It was a great part off Alexander's commendation / that 1he was fierce in fight / and gentle in victory. The D. is clean contrary. For a lam is not so meek / and so tame as he is in his disputation / and reasoning: but in his triumphs / although false / and imagined / there is nothing more fierce. To bear out all this storm off words / profane Philosopher, and drunken poet, &c. There is not so much as one Philosopher / profane / or divine / one Poet / sober / or drunken / to improve that the gentiles, did never take oxen, serpents, fire, water, &c, to be god: or, that they toke the Images before which they fell, for wood, stone, &c. If I ⟨p. CLXXXV⟩should allege all the places out off them / which might be brought to the confirmation off that / which I set down: it were much more easier to find a beginning / then an end. Howbeit / because off the shameful / and foreheadles deali• ge off the D. off an infinite number / I will allege one / or two: Whereby it may appear / what opinion was off these things / amongest the gentiles.

To beare oute all this storme off wordes / prophane Philosopher, and druncken poete, &c. There is not so muche as one Philosopher / prophane / or diuine / one Poete / sober / or druncken / to improue that the gentils, did neuer take oxen, serpentes, fire, vvater, &c, to be god: or, that they toke the Images before vvhiche they fell, for vvood, stone, &c. Yff I ⟨p. CLXXXV⟩shoulde alledge all the places owte off them / which mighte be browghte to the confirmacion off that / whiche I set downe: yt were muche more easier to fynde a begynninge / then an ende. Howbeit / because off the shamefull / and foreheadles deali• ge off the D. off an infinite number / I will alledge one / or two: Wherby it maie appeare / what opinion was off these thinges / amongeste the gentils.
