Hereto M. Harding answereth nothing else, but thus, The Council is the School of Truth: The Bishops cannot forslow their duties: The Church of Rome cannot err. Which tales we have so often, and not without weariness heard already. Petrus de Palude,1 emongest other your Doctours saithe, Non est credendum, Ecclesiam Romanam errasse à Fide. Ipsa enim potest è contrario cum Christo dicere, Ego Testimonium perhibeo de meipsa. Testimonium meum verum est: No man may believe, that the Church of Rome may err from the Faith: Contrariwise that Church may say with Christ, I bear witness of me self. And my witness is just, and true. Therefore so long, as the Church of Rome can speak for her self, there is no doubt, but all is well.
Hereto M. Hardinge answeareth nothinge els, but thus, The Councel is the Schoole of Truthe: The Bishoppes cannot foreslowe their dueties: The Churche of Rome cannot erre. Whiche tales wee haue so often, and not without wearinesse hearde already. Petrus de Palude,1 emongest other your Doctours saithe, Non est credendum, Ecclesiam Romanam errasse à Fide. Ipsa enim potest è contrario cum Christo dicere, Ego Testimonium perhibeo de meipsa. Testimonium meum verum est: No man maie beleue, that the Churche of Rome maie erre from the Faithe: Contrarywise that Churche maie saie with Christe, I beare vvitnesse of mee selfe. And my vvitnesse is iuste, and true. Therefore so longe, as the Churche of Rome can speake for her selfe, there is no doubte, but al is wel.
