The Apology. Par. 5. Cap. 11. Divi. •. The Canonists this date use to say of the Pope, that for so much as he is Lord of all benefices, though he sell Bishoprics, Monasteries, Benefices, and Spiritual promotions for money, yet he cannot commit Simony, though he would never so fain.
The Apologie. Par. 5. Cap. 11. Diui. •. The Canonistes this date vse to saie of the Pope, that for so mutche as he is Lorde of al benefices, though he sel Bishoprikes, Monasteries, Benefices, and Spiritual promotions for monie, yet he cannot committe Simonie, though he would neuer so faine.
M. Harding. 15. Untruth. Whereas it is written in Summa Angelica, In Curia Romana, titulus De Simonia non habet locum, The self same Sum useth this distinction, saieinge, Verum est in ijs, quae sunt Simoniaca de Jure positivo solùm: sed non in ijs, quae sunt Simoniaca de lure Divino. Whereby he meaneth, that concerning Simony, which properly is so called, the Pope is no less subject thereto, then any other man. Thus have you shamefully belied Summa Angelica.
M. Hardinge. 15. Vntruthe. VVhereas it is written in Summa Angelica, In Curia Romana, titulus De Simonia non habet locum, The selfe same Summe vseth this distinction, saieinge, Verum est in ijs, quae sunt Simoniaca de Iure positiuo solùm: sed non in ijs, quae sunt Simoniaca de lure Diuino. VVhereby he meaneth, that concerninge Simonie, whiche properly is so called, the Pope is no lesse subiecte thereto, then any other man. Thus haue you shamefully belied Summa Angelica.
The Reply. Hereby it appeareth, that M. Harding understandeth not his own Summa. For by Simonia de Jure positivo, is meant the sale of Bishoprics, and Benefices, &c. which, as this Summa saith, the Pope may freely sell for money, without impeachment of any manner of Simony. For better proof whereof Theodoricus saithe, Papa non potest committere Simoniam. Sic tenent Juristae. Quia Simonia excusatur per Authoritatem Papae. De Schismate inter Urban. & Clemen. lib. 2. cap. 32. An other saithe: Papa non committit Simoniam recipiendo pecunim pro collation Beneficiorum […] shamefully we belie Summa gelica.
