But how vain this their answer is / it appeareth plainly: for so may all the good old authors which lay in old libraries / and are set fourth of late / be by this reason rejected / as Clemens / Alexandrinus / Theodoretus / Justinus / ecclesiastica Historia Nicephori / and other such.

Another answer they had saying that Origene is noted to have erred in some points / and therefore faith is not to be given in this matter to him.
Another answere they had saiyng that Origene is noted to haue erred in some pointes / and therefore faith is not to be geuen in this matter to hym.
But this answer well weighed doth minister good matter to the clear confutation of it self. For in deed we grant that in some points Origene did err / but those errors are gathered out / and noted both of S Hierom / and Epiphanius / soe that his works (those errors excepted) are now so much the more of authority / that such great learned men / toke pains to draw out of him / what soever they thought in him to be written amiss. But as concerning this matter of the lords supper / neither they / nor yet ever any other ancient author did ever say that Origene did err.
