For the former, none can be ignorant, what Authority among their Canonists the Glosses have: and in the place cited the rather, because he buildeth upon Augustine's own words. For the latter, I cite him only by the name of Cardinal Caietan (nor had they many Cardinals in his time for learning his equals) one of our Adversaries: that is all my magnifying of him. But mine Adversaries lips must need over-run. Yet of what repute and esteem Caietan was for both kinds of learning, as well Philosophy as Divinity; to omit the titles commonly given him in the Inscriptions of his works by those that set out some of them, stilling him ithe most eminent Doctor and professor of divinity; his Commentaries on Thomas (whence this testimony is taken) kmost luculent and even divine Commentaries; his smaller Treatises lgolden works; I may refer you to the works themselves, so many, so learned, so elaborate; and to the story of his life written by Antonius Fonseca, and set out with some of them. It is apparent, and it is enough, that a prime Cardinal of the Sea of Rome confesseth ingenuously, that the words of our Saviour, This is my body, may be figuratively taken for ought in the text, were it not that their Church, *that is, the Pope, will have them otherwise expounded.
