The Apologie, Cap. 16. Diuision. 1.
As touching the Tyranny of the Bishops of Rome, and their Barbarous Persian-like Pride, to leave out others, whom perchance they reckon for enemies, because they freely, & liberally find fault with their vices, the same men, which have lead their life at Rome in the Holy City, in the face of the most Holy Father, who also were able to see all their secretes, and at no time departed from the Catholic Faith, as for example. Laurentius Valla, Marsilius Patavinus, Francis Petrarch, Hierome Savonarola, Abbot Joakim, Baptiste of Mantua, and before all these, Bernard the Abbot, have many a time and much complained of it, giving the world also sometime to understand, that the Bishop of Rome him self (by your leave) is very Antichrist. Whether they spake it truly, or falsely, let that go: sure I am, they spake it plainly. Neither can any man allege, that those Authors were Luther's, or Zuinglius Scholars: for they lived not only certain years, but also certain ages ere ever Luther, or Zuinglius names were heard of.
