Neither are we the adversaries of the Church, nor Gelasius the chiefest that we bring for our purpose. We follow Christ, as he hath commanded us, whom it became Gelasius also to follow. But it is a world to see, into how many faces, and fashions M. Harding is fain to turn him self, to avoid this authority ⟨p. 145⟩of Gelasius. He leaveth the whole route of his own company, and is glad to run alone. He expoundeth Gelasius by Leo, as though they wrote both of one thing. And yet others of his own side say, that Leo wrote of Heretics, and Gelasius of Catholics: Leo of the people, Gelasius of the Priests. He complaineth, that the rest of Gelasius is not to be found, as though it were supperest by some of us:1 and yet it is thought the Pope hath it whole in his Library. He deviseth new causes of unity of the Mystery, such as Gelasius never knew. He concludeth at the last, that this breach of Christs Institution, and Ministration under One Kind, that is now universally used in the Church of Rome, was first brought in, and practised by the Manichees, which were in old time wicked, and horrible Heretics.
Neither are we the aduersaries of the Churche, nor Gelasius the chiefest that we bringe for our purpose. We follow Christe, as he hath commaunded vs, whome it became Gelasius also to followe. But it is a worlde to sée, into howe many faces, and fashions M. Harding is faine to turne him selfe, to auoide this authoritie ⟨p. 145⟩
