1The author saith, such answer as he made to Hilary will serve for Cyril: and indeed §1to say truth it is made after the fame sort, and hath even such an error as the other had saving it may be excused by ignorance. For where the author travaileth here to expound the word (corporally) which is a sore word in Cyril against this author, and §2therefore taketh labour to temper it with the word (Corporaliter) in S. Paul, applied to the dwelling of the divinity in Christ, and yet not content therewith, maketh further search, and would gladly have somewhat to confirm his phansy out of Cyril him self, and seeketh in Cyril where it is not to be found, and seeketh not where it is to be found. For Cyril telleth him self plainly, what he meaneth by the word (corporally) which place and this author had found, be might have spared a great many of words uttered by divination, but then the truth of that place hindereth and quaileth in manner all the book. I will at my peril bring forth Cyril's own words truly upon the seventeenth chapter of S. John.
1The author sayth, such answer as he made to Hilary will serue for Cyrill: and indeede §1to say truth it is made after the fame sort, and hath euen such an error as the other had sauing it may be excused by ignorance. For where the author trauayleth here to expound the word (corporally) which is a sore word in Cirill agaynst this author, and §2therfore taketh labour to temper it with the word (Corporaliter) in S. Paule, applied to the dwelling of the diuinity in Christ, and yet not content therwith, maketh further search, and would gladly haue somewhat to confirme his phansy out of Cirill him selfe, and seeketh in Cirill where it is not to be found, and seeketh not where it is to be found. For Cirill telleth him selfe playnly, what he meaneth by the word (corporally) which place and this author had found, be might haue spared a great many of wordes vttered by diuination, but then the truth of that place hindreth and quayleth in manner all the booke. I will at my perill bring forth Cirils owne wordes truely vpon the seuententh chapiter of S. Iohn.
