The greatest weight hereof upon two of your Doctors, Sylvester Prieriâs, and Albertus Pigghius. Whose credit notwithstanding ye would fain otherwise save upright, yet here, as it seemeth, ye are content, for shame to give them over. We bind our selves, ye say, neither to the words of Sylvester, nor of Pigghius. If they err, what is that to us? This short, and blunt answer, notwithstanding it seem to like well you, yet perhaps Prieriâs, and Pigghius it would not like. I see no great cause to the contrary, but either of them might as well renounce your Authority, and say of you, We are not bound, neither to M. Hardinges words, nor to his fellows.
