First of all,1 Baldus of Perusium saith, Papa est Doctor utriusque Juris, Authoritate, non Scientia: The Pope is Doctor of both Laws (as well Civil, as Canon) by Authority, but not by knowledge. Here we find, how so ever the Pope be stored of Learning, yet at the least he is a Doctor by Authority.
Firste of al,1 Baldus of Perusium saithe, Papa est Doctor vtriusque Iuris, Authoritate, non Scientia: The Pope is Doctour of bothe Lawes (as wel Ciuile, as Canon) by Authoritie, but not by knowledge. Here wee finde, howe so euer the Pope be stoared of Learninge, yet at the leaste he is a Doctoure by Authoritie.

Further your Gloss saith, 1Etsi totus mundus sententiaret in aliquo negotio contra Papam, tamen videtur, quo'd standum fit sententiae Papae. Jura enim omnia in Scrinio pectoris sui habere videtur. Quod ergo Papa approbat, vel reprobat, & nos approbate, vel reprobare debemus. Quisquis ergo non obedit Statutis Romanae Ecclesiae, ⟨p. 483⟩Haereticus est censendus. 2Et Sacrilegij instar esset, disputare de facto Papae: Although all the world would judge in any matter against the Pope, yet it seemeth, we ought to stand to the judgement of the Pope. For he seemeth to have all Laws in the Chest of his bosom:3 Therefore, what so ever the Pope either alloweth, or disalloweth, we are bound likewise to allow, or disallow the same. And who so ever is not obedient to the Laws of the Church of Rome, must be deemed an Heretic. And it were as great sin as Church robbing, to reason of any of the Popes doings.
