The Popes words, you say, were never taken for Gospel: Yes, M. Harding, and somewhat also above the Gospel. For proof whereof it may please you to remember the words of certain your late Doctors. Sylvester Prieriâs late Ma• s•ter of Pope Leos Palace,1 writeth thus: Indulgentiae authoritate Scripturae non innotuere nobis: sed authoritate Ecclesiae Romanae, Romanorumque Pontificum, quae maior est: Pardonnes are not warranted unto us by the authority of God's Word: but by the authority of the Romaine Church, and of the Bishops of Rome, which is more, then God's Word. If this be not sufficient, he addeth farther: A doctrina Romanae Ecclesiae, & Romani Pontificis Sacra Scriptura robur, & authbritatem trahit: The Holy Scripture taketh strength, and authority of the Doctrine of the Bishop and Church of Rome.
