If, however, they deny that they so say, and so teach, my object is attained.  Yet I see that this denial is no easy matter, because of our having many witnesses who heard these things said.  But let bygones be bygones; let them only be sound now.  If they persist in the same old error I must proclaim your calamity even to other Churches, and get letters written to you from more bishops.  In my efforts to break down this huge mass of impiety now gradually and secretly growing, I shall either effect something towards the object I have in view; or at least my present testimony will clear me of guilt in the judgment day.
