It is never a whit the better / although those you allege / 1and all the world should allow of that sentence you bring forth / under Ambroses credit. I used no contempt towards Ambrose / nether have I so much as rejected him: only that sentence as blasphemous against the government off the Apostles / I detested / and it ought to have been maintained by confutation off reasons I alleged / and not by bare authority. For if that had been enough to wipe away that place: I had a great deal more manifester against it / then you be able to allege for it. For 2of that place off Ambrose Calvin writeth thus. As for those things which are read in the commentaries off Ambrose, they are too childish he, and unworthy of Ambr. And you do but colour this matter with the names off Georgius / &c. Which what they ⟨p. CCLIX⟩say / I report me to those that have the books to see: assured notwithstanding / that if they had any thing for you / you would have made them speak.

For yf that had bene enoughe to wype awaie that place: I had a great deale more manifester againste yt / then yow be hable to alledge for yt. For 2of that place off Ambrose Caluin writeth thus. As for those thinges vvhich are redde in the cōmentaries off Ambrose, they are too childis he, and vnvvorthy of Ambr. And yow doo but coulor this matter vvith the names off Georgius / &c.
