Et cum vicesima prima die mensis pascha Dominicum celebrare refugiunt, patet profecto, quod illam per omnia diem a sua sollemnitate secernunt, quam Lex maiore prae ceteris festivitate memorabilem saepenumero commendat: sicque diem paschae ordine perverso, et aliquando in secunda hebdomada totam compleant, et nunquam in hebdomadae tertiae die septimo ponant; rursumque qui a sextadecima die mensis saepedicti usque ad vicesimam secundam pascha celebrandum magis autumant, non minore utique errore, tametsi altero latere, a recto veritatis tramite divertunt, et veluti naufragia Scyllae fugientes, in Charybdis voraginem submergendi decidunt.
And whereas they refuse to keep the Lords Easter on the 21st day of the month, it is surely plain that they exclude utterly from their solemnity that day which the Law oftentimes commendeth to be had in memory above all other with a greater festival: and thus they would fix their Easter day after a perverse order, bringing it to an end sometimes wholly in the second week, and never place it in the 7th day of the third week; and again, they which think Easter should rather be kept from the 16th day of the oftnamed month to the 22nd day, rove from the straight path of truth in an error no way less, albeit on the other side, and as it were shunning shipwreck on Scylla fall to be drowned into the whirlpool of Charybdis.
