Eusebius. Sing not the triumph before the victory. For thou art yet very far from thy reckoning, and from that thou thinkest, the strongest is yet to do. But with much a doe one could speak a word before thee. Thou art of the nature of women. For thou must always be baling, and thou wouldst rather dye, but that thou wilt have the ⟨image 180⟩last word. Thomas hath granted unto me this day, to put forth my reasons, and to answer and rely unto yours: But even as Theophilus and you do? So must I yet have a few days respite, before that I can bring that that I have to say against you.
