Eusebius. If thou haddest as well read the works of Saint Augustine, and of other ancient Doctors, as the books of Ovid and other Poets and Authors of the Paynims, thou wouldest speak otherwise, and thou shouldest not have fallen into such deep roots of errors and heresies in which thou art wrapped in, in such for that thou canst not come forth, what so ever thing one may propound to the contrary.

Eusebius. If thou haddest as well read the workes of Sainct Augustine, and of other auncient Doctors, as the bookes of Ouid and other Poets and Autors of the Panims, thou wouldest speake otherwise, and thou shouldest not haue fallen into such déepe rootes of errors and heresles in which thou art wrapped in, in such for that thou canst not come forth, what so euer thing one may propound to the contrary.

Hillarius, I gladly desire, if that I am plunged in so deep[e error as thou sayest that I am, that thou wouldest aid and help me to come out of it: And if I have not read the ancient Doctors so diligently, as thou thinkest that thou haste read, I would that therein thou wouldest amend my fault, and that thou couldest show me so good out of their books, that I might have occasion to content my self. But I do now know by experience, that that which I thought, is true. For I doubt very much, that even as I have said at the beginning, all thy artillery, canons, and munitions with thy matter gunner Eccius, should be all consumed into smoke, as it appeareth unto me at this present. I did look for certain strong arguments and that a great number of them, but if thou hast no other weapons, thou art not so well armed as thou vauntest thy self: except peradventure there be some thing more excellent in the arriere guard.
