§ 3. Because (knowing the effect of the old unhealed Cause) I foresee that such men will go near to Hereticate me also when I am dead, for condemning Hereticating Incendiaries in the Nestorian, Eutychian, and Monothelite quarrels; I will recite the words of Binnius himself, who saith the same that I have said from the beginning, (though I justify him not from self-contradiction.)
