If you may purge your self in handling of this author by confession of your ignorance, you must obtain it by great favour of them that will so accept it. For else in this one author is affirmed by you many great errors, with wilful depravation of the authors mind, to give weapons to them that be enemies to the truth, and to the subversion of the catholic faith. And no less have you done in Theodoretus next following, because you would handle them both indifferently, and do no more Injury to the one than to the other. And as for Cyprian, Ambrose, Theophilact ⟨p. 320⟩and Emissene, I have answered to them before. It is time now to hear Theodoret.
