To sit in Moses Chair, was, truly, and rightly to instruct the people, and to open unto them the Law of Moses.1 S. Augustine saithe, Hoc ipsum, quòd bona dicebant, & ea, quae dicebant, utiliter audiebantur, & fiebant, non erat ipsorum. Cathedram enim, inquit, Mosi sedent: That they spake good things unto the people, and that the things, that they said, were profitable to the hearers, and doers of the same, it was not of them selves. For Christ saith, They sit upon Moses Chair. Again he saith, Sedendo super Cathedram Mosis, legem Dei docent. 2Ergo per illos Deus docet. Sua verò illi si velint docere, nolite audire: nolite facere. Certè enim tales sua quaerunt, non quae Jesu Christi: Sittinge upon Moses Chair, they teach the Law of God: Therefore it is God, that teacheth by the mean of them. But if they will teach you things of their own, then hear them not: then do it not. For certainly such men seek their own: and not the things, that pertain to Christ Jesus. Ye see therefore, M. Harding, we are bound to hear the Pope, and his Cardinals, and other like Scribes, and Pharisees, not absolutely, or without exception, what so ever they list to say: but only so long, as they teach the Law of God. Further then that, S. Augustine saith, We may neither hear them, nor follow their Counsel.
To sitte in Moses Chaire, was, truely, and rightly to instructe the people, and to open vnto them the Lawe of Moses.1 S. Augustine saithe, Hoc ipsum, quòd bona dicebant, & ea, quae dicebant, vtiliter audiebantur, & fiebant, non erat ipsorum. Cathedram enim, inquit, Mosi sedent: That they spake good thinges vnto the people, and that the thinges, that they saide, were profitable to the hearers, and dooers of the same, it was not of them selues. For Christe saithe, They sitte vpon Moses Chaire. Againe he saithe, Sedendo super Cathedram Mosis, legem Dei docent. 2Ergo per illos Deus docet. Sua verò illi si velint docere, nolite audire: nolite facere. Certè enim tales sua quaerunt, non quae Iesu Christi: Sittinge vpon Moses Chaire, they teache the Lawe of God: Therefore it is God, that teacheth by the meane of them. But if they wil teache you thinges of their owne, then heare them not: then doo it not. For certainely sutche menne seeke their owne: and not the thinges, that perteine to Christe Jesus. Ye sée therefore, M. Hardinge, wée are bounde to heare the Pope, and his Cardinalles, and other like Scribes, and Phariseis, not absolutely, or without exception, what so euer they liste to saie: but onely so longe, as they teache the Lavve of God. Further then that, S. Augustine saithe, VVee maie neither heare them, nor folovve theire Counsel.
