What need you to speak so precisely, and so nicely of your Causes Spiritual, M. Harding? Ye know, that your Pope hath claimed, and yet claimeth his Sovereignty, not only in Spiritual Causes, but also in Temporal: as it shall appear. He will say, ye are an il Proctor, and do him wrong, and go about to abridge his right, that will so lightly exclude that thing, that he so greedily will have included.

He wil saie, ye are an il Proctoure, and doo him wronge, and goe aboute to abridge his right, that wil so lightly exclude that thinge, that he so gréedily wil haue included.
You say, The Pope can have no Superior in Spiritual Causes. And yet by the Judgement of sundry your Doctors, even in Causes Spiritual, the Council is Superior to the Pope, 1and may summon him: and Judge him: and give Sentence against him: and depose him: As hereafter it shall be declared more at large. Thus is it noted of purpose upon your own Decrees: Cùm agitur de Fide, tunc Synodus Maior est quàm Papa: When the case is moved in a matter of Faith, (that is to say, in a cause Spiritual) then is the Council greater then y Pope.
