As for the late School Doctors, your selves weigh them as little, as no man less. You say in your common talks, Bernardus nō vidit omnia: You have controlled your Doctor of all Doctors. Peter Lombard, with this common Caveat in the Margin, Hic Magister non tenetur: Here our Doctor is no Doctor. You your self M. Harding,1 in this your very Book against our Apology sate. that your Doctor Gratian was deceived, and in stead of Anacletus alleged Calixtus. You your self again say, If in a secrete point of learning S. Augustine, or S. Cyprian teach singularly, We follow them not: much less do we bind our selves to believe, what soever •lbertus Pigghius hath written. And again, We bind our selves neither to the words of Sylvester, nor of Pighius. And again. we take not upon us to defend all that the Canonists, or Schoolmen say, or write. And an other of your company sayeth, that your Doctor Gratian hath published great untruths,2 & wilfully falsified the General Council. Nomen Univer salis, saith he, assutum est à Gratiano. Thus, M. Harding, ye use your Doctors, even as the Merchant useth his Counters: sometime to stand for an hundred pound, sometime for a penny.
As for the late Schole Doctours, your selues weigh them as litle, as noman lesse. You say in youre common talkes, Bernardus nō vidit omnia: You haue controlled your Doctour of al Doctours. Peter Lombard, with this common Caueat in the Margine, Hic Magister non tenetur: Here our Doctour is no Doctour. You your selfe M. Hardinge,1 in this youre very Booke against our Apologie sate. that your Doctor Gratian was deceiued, and in stéede of Anacletus alleged Calixtus. You youre selfe againe saie, If in a secrete pointe of learninge S. Augustine, or S. Cyprian teache singularely, Wee folowe them not: mutche lesse do wee binde our selues to beeue, what soeuer •lbertus Pigghius hath written. And againe, VVee binde our selues neither to the woordes of Syluester, nor of Pighius. And againe. wee take not vpon vs to defende al that the Canonistes, or Scholemen saie, or write. And an other of your companie saieth, that your Doctour Gratian hath published great vntruthes,
