When the Scriptures be dark,1 and doubtful, & are alleged of both parts, then ye say, ye refuse not the Umpireship, and judgement of the Holy Ghost. But ye add farther, The Holy Ghost is promised only to the Church. Now by your opinion there is no Church,2 but the Church of Room. And the Church of Room is no Church without the Pope: For one of your great Doctors saith, Potestas Papae solius excedit potestatem totius residuae Ecclesiae: The Popes only power passeth all the power of the whole Church besides: And an other like Doctor saith, Papa virtualiter est tota Ecclesia: The Pope by power, and virtue is the whole Church: And thus your reason goeth round about, à Primo ad ultimum: Ergo, There is neither Holy Ghost, nor Interpretation, or sense of the Scriptures, but only in the Pope. This is, Summa Summarum: which thing being granted, what should a man seek any farther? The whole matter is at an end.

This is, Summa Summarum: whiche thinge being graunted, what should a man séeke any farther? The whole mater is at an ende.
