Likewise he saith again unto Pope Eugenius,1 A te tamen Mosiste, vel potiùs Mors ista non coepit? utinam in te desinat. Vides omnem Ecclesiasticum zelum feruere sola pro Dignitate tuenda?2 Honori totum datur: Sanctitati nihil, vel parum. Si, causa requirente, paulò submissiùs agere, ac socialiùs te habere teniaveris, Absit, inquiunt: Non decet: Tempori non congruit: Maiestati non conuenit: Quam geras personam attendito: But ye will say, this Manner, or rather, this Death, began not of you: Would God it might end in you. Do ye not see, that all your Ecclesiastical zeal, and care standeth only in maintenance of Honour? Upon Honour all together is bestowed: upon Holiness, either nothing, or very little. If, upon occasion, ye would somewhat submit your self, and deal familiarly, O, do not so, say they: It is not meet: It is not agreeable to the time: It is not convenient for your Majesty: Consider well, what state ye bear. Such good Lessons ye have, where with to nurture, and to train the Pope. And if he happen of him self to be a fool, by such schooling ye are able to make him mad.
