And to increase the uncertainty hereof, the whole weight, and judgement of Councils hangeth now evermore upon the Pope: as it may appear by these words of the Conclusion of the late Chapter at Trident: 1Salua semper in omnibus Sedis Apostolicae Authoritate: The Authority of the Apostolic See in all things evermore reserved. But Platyna saith, as it is alleged before, Acta priorum Pontificum sequentes Pontifices semper aut infringunt, aut omninò tollunt: The Popes, that follow, do evermore either break, or wholly abrogate the Decrees of the Popes, that were before.
And to encrease the vncertaintie hereof, the whole weighte, and iudgemente of Councelles hangeth nowe euermore vpon the Pope: as it maie appeare by these woordes of the Conclusion of the late Chapter at Trident: 1Salua semper in omnibus Sedis Apostolicae Authoritate: The Authoritie of the Apostolique See in al thinges euermore reserued. But Platyna saithe, as it is alleged before, Acta priorum Pontificum sequentes Pontifices semper aut infringunt, aut omninò tollunt: The Popes, that folowe, doo euermore either breake, or wholy abrogate the Decrees of the Popes, that were before.

Whether the Scripture be well alleged, or otherwise, thereof, ye say, the people may not Judge. For Christ saith, The Scholar is not above his Master. Certainly, M. Harding, the simplest of all the people, notwithstanding, by your restraint, he may not judge of the Scriptures, yet he may easily judge of you, either that ye understand not, or that ye unadvisedly abuse the Scriptures. Whether it be the Word of God, or no, the people, ye say, may not Judge: And that ye prove even by the Scriptures, God knoweth, full handsomely, and full discreetly applied: For the Scholar (ye say) is not above his Master. Thus we may learn by the Logic of Louvain, that Populus is Latin for a Scholar: & that Scripture is Latin for a Master. And thus by your vain premisses without sense ye proceed vainly, and conclude nothing.
