First, as we, What emboldeneth thee that thou answerest? As if he had said, I thought I should have silenced thee before this time, or that thou wouldest have put silence upon thy self; I wonder who, or what it is, that sets thee on to speak still; doest thou think by thy renewed on sets to weary me, and make me yield at last? Hast thou a hope to prevail upon me by thy importunity, when thou canst not by thy reason? Or hast thou further strength of reason, fresh arguments to produce in confirmation of thine opinion?
