The. i. chapyter
MAyster […] hath in thys hys poysened treatice agaynst Crystes hole some so […] xxxii. leuys. In ye first. xiiii. wherof he expowneth vs the later parte of the syxte chapyter of saynt […]. And incidently by the way, the man maketh as though he answered the reasons whiche I made in my letter, agaynste the pestylent treatice that fryth made fyrst agaynst the blessed sacramēt. And in the same. xiiii. leuys also, he bryngeth forth two thynges for specyall notable, wherin he sayth I haue openly cōtraryed myn […] wrytynge.
I wyll good reader peruse the re manaūt of hys booke after this fyrst part answered. In whyche conteynyng these thre thynges that I haue […] you / the fyrst hath he so han desed, yt all were there not (as there are in dede) dyuerse false […] interfaced therin, yet it were for the mater of very sleyght effecte. For in his exposiciō he nothyng toucheth nor cometh nere to the thyng wherin the poynt of all the mater standeth.
The secund point hath he so well treated in hys argumentacyon, that the reasons whyche I laye agaynste Frith, mayster Masker fyrst falsely reherseth, and after so folyshely soyleth, that he leueth thē more stronger agaynst hym whan he hath done, […] he fownde them whan he bygan.
And as for the thyrde poynt concernynge hys notable notys of suche thynges as he sayeth to myne ouersyghte, them he so garnessheth & setteth out so semely to the show, that I wolde no man sholde euer after this daye truste any worde that I shall wryte, but yf ye se mayster […] pfaynesy proued therin, eyther so folyshe as no man shold trust his wyt, or so false that no man shold trust his trouth. Let vs therfore now come to the fyrste point, that is to wytte hys exposicyon.
