And what should I allege any other the Old Fathers?1 Nicolas Lyra, as simple an Interpreter, as he was, yet he likewise saith the same: Fiet Unus Pastor, id est, Christus: There shalbe One Shepherd, that is to say, (not the Pope, but) (Christ.) Neither is M. Harding able to show us any Learned allowed Interpreter, Old, or New, that hath expounded this place otherwise.

Al these things notwithstanding, as well these words of Christ, as also the other of the Prophet Hosea, M. Harding applieth only to the Pope. The Pope must be the Head: The Pope must be the Shepherd. Both Christ, and Hosea Prophesied these things of the Glory, and Kingdom of the Pope. Judah and Israel shall choose Christ to be their Head: Al the Faithful through the world are one Flock, and Christ is the Shepherd: Ergo, the Pope is the General Head of the Universal Church of God.
Al these thinges notwithstandinge, as wel these woordes of Christe, as also the other of the Prophete Osee, M. Hardinge applieth onely to the Pope. The Pope muste be the Heade: The Pope muste be the Shephearde. Bothe Christe, and Osee Prophesied these thinges of the Glorie, and Kingdome of the Pope. Iuda and Israel shal chuse Christe to be theire Heade: Al the Faitheful through the worlde are one Flocke, and Christe is the Shephearde: Ergo, the Pope is the General Heade of the Vniuersal Churche of God.
