Now of the other side, M. Harding, consider you the Common, and ordinary practise of your Church of Rome. First, touching the Pope him self, your Gloss saith, Facta Papae excusantur, ut Adulterium Jacob: The Popes doings (or Aduouteries) are excused, as the Adultery of Jacob. And again, Communiter dicitur, quo'd pro Simplici Fornicatione quis deponi non debet: cùm pauci sine illo vitio inueniantur: It is commonly said, that a man may not be deposed, or deprived for Simple Fornication: 1For as much as few (Priests) be found without that fault.

And againe, Communiter dicitur, quo'd pro Simplici Fornicatione quis deponi non debet: cùm pauci sine illo vitio inueniantur: It is commonly saide, that a man maie not be deposed, or depriued for Simple Fornication: 1For as mutche as fewe (Priestes) be founde without that faulte.

Again, whereas the words of the Decree are these, Nullus audiat Missam Presbyter, quem scit Concubinam indubitanter habere: Let no man hear the Mass of that •neste, whom he undoubtedly knoweth to keep a Concubine, The Close upon the same saith thus, Hic Canon quandoque fuit latae Sententiae: Sed hodiè non est: This Decree in old times stood as a ruled case: but now is it not so. Ideo licet notoria sit Fornicatio, tamen non est propter eam abstinendum ab officijs Presbyterorum: And therefore, although the Fornication be notoriously known, yet may we not therefore refrain from the Service of the Priest.
