Upon occasion hereof, M. Harding seemeth to reason in this sort: Onles there be one appointed by God to be the Universal Bishop of the world, havinge Omnia jura in scrinio cpectoris sui, all manner law, and right in the closet of his breast: dCui sit pro ratione voluntas, whose pleasure may stand in stead of law: Unto whom, what so ever he do, no man may say,e Domine cur ita facis? Sir, why do you so? And the same neither exhort, nor teach, nor minister Sacrament, nor exercise Discipline, nor do the duty either of Bishop, or of Priest, or of Deacon, or any other the meanest officer of the Church, but only take upon him to rule, and govern the whole Church: Onles there be some such one, then, saith M. Harding, God hath no providence, neither is careful for his Church.
