Ye say,1 S. Paul saith, If I forgave any thing, for your sakes I forgave it, in the person of Christ: We are Ambassadors in the stead of Christ, even as though God did exhort you through us: Hereof ye conclude, Ergo, The Pope under Christ, and in the stead of Christ is Head of the Church. If ye conclude not thus, ye wander idly, and speak in vain, & conclude nothing. These words of S. Paul nothing touch y• Pope, but only the faithful, & zealous Preacher of the Gospel. For wherein doth ⟨p. 95⟩the Pope resemble S. Paul?2 Wherein doth he represent the Person of Christ? What exhorteth he? What teacheth he? What saith he? What doth he? And yet if he would do any one part of his whole duty, how might this Argument stand for good: S. Paul being at y• City of Philippi in Macedonia, exhorted the Corinthians, as in the Person of Christ: Ergo, the Pope being at Rome in Italy, although he neither exhort, nor preach, yet is he the Head of the Universal Church? Although Divinity go hard with you, yet ye should have seen better to your Logic.
Ye saie,1 S. Paule saithe, Yf I forgaue any thing, for your sakes I forgaue it, in the personne of Christe: Wee are Embassadours in the steede of Christe, euen as though God did exhorte you through vs: Hereof ye conclude, Ergo, The Pope vnder Christe, and in the steede of Christe is Heade of the Churche. Yf ye conclude not thus, ye wander idlely, and speake in vaine, & condlude nothing. These woordes of S. Paule nothing touche y• Pope, but onely the faithful, & zelous Preacher of the Gospel. For wherein dothe ⟨p. 95⟩the Pope resemble S. Paule?2 Wherein doothe he reprosente the Personne of Christe? What exhorteth he? What teacheth he? What saithe he? What doothe he? And yet if he would do any one part of his whole duetie, how might this Argument stand for good: S. Paule being at y Cittie of Philippi in Maerdonia, exhorted the Corinthians, as in the Personne of Christe: Ergo, the Pope being at Rome in Italie, although he neither exhorte, nor preache, yet is he the Head of the Vniuersal Churche? Although Diuinitie goe harde with you, yet ye shoulde haue seens better to your Logique.
