The Hebrews do derive the name of time of a verb / which signifieth to corrupt / because in deed it doth corrupt all / and as the times are / so are men which live in them / that even very good men carry the note of the infection of the times / wherein they live / and the stream of the corruption thereof / being so vehement and forcible / doth not only drive before it / light things / but it cateth also and weareth the very hard and stony rocks / and therefore there is not to be looked for / such sincerity at Jerome his hand / which we found in S. Cyprian / considering that he lived some ages after Cyprian / what time satan had a great deal more darkened the clear light of the sun of the gospel / then it was in S. Cyprian's time. For as those that came nearest unto the apostles times / because they were nearest the light ▪ did see best / so those that were further of from these lights / had / until the time of the manifestation of the son of perdition their heavens more dark and cloudy / and consequently did see more dimly / which is diligently to be observed of the reader / both the better to understand the state of this question / and all other controversies which lie between us and the papists.

The Hebrues doe deriue the name of time of a verbe / whych signifyeth to corrupt / because in dede it doth corrupt all / and as the times are / so are mē which liue in them / that euen very good men carye the note of the infection of the times / wherin they liue / and the streame of the corruption therof / being so vehemēt and forcible / doth not only driue before it / light things / but it cateth also and weareth the very hard and stony rockes / and therfore there is not to be loked for / such sinceritie at Ierome his hand / whych we found in S. Cyprian / considering that he liued some ages after Cyprian / what time sathan had a great deale more darkned the cleare light of the sonne of the gospell / then it was in S. Cyprians time. For as those that came nearest vnto the apostles times / because they were nearest the light ▪ did see best / so those that were further of from these lightes / had / vntill the time of the manifestation of the sonne of perdition their heauens more darke and cloudy / and consequētly did see more dimly / whych is diligently to be obserued of the reader / bothe the better to vnderstand the state of thys question / and all other controuersies whych lie betweene vs and the papistes.
