You are much troubled with the chest of the Popes bosom, wherein be is thought to have all laws. At this you scoff four or five times in your Apology, meddling with a matter, that you understand not. For it is a Lawyers phrase. Who presupposeth the Prince of every common weal to know the law of the same, no less then if it were written in his breast. And therefore when he maketh a new law, he repealeth the former law, whereunto the latter is contrary.
