And least any man should say I confute my owne shadow, I must let him to vnderstand that there is a Pamphlet in Latin, which is called the (*) 1.1 boke of the Doctors, which goeth from hande to hande and especially (so far as they could bring to passe) to those only that they thought to fauour that opinion, in the which booke, all these answeres vnto the place of the Ephesians are conteyned, and almost all that which is comprehended in this defense of Archbyshops and Archdeacons, wyth other things also which are founde in this booke of M. Doctors: and therefore it is very likely that he hauing no other way to vent his rapsodies, and rackings togither, thought he would bring them to light after this sort. But how much better had it bene that this mishapen thing had had the mo∣thers wombe for the graue, or being brought out had bene hidden as the former is, in some bench∣hole or darke place, where it shoulde neuer haue seene any light, nor no mans eye should euer haue loked of it?
It had bene much for your credite if you had set downe the wordes of that booke the which you and your fautors in derision cal the booke of Doctors. Which you haue only named and not cōfuted. The booke dare abide the light, and the Author also, but so dare not you. To the rest of your woordes my answere is onely this, that you be∣wray your spirite: for further proofe hereof I referre the reader to the third Chapter of S. Iames, from the tenth verse to the end.
