I do not tell scorn to speak, For thou oughtest to understand, that the man, of whom I have told thee is so much ambitious & covetous of name & fame, that it is all one to him, so that men speak of him. ⟨image 263⟩And I believe, that if he could obtain that by any such proves, as that of Herostratus, who burned the […] of Diana the Ephesian, for to make himself to ¹[…] spoken off, he would do no less. And I would to God that he did no worse, then he. For Herostratus burned a temple full of Idols, which caused all Asia to commit Idolatry. But this fellow here, as the Giants did, ²would make war against the heaven: fight against God: burn his temple, and resist the holy Ghost, and the truth that he hath known.
