The state of the Romaine Popedom sprung first of money, and increased by money, and standeth now, neither by Truth of Doctrine, nor by severity of Discipline, nor by Prayer, nor by Holiness, nor by ought else, but only by money. Set money apart, and the Pope is equal with other Bishops. Codrus Urceus saith,1 Pontifex Maximus, si non Virtute, tamen Pecunia: The Pope is the greattest Bishop, although not in Virtue, yet at least in money. Therefore we may say of the Pope, 2as Diphilus sometime said of Pompeius, Nostra miseria Magnus es. Baptista Mantuanus, speaking of the state of Rome, saith thus, Venalia nobis Templa, Secerdotes, Altaria, Sacra, Coronae, Ignis, Thura, Preces, Coelum est venale, Deus•ue: Bmongeste us, in Rome, Churches, Priests, Altars, Masses, Crowns, Fire, Incense, Prayers, and Heaven are set to sale. Ye God him self amongst us may be had for money.
