The rest of your speech we will pass over, as talk of course. Touching your curious demand of Signs, and Miracles, Pope Leo may answer you. For,1 whereas certain of your Forefathers in old times said, If he be the King of Israel, let him come down from the Cross, and we will believe him: Pope Leo saith thus unto them,2 Non erat vestrae coecitatis arbitrio, Stulti Scribae, & Impij Sacerdotes, ostendenda potentia Saluatoris: Ye foolish Scribes, and wicked Priests, the Power of our Saviour was not to be showed at the discretion of your Blindness. God showeth his Miracles when, and where, and to whom he will.
