THE REFVTATION.
I acknowledge thy boldness in coining words. I acknowledge thy foolish scoffing. Therefore, albeit thou denyest as thou art wont impudently, that which thou thinkest can not be proved, yet this one place doth sufficiently show, that there is no other coiner of these arguments, or in deed writer of them, than thou alone, so now known to all good men, by thy singular impudency, lewdness, and hypocrisy, that thou canst not only no longer lurk under the name of Bellius or Theophilus, but also even then thou canst not hide thy self, when thou addest no name. But to what purpose should it be, to return these thy railings, which thou canst make no man believe, but those that be like thy self?
