Al this is nothing else, but a politic kind of dissimulation, and Hypocrisy. For if these be Servants, I pray you then, who be Lords?
Al this is nothinge els, but a politique kinde of dissimulation, and Hypocris•e. For if these be Seruantes, I praie you then, whoe be Lordes?
Herueus, one of your own Doctors, hereof saith thus, Dicere, quo•d talia dicum Summi Pontifices ex Humilitate, est omni• o' perniciosum. Et hoc est ponere os in Coelum. Philosophus dicit, hoc esse peccatum Ironiae, quod opponitur virtuti. Et addit, tales humiles non esse virtuosos, sed timidos, & blanditores. Et Augustinus ait,1 Cùm Humilitatis causa mentiris, si non eras peccator antequàm mentireris, mentiendo peccator efficeris: To say, that the Popes speak these words of Humility, it were very hurtful. And this is, To set the face against the Heavens. Aristotle saith, this is the ••nne of Dissimulation, or Hypocrisy, which is contrary unto virtue. And saith further, that such humble men are not virtuous, but fearful, and flattering. And S. Augustine saith, when so ever thou speakest untruth under the colour of Humility, if thou were not a sinner before, yet by telling untruth thou art made a Sinner.
