Such Logic M. Harding is able to teach us: and with such fear, and reverence can he use God's Holy Word.1 And like as the Emperor Caligula sometimes took of the Head of his great God Jupiter, and set on an other Head of his own: Even so by these Interpretations, and Glosses, M. Harding smiteth of Christ, the Only Head of the Church, and setteth on the Pope. For Johannes de Parisijs (out of whom, or some other the like, he hath borrowed this whole matter) nothing doubteth to tell us, that Christ is not, nor cannot be the Head of this Body,2 or the Shepherd of this Flock. And, lest M. Harding should charge me with untrue report, his words be these: Congregabuntur Filij Judah, & Filij Israel, ut ponant sibi Caput Unum: Et Johan. 10. Fiet Unū Ovile, & Unus Pastor. Quod quidē de Christo intelligi nō potest: sed de alio aliquo Ministro, qui praesit loco eius: The Children of Judah, and the Children of Israel shall assemble together, to appoint unto them selves One Head: And in the tenth of John, There shall be made One Fold, and One Shepherd: Which thing doubtless cannot be expounded of Christ: but must be taken of some other Minister, that may rule in his stead.
Sutche Logique M. Hardinge is hable to teache vs: and with sutche feare, and reuerence can he vse Goddes Holy Woorde.1 And like as the Emperour Caligula sometimes tooke of the Heade of his greate God Iuppiter, and set on an other Head of his owne: Euen so by these Interpretations, and Gloses, M. Hardinge smiteth of Christe, the Onely Heade of the Churche, and setteth on the Pope. For Iohannes de Parisijs (out of whom, or somme other the like, he hathe borowed this whole mater) nothinge doubteth to telle vs, that Christe is not, nor cannot be the Heade of this Body,2 or the Shephearde of this Flocke. And, leste M. Hardinge should charge me with vntrue reporte, his woordes be these: Congregabūtur Filij Iuda, & Filij Israel, vt ponāt sibi Caput Vnum: Et Iohan. 10. Fiet Vnū Ouile, & Vnus Pastor. Quod quidē de Christo intelligi nō potest: sed de alio aliquo Ministro, qui praesit loco eius: The Children of Juda, and the Children of Isral shal assemble togeather, to appointe vnto them selues One Heade: And in the tenthe of Iohn, There shalbe made One Folde, and One Shephearde: Whiche thinge doubtelesse cannot be expounded of Christe: but muste be taken of some other Minister, that maye rule in his steede.
