But, Good God, what manner of fellows be these, which blame us for disagreeing? And do all they them selves, ween you, agree well together? is every one of them fully resolved, what to follow? Have there been no strives, no quarrels, no debates amongst them selves at no time? Why then do the Scotists & the Thomists about that they call Meritum Congrui, & Meritū Condigni, no better agree together? Why agree they no better among them selves concerning Original Sin in the Blessed Virgin: Concerning a Solemn Vow, and a Single Vow? Why say their Canonists that Auricular Confession is appointed by the positive Law of man: and their Schoolmen contrariwise, that it is appointed by the Law of ⟨p. 342⟩God? Why doth Albertus Pius dissent from Caietanus? Why doth Thomas dissent from Lombardus, Scotus from Thomas, Occamus from Scotus, Alliacensis from Occamus? And why do their Nominals disagree from their Reals? And yet say I nothing of so many diversities of Friars and Monks: how some of them put a great Holiness in eating of Fish, and some in eating of Herbs: some in wearing of shoes, and some in wearing of Sandals: some in going in a Linen garment, and some in woollen: some of them called white, some black: some being shaven broad, and some narrow: some stalking upon Pattens, some going barefooted: some girt, and some ungirte. They ought ywis to remember, there be some of their own company, which say, that the Body of Christ is in his Supper Naturally: Contrary other some of the self same company deny it utterly. Again, that there be others of them, which say, the Body of Christ in the Holy Communion is rent and torn with teethe: & some again, that deny the same. Somme also of them there be, which write, that the Body of Christ in the Sacrament is quantum, that is to say, hath his perfect quantity in the Sacrament: Somme others again say, nay. That there be others of them, which say, Christ did Consecrate with a certain Divine Power: some, that he did the same with his Blessing: some again that say, he did it with uttering Five Solemn chosen words: and some, with rehearsing the same words afterward again.
