Sarum.
YE press me sore, that if I write you not a book of my proofs, it will be, thought I do it, conscientia imbecillitatis. By like ye have forgotten, why ye withal your company not long sense refused to enter into disputation with us at Westminster. Doubtless the greatest part thought it was, as it was in deed, conscientia imbecillitatis. And what think ye is there now thought in you, y• being so often required, yet can not be won to bring so much as one pore sentence in your own defence? I have before alleged a few reasons of my part, which, by order of disputation, I was not bound to do. Now let the world judge, whether of us both flieth conference.
