There is no folly so vain, but by some shift may be maintained. In your Gloss, M. Harding, 1it is written thus: Omnes subiecti sunt motioni Papae, & sunt in illo, quasi Membra de Membro: Al men are subject unto the Popes will, and are in him as members of a member. An other saithe, Ecclesia non habet Potestatem aliquam Jurisdictionis, nisi à Petro: The Church hath no Power of Jurisdiction, but only from Peter. And again, A Petro, post Christum, Spiritualis Gratia, & Potestas derivatur: Next after Christ, Spiritual Grace, and Power is derived from Peter. And therefore an other of your Doctours saithe: 2Omnes Episcopi descendunt à Papa, quasi Membra à Capite: & de eius Plenitudine omnes accipiunt. Al Bishops are derived from the Pope, as Members from the Head: and all they receive of his fullness: that is to say, Power of his Power, and Grace of his Grace. Al these vanities M. Harding thinketh, may be well borne out by two bare words of S. Bernard.

An other saithe, Ecclesia non habet Potestatem aliquam Iurisdictionis, nisi à Petro: The Churche hath no Power of Iurisdiction, but onely from Peter. And againe, A Petro, post Christum, Spiritualis Gratia, & Potestas deriuatur: Nexte after Christe, Spiritual Grace, and Power is deriued from Peter. And therefore an other of your Doctours saithe: 2Omnes Episcopi descendunt à Papa, quasi Mēbra à Capite: & de eius Plenitudine omnes accipiunt. Al Bishoppes are deriued from the Pope, as Members from the Head: and al they receiue of his fulnesse: that is to saie, Power of his Power, and Grace of his Grace. Al these vanities M. Hardinge thinketh, maie be wel borne out by two bare woordes of S. Bernarde.
