If S. Gregory were now alive, he would charge M. Harding with open injury: not only for altering his whole meaning, but also for mangling, and maiming his very words. M. Harding to prove, that the Bishop of Rome was called the Universal Bishop, allegeth these words of S. Gregory:1 Ecce, Petrus claves Regni Coelorum accipit: 2Et potestas ei ligandi, soluendique tribuitur. Cura ei totius Ecclesiae, & principatus committitur. Behold Peter receiveth the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. To him is given power both to bind, and to loose. The charge and chief rule of the Church is committed unto him. Thus far Gregory, saith M. Harding.

And why no farther? was he stayed with the Chincough, and forced to break of his tale in the middest? But mark well, gentle Reader, and thou shalt see S. Gregory set to School, and kept in awe, and not suffered to utter one word more, then M. Harding will give him leave. The next words that immediately follow in the same sentence, are these, Tamen Petrus Universalis Apostolus non vocatur. Yet Peter is not called the Universal Apostle.
