3 John1:10

Verſe 10. Prating againſt us] One would wonder what he could prate againſt S. Iohn, and yet he did, and that maliciouſly. True it is, he did but trifle and play the fool (as the Greek word ſignifies) in that he prated: but he ſhewed his malice nevertheleſſe. So do the Jeſuites, as in many other their practices, ſo in this, that in their writings againſt us, they confirm that with glorious words and arguments, which weſtick not at; to make the world believe, that we deny all that which they ſo buſily, and ſo bravely prove, and ſo to make us odious: Whereas they leave the main matter in controverſie utterly unproved, thinking to carry it away with out-facing and great words.
