Againe, 1Diabolus ita validè in quibusdam Ecclesiae necessarijs Membris dents figit, ut nulli sit dubium, quin, nisi unanimiter, favente Domino, cunctorum provida Pastorum turba concurrat, omne, quod absit, citiùs ovile dilaniet: The Devil so strongly fasteneth his Teeth in the necessary Members of the Church, that, onlesse by God's Grace, the provident company of all Bishops join together, there is no doubt, but he will soon destroy the whole flock: which God forbid. And again he compareth the Pride of this name with the Pride of Antichrist: and saith, that the one shall work the Confusion of the Church, 2no less, then the other. Thus he saith, Nunquid non, cùm see Antichristus veniens Deum dixerit, 3frivolum vald• erit? Sed ramen nimis perniciosum. Si quantitatem vocis attendimus, Duae sunt Syllabae: si pondus iniquitatis, Universa pernicies: When Antichrist shall come, and call him self God, shall it not be a very trifle? Yet shall it be marvellous hurtful (to the Church). If ye weigh the quantity of the word, it standeth in two Syllables: If ye consider the weight of the wickedness, it is an Universal destruction. These are no Lies, as it liketh you to call them, M. Harding: They are very plain words: it is the undoubted meaning of S. Gregory. And therefore he calleth this claim of Universal Power, a Superstitio••s, a Profane, an Ungodly, & a Wicked title: a name of Hypocrisy: & a name of Blasphemy.

And againe he compareth the Pride of this name with the Pride of Antichriste: and saithe, that the one shal woorke the Confusion of the Churche,
