And least any man should say I confute mine own shadow / I must let him understand that there is a pamphlet in Latin / which is called the book of the doctors / which goeth from hand to hand / and especially (so far as they could bring to pass) to those only that they thought to favour that opinion / in the which book / all these answers unto the place of the Ephesians are contained / and almost all that which is comprehended in this defence of archbishops and archdeacons / with other things also which are found in this book of M. Doctors: and therefore it is very likely / that he having no other way to vent his rhapsodies and rakings together / thought he would bring them to light after this sort / but how much better had it been / that this misshapen thing had had the mothers womb for the grave / or being brought out / had been hidden as the former is / in some bench hole or dark place / where it should never have seen any light / nor no mans eye should ever have looked of it? And thus all these clouds being scattered by the sun of truth / you see that the place to the Ephesians / standeth strong against the archbishop and archdeacon.
