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: 3The Pope from his Chair receiveth his Holiness.
Here wee haue founde one Pope with twoo Capacities. In one respecte he is a Man: in an other respecte he is aboue a Man: but whether, in that respecte, he be Angel, or Archangel, it is paste in silence. One waie he Succedeth Peter: an other waie he Succedeth, I knowe not, whom. One waie he maie Erre: an other waie, though he woulde neuer so faine, he cannot erre. In his Bed, at his Table, on Horsebacke, or els where, wee maie wel mistruste him: for in these places he maie be deceiued, as wel, as others. But, in Councel, in Consistorie, and in place of Iudgemente, it is moste certaine, yee saie, he cannot erre. For in these places he hathe the Holy Ghoste, I trowe, at his Commaundemente. His Povver Pastoral, his Succession in Authoritie, and Infallibilitie of Faithe, his Place, his Chaire, & his Consecration,
