the councils. &c.
