Johannes Maior saithe, 1De Indulgentijs pauca dici possunt per certitudinem, quia Scriptura de illis expressè non loquitur. Nam quod ditur Petro, Tibi dabo Claves, &c. certum est, quò'd opor•er intelligere illam Authoritatem cum sale. Fatuae ergo & superstitiosae sunt quaedam Indulgentiae viginti millium annorum: of Pardons little may be said of certainty: for the Scripture expressly saith nothing of them. Touching that Christ saith unto Peter, Unto thee will I give the Keys &c. we must understand this Authority with a corn of Salt (otherwise it may be unsavoury). Therefore certain of the Popes Pardons, that promise twenty thousand years, are foolish, and superstitious.

Your School Doctors them selves were wont sometime to say, 1Inuentio indulgentiarum est pia fraus, & dolus non malus, quò populus officioso errore trahatur ad pietatem: The Devising of Pardons is a Godly guile, and a hurtless deceit: to the intent, that by a devout kind of Error the people may be drawn to Godliness.
