Brusierd. Where ye marvel (with what mind, I can not tell) that I being a learned man (as you say) am not delivered yet from the confuse dungeon of heresy, through the help of the gospel: much more do you that are far better learned then I, cause me to marvel at your foolish admiration. Neither can I choose but laugh at you, as one being rapt to the third heaven of such high mysteries, and yet see not those things which be done here in the lower parts of terrene Philosophy, for what a ridiculous thing is it, for a man to look so long upon the Sun, that he can see nothing else but the Sun, nor can not tell whither to turn him? Moreover,1 what student is there in all Cambridge, be he never so young, that knoweth not, that the argument of authority brought out negatively, hath no force?
