This is a notorious vntrueth For neither did he nor D. Perne euer heare but of this Libeller that she spake any such vvordes of him But in trueth asvvell for the immodestie of her tongue wherein she excelleth beyond the seemelinesse of an honest woman as also for her vnwomanly and skittish gadding vp down to Lambehith frō thence in cōpany vnfit for her without her owne husband he threatned to send her to Bridewell if she reformed not the same which he meaneth to performe if she continue her lightnesse And yet Dame Lawson so notorious for the vilenesse of her tongue other vnwomanly behauiour is one of Martins canonized Saints Quia quod volumus sanctum est as Augustine said of their predecessors the Donatists It is likewise an vntruth which is reported in that page of her words spokē by M.
