The effect hereof, besides other ordinary idle talk, standeth in two points. First, M. Harding saith, The Pope, though he do nothing him self in his own Person, yet he may sufficiently feed the Flock of Christ, and Bind, & Loose, and discharge all duties by his Deputies, and Underuicars, that is to say, by his Cardinals, and Bishops, which are as careful, and zealous for their offices, and tender their charge, as much, as he. This ground, I trow, is not false: and therefore, what so ever M. Harding shall build thereon, it can never fail. Notwithstanding, I do not remember, that either Christ, or his Apostles ever used to do y• like. One said sommetime,1 Impudens est Imperator, qui, cùm alienis oculis omnia ei agenda sint, postulat sibi aliorum Capita, & Fortunas comity: He is a shameless Captain, that, whereas he must guide all things by the eyes of others, will require other mennes lives, ad goodes to be committed to his hands.
The effecte hereof, besides other ordinarie idle talke, standeth in twoo pointes. Firste, M. Harding saithe, The Pope, though he doo nothing him selfe in his owne Personne, yet he maye sufficiently féede the Flocke of Christe, and Binde, & Loose, and discharge al dewties by his Deputies, and Vnderuicars, that is to saye, by his Cardinalles, and Bishoppes, whiche are as careful, and zelous for their offices, and tender theire charge, as mutch, as he. This ground, I trow, is not false: and therefore, what so euer M. Harding shal builde thereon, it can neuer faile. Notwithstanding, I doo not remember, that either Christe, or his Apostles euer vsed to doo y• like. One saide sommetime,1 Impudens est Imperator, qui, cùm alienis oculis omnia ei agenda sint, postulat sibi aliorum Capita, & Fortunas cōmitti: He is a shamelesse Captaine, that, whereas he must guide al thinges by the eies of others, wil require other mennes liues, ad goodes to be committed to his handes.
