Neither is it harder for day-light men, to see such treatises, though thrust by their command into dark corners, then it is to open their mouths for to ask after them, and then their eyes to look on them. Howsoever, if this be a sufficient answer, then what shall become of many little books for instruction, and help, dispersed by good men among the Papists, where public authority doeth make them to keep them selves in a little compass, & to creep in the dark, for fear of being apprehended by the inquisitors day-light walkers? Mr. Bradshaw was made for accurate, short, & mere logical fashion of writing. So much appeareth out ⟨p. 151⟩of other treatises of his: as that of Justification. For to have drawn forth him unto large wordy discourses, it had been as hard, as to confine wordy men, unto the accurateness of mere logical dealing.
Neyther is it harder for day-light men, to see suche treatises, though thrust by their commaund into dark corners, then it is to open their mouthes for to aske after them, and then their eyes to looke on them.

3. Because the learning of this argument was derided by a Bishop, the Repl. doubted not to equal Mr. Bradshaw, for his skill in framing of an argument, unto any of the Bishops. To which the Rej. answereth, that this is no more praise to him, than it is for a Carpenters boy, to drive a pin as well as his Master. Which might be admitted for true, if there be any Bishop, that may in this kind of learning be Magister ejus. Howsoever, it is not to the purpose, except the Master carpenter, may deride his boy for driving a pin, which is as well driven as he himself can drive any.
