Here we have found one Pope with two Capacities. In one respect he is a Man: in an other respect he is above a Man: but whether, in that respect, he be Angel, or Archangel, it is paste in silence. One way he Succeedeth Peter: an other way he Succeedeth, I know not, whom. One way he may Err: an other way, though he would never so fain, he cannot err. In his Bed, at his Table, on Horseback, or else where, we may well mistrust him: for in these places he may be deceived, as well, as others. But, in Council, in Consistory, and in place of Judgement, it is most certain, ye say, he cannot err. For in these places he hath the Holy Ghost, I trow, at his Commandment. His Power Pastoral, his Succession in Authority, and Infallibility of Faith, his Place, his Chair, & his Consecration, 1are sufficient for ever to preserve him from Error. To like purpose Sallust sometime said of Cicero, Aliud Stans, aliud Sedens, de Republica sentit: While he Standeth up, he hath one mind, touching the common State: When he sitteth down, 2he hath an other. Apollos Nonne, while she sate mewed in her Cave, was inspired, and Prophesied, and gave Oracles: but after that she came abroad, she was no wiser, then other women. Thus your Doctors say, as it is before reported, Veritas adhaeret Cathedrae: Papa sanctitatem recipit à Cathedra: The ⟨p. 725⟩Popes Truth is fastened unto his Chair:
