And whereas the Council saith, Apostoli docuerunt, The Apostles taught, The same Gloss saith, Apostoli docuerunt exemplo: non Institutione, vel Constitutione: The Apostles taught it by their Example: but not by appointment, nor by commandment. Perhaps M. Harding will say, The Apostles Example is sufficient. 1Thereto I will answer, as Clemens Alexandrinus sometime answered certain of the Old Heretics in like case: Dicunt gloriosi isti jactactores, see imitari Dominum, qui Uxorem nō duxit. Illis dicit Scriptura, Deus Superbis resistit: Humilibus autē dat Gratiam: These glorious Braggers say, they will follow the Example of our Lord, y• Married no Wife. Unto them the Scripture saith, God withstandeth the Proud: and giveth Grace unto the humble. And to like purpose S. Ambrose saith, ⟨p. 186⟩Praeceptum quidem Apostolus non habuit: at habuit Exemplum. In deed the Apostle S. Paul had no Commandment to give of Virginity: but Example he had.
And whereas the Councel saithe, Apostoli docuerunt, The Apostles taught, The same Glose saithe, Apostoli docuerunt exemplo: non Institutione, vel Constitutione: The Apostles taught it by theire Example: but not by appointemene, nor by commaundemente. Perhaps M. Hardinge wil saie, The Apostles Example is sufficiente. 1Thereto I wil answeare, as Clemens Alexandrinus sommetime answeared certaine of the Olde Heretiques in like case: Dicunt gloriosi isti iactactores, se imitari Dominum, qui Vxorem nō duxit. Illis dicit Scriptura, Deus Superbis resistit: Humilibus autē dat Gratiam: These glorious Braggers saie, they wil folow the Example of our Lord, y• Married no VVife. Vnto them the Scripture saith, God withstandeth the Prowd: and geueth Grace vnto the humble. And to like pourpose S. Ambrose saith, ⟨p. 186⟩Praeceptum quidem Apostolus non habuit: at habuit Exemplum. In deede the Apostle S. Paule had no Commaundemente to geeue of Virginitie: but Example he had.
