Rainoldes. A man not of so great learning, as reading, if you will take my judgement in it. Yet I wish (for his own sake) that his learning were as good, as it is great. But for the uncivil ⟨p. 128⟩speeches, and taunts, which I use against him; weigh the occasions and circumstances of them. If he have not deserved as fthe Scribes and Pharisees: let me be rebuked when I touch him, as Christ them.

Hart, *who love or make lies, either by committing such shameful tricks of falsehood, or by partaking with them. It is no shame for me to note them, and reprove them.
