Now, M. Harding, ye huddle up hastily your poor Arguments in heaps together. One, or two of them only I mind to touch: The rest are not worth the stirring. First ye say, The Popes Power is of God, The Princes Power is only of Man. The one Supernatural, the other Natural. In such sort your Pope Nicolas adorneth, & magnifieth his own Chair. For thus he saith with a joily courrage: Illud Verbum, quo constructum est Coelum, & Terra, quo denique omnia ficta sunt Elementa, Romanam fundavit Ecclesiam: The Word of God, whereby Heaven, and Earth was made, and whereby all the Elements were fashioned, the same Word founded the Church of Rome. As if the Church of Rome, and other Churches, were not all of one Foundation. An other of your Popes Retainers saithe, Papatus est Summa Virtus Creata: 1The Popedom is the Highest Virtue, or Power, that ever God made: that is to say, the Popedom is above Angels, Archangels, Thrones, Dominations, and all the Powers, in, under, or above the Heavens.
Nowe, M. Hardinge, yée huddle vp hastily your poore Argumentes in heapes togeather. One, or twoo of them onely I minde to touche: The reste are not woorth the sturringe. Firste yée saie, The Popes Power is of God, The Princes Power is onely of Man. The one Supernatural, the other Natural. In sutche sorte your Pope Nicolas adourneth, & magnifieth his owne Chaire. For thus he saith with a ioily courrage: Illud Verbum, quo constructum est Coelum, & Terra, quo denique omnia ficta sunt Elementa, Romanam fundauit Ecclesiam: The Woorde of God, whereby Heauen, and Earthe was made, and whereby al the Elementes were fashioned, the same Woorde founded the Churche of Rome. As if the Churche of Rome, and other Churches, were not al of one Fundation. An other of your Popes Reteiners saithe, Papatus est Summa Virtus Creata: 1The Popedome is the Highest Vertue, or Power, that euer God made: that is to saie, the Popedome is aboue Angels, Archangels, Thrones, Dominations, and al the Povvers, in, vnder, or aboue the Heauens.
