IN your issues you make me to say what you list, and take your issue where you list, and then if xii. false varlets pass with you, what wonder is it?1 But I will join with you this issue, that neither scripture nor ancient author writeth in express words the doctrine of your faith. And to make the issue plain, & to join directly with you therein, thus I say: That no ancient and catholic author hath your doctrine in plain terms.
