Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Al this not withstanding, M. Harding, others of your more indifferent Doctors, would have told you an other tale. S. Bernarde saithe, Quae maior superbia esse potest,1 quàm ut Unus homo toti Congregationi judicium suum praeferat, tanquàm Solus habeat Spiritum Sanctum? What greater pride can there be, then that One man should esteem his own judgement more, then the judgement of all the Church, as if he only had the Sprite of God? Whereunto picus Mirandula addeth these words, Imò Simplici potiùs Rustico, & Infanti, & Aniculae magis, quàm Pontifici Maximo, & mille Episcopis credendū est, si isti contra Evangelium, illi pro Evangelio faciant: Nay, we ought to believe a Simple plain Husbandman, or a Child, or an Old Woman, rather then the Pope, and a thousand Bishops, if the Pope, and the Bishops speak against the Gospel, and the others speak with the Gospel.

Bernarde saithe, Quae maior superbia esse potest,1 quàm vt Vnus homo toti Congregationi iudicium suum praeferat, tanquàm Solus habeat Spiritum Sanctum? What greatter pride can there be, then that One man should esteeme his owne iudgemente more, then the iudgemente of al the Churche, as if he onely had the Sprite of God? Whereunto picus Mirandula addeth these woordes, Imò Simplici potiùs Rustico, & Infanti, & Aniculae magis, quàm Pontifici Maximo, & mille Episcopis credendū est, si isti contra Euangelium, illi pro Euangelio faciant: Naie, wee ought to beleue a Simple plaine Husbandeman, or a Childe, or an Olde Wooman, rather then the Pope, and a thousand Bishoppes, if the Pope, and ye Bishoppes speake againste the Gospel, and the others speake with the Gospel.
