Eusebius. If they would after that sort make the books either Canonical or Apocrypha at their pleasure: ⟨p. 219⟩it is mere folly to disputes with them. For all those which be not to their minds shall be Apocrypha.

Theophilus. If thou wilt not be confen•ed with the reasons by me alleged, go and plead against Saint Hierome 1and your decrees. If the ancients had not used judgement and wisdom, how many books would the heretics have brought into the Church under the name of the Prophets, Apostles and of their Disciples: The which they have re••csed them, following that same rule, which I have given unto thee: as it appeareth by your decrees, which are a great roll of them. But I will yet do more, to the end I leave the• not an occasion, to be miscontented with me. I am content, by way of disputation, to put the case that y• book should be authentic & of a divine authority. And although 2it were so, it would serve thee yet nevertheless nothing at all for to prove that there is a Purgatory, & that we must offer for the dead, to such intent, and in such sort, as you do make it, And for to declare this unto thee more plainly, I demand of thee, for to begin first ou matter, in what time was that made, which the history containeth? was it before the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, or afterwards?
