O what a pleasant grace M. Harding hath, to talk of Lies? A man would think, it were some good part of his study. In this place two sundry Authorities, the one of Clemens, the other of S. Bernard, I know not, by what error, were joined in one, and both alleged, and set forth under the name only of Clements. I grant, There was herein an oversight: But Lie, or Falsehood there was none.

The words of Clemens are, 1as you report them. The words of S. Bernard, written unto Pope Eugenius, are these: Planum est, Apostolis interdici Dominatum. I ergo tu, & tibi usurpate aude, aut Dominans Apostolatum: aut Apostolus Dominatum. Planè ab alterurto prohiberis. Si utrunque similiter habere velis, perdes utrunque: It is plain, that unto the Apostles of Christ, Lordship, or Temporal Princehood is forbidden. Go thou thy way therefore (thus he saith to the Pope) and dare thou to usurp, either the Apostleship, being a Lord: or a Lordship, being an Apostle. From one of them undoubtedly thou art forbidden. If thou wilt indifferently have both, thou wilt lose both.
The woordes of Clemens are, 1as you reporte them. The woordes of S. Bernarde, written vnto Pope Eugenius, are these: Planum est, Apostolis interdici Dominatum. I ergo tu, & tibi vsurpate aude, aut Dominans Apostolatum: aut Apostolus Dominatum. Planè ab alterurto prohiberis. Si vtrunque similiter habere velis, perdes vtrunque: It is plaine, that vnto the Apostles of Christe, Lordeship, or Temporal Princehoode is forebidden. Goe thou thy waie therefore (thus he saithe to the Pope) and dare thou to vsurpe, either the Apostleship, beinge a Lorde: or a Lordeship, beinge an Apostle. From one of them vndoubtedly thou arte forebidden. If thou vvilt indifferently haue bothe, thou vvilt lose bothe.
