BUT as Dr. Ridley required the rehearsal of the places, and to read the very words of the doctors, saying, that perhaps those which the bishop rehearsed, being proposed in other terms in the doctors, would admit a contrary meaning and interpretation: but in that book out of which the bishop rehearsed them, was none of the doctors, but only some sentences drawn out of the doctors by some studious man: he could not recite the very words of the doctors.

CYRIL also in another place proving to the Jews that Christ was come, useth this reason, Altars are erected in Christ's name in Britain, and in far countries: Ergo, Christ is come. But we may use the contrary of that reason; Altars are plucked down in Britain: Ergo, Christ is not come. A good argument a contrariis. I will stand to it in the schools by and with any man. You see what a good argument this your doctrine maketh for the •ews, to prove that Christ is not come.
