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. 1M. Harding saith, The Bishop of Rome was called the Universal Bishop. But S. Gregory even in the self same sentence, that M. Harding hath here so hastily broken of, saith, Peter him self being the Apostle of Christ, yet was not called the Universal Apostle. And would M. Harding have the world believe, that the Popes power is greater, and more universal then S. Peters? These words M. Harding thought good to nip of in the midst. Such is his dealing in the allegation of the Ancient Fathers. If I list to use his own terms, I might well call this Foisting, or Cogging, or, I know not what. Certainly the holy Fathers in the Council of Constantinople saie thus, Non conuenit orthodoxis,2 ita circumtruncatas Sanctorum Patrum voces deflorare. Haereticorum potiùs hoc proprium est.3 It is n•t meet for Catholic men, thus to chop, and to pare the s••einges of the holy F•thers. It is rather the very property of Heretics.

The next woordes that immediatly folow in the same sentence, are these, Tamen Petrus Vniuersalis Apostolus non vocatur. Yet Peter is not called the Vniuersal Apostle. 1M. Hardinge saith, The Bishoppe of Rome was called the Vniuersal Bishop. But S. Gregorie euen in the selfe same sentence, that M. Hardinge hath here so hastily broaken of, saithe, Peter him selfe beinge the Apostle of Christe, yet was not called the Vniuersal Apostle. And woulde M. Hardinge haue the worlde beléeue, that the Popes power is greater, and more vniuersal then S. Peters? These woordes M. Hardinge thought good to nippe of in the middes. Suche is his dealing in the allegation of the Auncient Fathers. If I liste to vse his owne termes, I might wel cal this Foystinge, or Cogging, or, I know not what. Certainely the holy Fathers in the Councel of Constantinople saie thus, Non conuenit orthodoxis,
