Howe is it euidente / by what worde / or by what sentence? yff the autoritie off the sentence fall: iff it consistinge vppon two partes / haue neuer a one trewe: yff in that verie poincte for whiche yt is alledged / yt is moste false: where ys your Howe so euer? yow are a daūgerous aduersarie to deale withe al / for whether the profes yowt bringe be trewe / or whether they be false: they fall still vpon your syde.
