Hart. You excuse Erasmus, as though the suspicion which his censures raise of some things in S. Austins works, proceeded from a carefulness, that he might neither be deceived, nor deceive. Which if it had been so: his fault were the lesser. But qTorrensis showeth, that whereas there are two 1treatises of his, touching the ⟨p. 200⟩common life and manners of Clergy men, in which the spring and orders of the life of monks are faithfully declared: Erasmus, of malice (as it may seem) for hatred that he bare to monks, removed them both out of their own place, and put them guilefully amongst 2the sermons entitled to the Eremite Friars; giving a note of infamy as to most of these, so to them withal; though him self deny not, but they were made by S. Austin. This is more, then distrusting a good angel for the bad. This is wilful refusing of an angel, as bad, the which he knoweth to be good.
