Likewise,1 In Provisione de Martona, in the time of King Henry the third, whereas matter was moved of Bastardy, touching the Legitimation of Bastards borne before Marriage, the Statute paste wholly with the Lords Temporal, whether the Lords Spiritual would, or no: Yea, and that contrary to the express Decrees,2 and Canons of the Church of Rome.

Further, whereas ye call the Doctrine of Christ, that now by God's great Mercy, and to your great grief is Universally, and freely Preached, a Parliament Religion, and a Parliament Gospel, (for such sobriety becometh you well, and may stand you in stead, when learning faileth) ye might have remembered, that Christ him self, at the beginning, was Universally received, and honoured through this Realm, by assent of Parliament: and further, that without Parliament, your Pope him self was never received, no not in the lay time of Oveene Mary. Yea, & even then, his Holiness was clogged with Parliament Conditions, that, what so ever had been determined in Parliament, and was not repealed, were it never so contrary to his will, and Canons, should remain still inviolable, and stand in force. Otherwise, his Holiness had gone home again. Such, M. Harding, is the Authority of a Parliament. Verily, if Parliaments of Realms be no Parliaments, then will your Pope be no Pope. Therefore with like Sobriety, & gravity of speech, ye might have said, Our Fathers in old times had a Parliament Christ: And your late Fathers, and Brethren had a Parliament Faith, a Parliament Mass, and a Parliament Pope.
