The answer.

Against the consent of all copies of the Gréeke, against the greatest number of ancient copies of your old translator, against the generall consent of the enterpretors, both Grecians, and La∣tinists, and especially against the manifest truth appearing in the circumstances of the text it selfe, you follow those copies, which you know to be corrupt, and al to vpholde a lie, and a fable. You enforce Augustine to giue you credit against his wil, know∣ing that that which you alledge, is but the fault of the printer, or writer, & not his minde. For his long doubtful disputation, whe∣ther Iohn were dead, or no, doth plainly declare, that he read not as you haue set it downe. For then he would neuer haue made doubt of that which Christ so plainelie spake. And againe, how can your reading stand with that, which Iohn saith after. Christ said not that he should not die.
