§ 10. But he saith, I injuriously charge him with calling Alexander a bold faced man, when Atticus was the first Author of that word.
Answ. Atticus mentioned Alexander's confident, true and necessary Counsel; Cyril contradicting it, calls the man, A man of a confident face or mouth. If another Bishop said the first words before him, do I wrong him in saying he said the second? O tender men! His urging the keeping up the names of such as Nectarius and Arsacius, and casting out Chrysostomus, is so like our Canons about Readers and Nonconformists, and our Canoneers descriptions of their Country Parsons, and the Puritans▪ that I wonder not that you defend him.
