M. Hardinges reasons would weigh the more, if either Christ, or Peter, or Paul, or any old Doctor, or Catholic Father had ever used the same. Otherwise S. Augustine speaking of discourse of Reason in the understanding of the Scriptures,1 saithe thus, Haec consuetudo periculosa est. Per Scripturas enim divinas multò tutiùs ambulatur. This manner of expounding is very dangerous. The safer way is to walk by the Scriptures. The force of M. Hardinges reason caused Alexander the ambitious King of Macedonia to say, As the Heavens can h•ue but one Sun, so may the whole world have but one King: And likewise Pope Bonifac•us the eighth to say,2 as is before, In principio creavit Deus coelum, & terram: non in principijs, In the beginning, as in one, God made Heaven, and Earth, and not in the beginnings, as in m•ny: Ergo, the Pope is head of the Church.
