I marvel, M. Harding, where ye learned so much Logic. Howe frame ye this Argument? In what Mood? In what Figure? With what cement can ye make these silly loose parts to cleave together? It pitieth me to see your case. For by like form of Argument, and with much more likelihood of Reason, we may turn the same against your self, and may say thus: Christ hath placed in his Church, some Apostles, some Prophets, some Evangelists, some Pastors, some Teachers: The Pope, and his Cardinals are not here named: Apostles they are not, For the Apostles were but twelve: Prophets they are not, for they Prophesy nothing: Evangelists they be not, for they Preach not: Pastors, or Feeders they are not, for they Feed not: Doctors, or Teachers they are not, for they teach not. Ergo, by this Authority of S. Paul, and by your own Argument, The Pope, and his Cardinals be utterly excluded, and may not meddle with the charge of the Church of God.
I marueile, M. Hardinge, where yée learned so mutche Logique. Howe frame yee this Argumente? In what Moode? In what Figure? With what cement can yée make these séely loose partes to cleaue togeather? It pitieth me to sée your case. For by like fourme of Argumente, and with mutche more likelihoode of Reason, wée maie turne the same againste your selfe, and maie saie thus: Christe hath placed in his Churche, somme Apostles, somme Prophetes, somme Euangelistes, somme Pastoures, somme Teachers: The Pope, and his Cardinalles are not here named: Apostles they are not, For the Apostles were but twelue: Prophetes they are not, for they Prophesie nothinge: Euangelistes they be not, for they Preache not: Pastours, or Feeders they are not, for they Feede not: Doctours, or Teachers they are not, for they teache not. Ergo, by this Authoritie of S. Paule, and by your owne Argumente, The Pope, and his Cardinalles be vtterly excluded, and maie not meddle with the charge of the Churche of God.
In such good Substantial sort Pope Paulus. 3. not long sithence, reasoned against the Emperor Charles the Fifth, 1En ego supra Pastores meos: Behold, saith God Almighty, I will punish my Priests, and Bishops, for their negligence, and wickedness: Ergo, saith Pope Paulus, The Prince, or Emperor may not punish them.
