Pope Alexander maketh sale of his Keys, of his Altars, and of Christ him self. Well may he less these things: for he him self payed well for them.

Notwithstanding, ye doubt not, but all this, by a pretty sorry Distinction, may soon be excused. For thus ye saie: Verum est in ijs, quae sunt Simoniaca de lure Posiivo solùm: 1Sed non in ijs, quae sunt Simoniaca de lure Divino. Whereby, ye say, the Author meaneth, that the Pope is not under the Rules of Simony, concerning such Laws, & pains, as he him self, or his Predecessors have made, and provided in that behalf. And therefore, as your modest manner is, ye say, we have falsely alleged, and shamefully belied Summa Angelica. But why do you not better open the several parts of your Distinction? Why do ye not better tea• he us to understand, what is Simony by Law Positive: and what is Simony by the Law of God? And why do ye not declare each part by plain Examples? Seeing you thus to steal away in the dark, we have some cause to doubt your dealing.
Notwithstanding, ye doubte not, but al this, by a prety soary Distinction, maie soone be excused. For thus yée saie: Verum est in ijs, quae sunt Simoniaca de lure Posiiuo solùm: 1Sed non in ijs, quae sunt Simoniaca de lure Diuino. Whereby, ye saie, the Authoure meaneth, that the Pope is not vnder the Rules of Simonie, concerninge sutche Lawes, & paines, as he him selfe, or his Predecessoures haue made, and prouided in that behalfe. And therefore, as your modeste manner is, yee saie, wee haue falsely alleged, and shamefully belied Summa Angelica. But why doo you not better open the seueral partes of your Distinction? Why doo ye not better tea• he vs to vnderstande, what is Simonie by Lavve Positiue: and what is Simonie by the Lavve of God? And why doo yée not declare eche parte by plaine Examples? Seeinge you thus to steale awaie in the darke, wée haue somme cause to doubte your dealinge.
