Here, M. Harding, ye begin out of season to play with your Allegories, and Mystical Fantasies. Your Catholic Church of Rome is the Mount: Worldly pleasure is the Vale. By which Comparison, we must believe, that the Pope, and his Cardinals, sitting on high upon the Mount, pass their time there only in Fasting, and prayer, and in all manner poverty, and penury, and straitou•sse of Life, and have utterly abandoned all worldly pleasures. Notwithstanding some have said,1 In Cardinalibus Superbia, Avaritia, Luxuria validissimè dominantur: In the Cardinals of Rome Pride, Avarice, and Lechery are in their greatest Courage. Howe be it, touching as well this, as other your like follies, concerning the Church, I will not say, Ye keep your wont: but I must needs say, Ye do but trifle.
