The bishop allegeth both Eusebius and S. Jerome to prove / that none 1of those works which go in his name / are his. And although the proofs be strong which the bishop useth / being the witness of unsuspected witnesses: yet because the law / although it allow two witnesses / notwithstanding doth like better of three / I will set down here also Ireneus which was a great while before them both / and followed hard after the times of the true and uncounterfaite Clement / and therefore could best tell of him / and of his writings / & yet * he maketh 2mention but of one Epistle / which upon occasion amongst the Corinthians / he wrote to them. In deed in another place of that book / he showeth that it is very probable / that Clement also either wrote or turned the Epistle to the Hebrews. Now if that Epistle to the Corinthians / were extant / we should easily ⟨p. 89⟩set by comparing those that are now in his name with that / what a my shapen thing this is.
The bishop alledgeth both Eusebius and S. Ierome to proue / that none 1of those workes which goe in his name / are his. And although the proufes bee strong which the bishop vseth / being the witnes of vnsuspected witnesses: yet because ye law / although it allow two witnesses / notwithstanding doth like better of three / I will set downe heere also Ireneus which was a great while before them both / and followed hard after the times of the true and vncounterfaite Clement / and therefore could best tell of him / and of hys writings / & yet * he maketh 2mention but of one Epistle / which vpon occasion amongst the Corinthians / he wrote to them. In deede in another place of that booke / he sheweth that it is very probable / that Clement also eyther wrote or turned the Epistle to the Hebrewes. Now if that Epistle to the Corinthes / were extante / we shoulde easely ⟨p. 89⟩set by comparing those that are now in hys name with that / what a my shapen thing this is.
