Hosius your Doctors, 1to make the matter plain, saith thus, Judásne sit, an Petrus, an Paulus, Deus attendi not vult: Sed solùm hoc, quo'd sedet in Cathedra Petri: quo'd Apostolus: quo'd Christi Legatus: quo'd Angelus est Domini exercituum: de cuius ore Legem requirere jussus es. Hoc solùm spectari vult. Si Judas est, quandoquidem Apostolus est, nihil te moveat, quo'd Fur est: God will never have thee consider, whether the Pope be a Judas, or a Peter, or a Paul. It is sufficient, only that he sitteth in Peters Chair: that he is an Apostle: that he is christs Ambassador: that he is the Angel of the Lord of Hosts: from whose mouth thou art commanded to require the Law. This thing only Christ would have thee to consider. Be it Judas: for as much as he is an Apostle, let it not move thee, though he be a Thief.

Hoc solùm spectari vult. Si Iudas est, quandoquidem Apostolus est, nihil te moueat, quo'd Fur est: God wil neuer haue thee consider, whether the Pope be a Iudas, or a Peter, or a Paule. It is sufficiente, onely that he sitteth in Peters Chaire: that he is an Apostle: that he is christes Embassadoure: that he is the Angel of the Lorde of Hostes: from whose mouthe thou arte commounded to require the Lawe. This thinge onely Christe would haue thee to consider. Be it Iudas: for as mutche as he is an Apostle, let it not moue thee, though he be a Theefe.

But Caiaphas said, It is good, that one man die for the people, lest all the people perish. Ergo, say you, Caiaphas had the Sprite of God. Alas, M. Harding, although you little pass for your Divinity, yet why have you no more regard unto your Logic? Every child knoweth, that this is a Paralogismus, or a deceitful kind of reasoning, called Fallacia Accidentis. And, that ye may the better espy your oversight, Like as ye say, Caiaphas prophesied blindly, him self not understanding, what he said, Ergo, he had the Holy Ghost:
