A great contention fell out between them, of Ratispone in Germany, and the Abby of S. Denise in France, 1whether of them had the whole Body of S. Denise: for that either part said, & bare the world in hand, they had the whole. To Rome they went: The Pope sate sadly in Judgement: and examined their Allegations, and grew to conclusion: and in the end, gave his advised, & Definitive Sentence, that either part, as well they of France, as also the others of Germany, had the whole Body of S Denise: and that who so ever would say nay, should be an Heretic. Of such substance, and certainty are the Oracles of your See of Rome.

Somme of your friends have said,1 Veritas per Christum Cathedrae alligata est, non personis: Christe hath fastened his Truth, not to the Popes person, but to his Chair: Meaning thereby, that the Pope, what so ever he decree, or say, sitting in S. Peters Chair, can never err. And thus, by this Doctors Judgement, we are taught, to give credit rather to the Popes Chair, then to the Pope.
