That Pipinus so much abased him self to Pope Stevin, it is no marvel. The Proverb is common, One hand claweth an other. The Pope was advanced by Pippin: and Pippin was likewise advanced by the Pope. But hereof we have spoken before.

Ye allege Matthaeus Hieromonachus, to prove a Fable by a Fable. If ye would das•e your Readers eyes, for that ye allege his words in Greek, understand you, that his peevish Greek was taken out of your peevish Latin. And yet is the same Greek so fond, & so full of folly, that ye were ashamed truly to turn it into English. For thus it standeth, [Greek or Hebrew]: That is, In the worship and fear of my Lord Blessed Peter. Ye durst not, to make the Emperor Constantine so rude, to say, that Peter was his Lord: and therefore ye thought it better, to corrupt, and alter your Authors words. Yet such vain Fables, and Trifles must ye bring in, to put us, as ye say, quite out of doubt.
