For the rest,1 M. Harding saith, One King is able to rule One Kingdom: Ergo, One Pope is able to rule the whole Church. This Reason is very simple, and is answered before. Of the government of Princes we have daily Practise: But of Popes, that ever exercised this Universal Dominion over the whole Church of God, M. Harding is not able to show us one. Well were it with him, if he were but a Member of Christs Body, and a Sheep of his Flock. S. Gregory said sometime to John the Bishop of Constantinople, claiming unto him self the same Title, and thinking him self able enough to rule the whole,2 Quid tu Christo Universalis Ecclesiae Capiti in Extremi Judicij responsurus es examine, qui cuncta eius Membra tibimet conaris Universalis appellation supponere? What answer wilt thou make in the trial of the Last Judgement, unto Christ the Head of his Universal Church, that thus by the name of Universal Pishop, seekest to bring under thee all the Members of his Body?
