The Temporal Prince, ye say, hath not the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven: Ergo, he may not judge in Ecclesiastical Causes, nor give Definitive Sentence in General Council. This is a very silly poor Argument, M. Harding, as hereafter it shall appear. But S. Ambrose saith unto the Emperor Valentinian: When did your Majesty ever hear, that in a Cause of Faith, a Laymen were Judges over Bishops? Here, M. Harding, by the way, S. Ambrose giveth you to understand, that onlesse it be in a Cause of Faith, a Layman may be Judge over a Bishop: which thing is contrary,1 not only to your Former Doctrine, but also to the whole course, and practise of your Church of Rome.
