Thus have I opened 19. untruths all ⟨p. 68⟩packed in this Bull. If I would have been curious or quarelous, I might have gathered twice so many. But I have no pleasure to pass farther in them. God and man, heaven and earth know they are untrue.1 I may say to Pope Pius, thou son of man how long wilt thou blaspheme the honour of God? Why hast thou such pleasure in vanity, and seekest after leasing? What opinion hath he of our nation? Doeth he think we are so simple to be led in a masket with so vain fables? Doth he think we have neither eyes to see, nor hearts to judge? Doth he think his bare word will go for Gospel? Would he write thus if he thought there were a God? If he deceive us in these earthly things which we see with our eyes, no reason we credit him in heavenly things, Christ is the trueth. It becometh not his Vicar to speak falsehood.
