This authour saithe, Fuit semper vestrae Sanctae & Apostolicae Sedi licentia, iniustè damnatos, vel excommunicatos potestativè sua authoritate restituere, & sua eis omnia reddere. Your holy Apostolic See had evermore a special Prerogative by your own authority, and by way of power, to relieve men unjustly condemned, or excommunicate, and to restore them to their own. But it shall hereafter appear, that the Bishop of Rome at that time had no such power: and that it was not he, that restored any man in that case by his power, but only the Emperor.

S. Paul saith,1 Other foundation none can be laid, but only that is laid already, which is Christ Jesus. And findeth great fault with the Corinthians that said, I hold of Apollo: I hold of Paul: I hold of Peter. But M. Hardinges Athanasius saith, Tu es Petrus, & super fundamentum tuum Ecclesiae columnae, hoc est, Episcopi, sunt confirmatae. Thou art Peter, and upon thy foundation the pillars of the Church, which are the Bishops, are surely set: and thus he deviseth an other foundation besides Christ, and, contrary to S. Pauls Doctrine, would have all the Bishops of the world to hold of Peter.
S. Paule saithe,1 Other foundation none canne be layde, but onely that is layde alreadie, whiche is Christe Iesus. And findeth greate faulte with the Corinthians that saide, I holde of Apollo: I holde of Paule: I holde of Peter. But M. Hardinges Athanasius saithe, Tu es Petrus, & super fundamentum tuum Ecclesiae columnae, hoc est, Episcopi, sunt confirmatae. Thou arte Peter, and vpon thy fundation the pillers of the Churche, vvhiche are the Bishoppes, are surely sette: and thus he diuiseth an other foundation bisides Christe, and, contrary to S. Paules Doctrine, woulde haue al the Bishoppes of the worlde to holde of Peter.
