Thus far they disagree from the original of Gods word. But they use commonly to say, the Church was then in her minority ⟨image 41⟩and infancy: afterward, she was better informed. So when Christ, and the Apostles, and the Doctors please them, they shall rule the matters, they shall be holy Doctors, and holy Fathers: if not, they shall not be patterns to follow, but children & infants. They use them as merchants use their counters: for that counter, which now standeth for a pound, anon after shall be removed and made a simple halfpenny. Yet notwithstanding, they cry Fathers, Doctors, Church: and yet indeed do all things contrary to the Church of Christ, contrary to the Doctors, and fathers of the Church.

Two principal things there be, that seem to bear up the whole brunt of the religion, that hath been in the world of late time: the one is the Mass, and things thereunto belonging: the other is the authority of the Pope. These two I will briefly compare to the first original: only running over certain special branches of them both, in as few words as I can devise.
