The same practise he objecteth also to Master Doctor Jewell, 1the late worthy Bishop of Salisbury of blessed memory, who yet I am persuaded hath dealt as faithfully and sincerely with Doctor Harding, as any adversary hath ever done with another. In his Reply he hath printed D. Hardings whole book, omitting nothing from the beginning to the end, and made to all that he alleged for maintenance of his several causes, a most learned and perfect answer, the which as yet was never refelled, nor never can be, I am sure. Now consider the dealing of Doctor Harding in his Rejoinder, which besides it is made but to one only article of seven and twenty, it hath in a hundred places omitted much, so as in truth not half the Reply is entirely repeated and answered. In the defence of the Apology he hath indeed abridged Doctor Hardings Confutation, being of such length and bigness as was not convenient wholly to be printed with the defence. But let them, if they can show some argument dissembled or passed over in silence, in all that which in the impression is omitted. Which forsomuch as they cannot, it is no matter, though many legions of such idle words, as he hath filled that book withal, were suppressed and drowned. And I pray you, how hath D. Harding behaved him-self in his detection? Hath he done, as you accuse M. Jewel for not doing? Nothing less. Then why should M. Jewell be accounted more worthy of blame, then D. Harding, having made ⟨p. 41⟩no other fault, then that wherein D. Harding hath much more offended then he?
The same practise he obiecteth also to Master Doctor Iewell, 1the late worthie Bishop of Sarisburie of blessed memorie, whoe yet I am persuaded hath dealt as faithfullie and sincerelie with Doctor Harding, as anie aduersarie hath euer done with another. In his Replie he hath printed D. Hardings wholl booke, omitting nothing from the beginning to the end, and made to all that he alledged for maintenance of his seuerall causes, a moste learned and perfect answere, the which as yet was neuer refelled, nor neuer can be, I am sure. Now consider the dealing of Doctor Harding in his Reioynder, which besides it is made but to one onelie article of seauen and twentie, it hath in a hundred places omitted much, so as in truth not halfe the Replie is intirely repeated and answered. In the defense of the Apologie he hath indeede abridged Doctor Hardings Confutation, being of such length and bignes as was not conuenient wholly to be printed with the defense. But let them, if they can shew some argument dissembled or passed ouer in silence, in all that which in the impression is omitted. Which forsomuch as they cannot, it is no matter, though manie legions of such idle words, as he hath filled that booke withal, were suppressed and drowned. And I praie you, how hath D. Harding behaued him-selfe in his detection? Hath he done, as you accufe M. Iewel for not doeing? Nothing les. Then why should M. Iewell be accounted more worthie of blame, then D. Harding, hauing made
