But what if there be no such book as this is / which you name (when you say in his book entitled / compendiariū religionis christianae) it is like you know not him / nor what he saith / when you can not tell so much as his name. Only because Polidore writeth that Clement saith this / in a certain short & summary book of christian religion / you have set down that he writeth thus in a book entitled compendiarium christianae religionis / where there is no such title / neither in the councils where his Epistles are / neither yet in all other his works.

But what if there be no such booke as thys is / which you name (when you say in hys booke intituled / compendiariū religionis christianae) it is like you know not him / nor what he sayth / when you can not tell so much as his name. Only because Polidore wryteth that Clement sayth this / in a certayne short & summary booke of christian relygion / you haue set downe that he wryteth thus in a booke intituled compendiarium christianae religionis / where there is no such title / neyther in the councels where hys Epistles are / neyther yet in all other hys works.

Thought you to disguise him with this new name of the book / that he should not be known? •or meant you to occupy your answerer in seeking of a book / which because he should never find / he should never answer. The place which Polidore meaneth / is in the first epistle which he writeth unto James / the brother of the Lord / which is as the rest are both ridiculous in the manner of writing / & in the matter oftener times wicked & blasphemous / which I speak to this end / that the reader through the commendation that M. Doctor hath given to this Clement / in taking him as one of his witnesses in so great a matter / be not abused.

Thought you to disguise hym with thys new name of the booke / that hee shoulde not be knowne? •or ment you to occupy your answerer in seeking of a booke / which because he shoulde neuer fynde / he should neuer answer. The place which Polidore meaneth / is in the first epistle which he wryteth vnto Iames / the brother of the Lord / which is as the rest are both rediculous in the manner of wryting / & in the matter oftner tymes wycked & blasphemous / which I speake to thys ende / that the reader through the commendation that M. Doctor hath geuen to thys Clement / in taking hym as one of hys wytnesses in so great a matter / be not abused.
