Al this, M. Harding, will hardly prove your strange Conclusion, that the ⟨p. 649⟩Priest was Superior to the King: 1It seemeth much better to prove the contrary, that the Priest was the Kings Inferior, and his Subject, and his Clerk of Records, as being appointed to keep his Books. So S. Augustine saith,2 the Jews this day keep the very true Books of the Scriptures: Al be it, not for their own use, but only for ours. And therefore, he saith, they be, not our Superiors, but our Servants.
