Touching that, 1sundry of your Doctors have said, the Pope cannot commit Simony, first it shall be necessary in that behalf, to consider the state, and practise of the Church of Rome. S. Bernard, writing unto Pope Eugenius, saith, Limina Apostolorum Ambitio jam plùm terit,2 quàm Devotio. Vocibus Ambitionis vestrum toto die resultat Palatium: Ambitio in Ecclesia per te regnare molitur: The Apostles Entries, or Gates in Rome, are now more worn with Ambition, then with Devotion. Al the day long your Palace ringeth with the sound of Ambition. By thy means, Ambition seeketh to reign in the Church of God. Again he saith, 3Sacri gradus dati sunt in occasionem turpis Lucri: & quaestū aestimant Pietatem: The Holy Degrees, or Ecclesiastical rooms are given over to occasion of filthy gain: and the same gain they count Holiness. Ludovicus Vives saith, Romae cùm omnia propè vendantur, & emantur, nihil tamen agas sine Lege, ac Formula, atque evam Sanctissimi juris: At Rome, not withstanding all things be bought, and sold, yet may ye do nothing there without Form, and Order, and that of most Holy Religion.
