But mark well,1 gentle Reader: and thou shalt see, that M. Harding hath prettily wrested up this place of S. Ambrose quite out of tune, and of an Indefinite, or a Particular Proposition, contrary to his rules of Logic, will needs conclude an Universal, the better to maintain the Popes Universal power. For that S. Ambrose speaketh indefinitely of a Church, without limitation of one, or other, that M. Harding stretcheth, & forceth to the whole Universal Church: as if the whole Church of God had been at Rome. The like kind of error lead Boni•acius the2 .8. to reason thus, Dominus dixit generaliter, Pasce oves meas, non singulariter has, aut illas: Ergo, commisisse intelligitur Universas. The Lord said generally unto ⟨p. 306⟩Peter,3 Feed my sheep: he said not specially, Feed these, or them: Therefore we must understand, that he committed them unto Peter altogether. If M. Harding had not taken S. Ambrose up so short, by the words that immediately follow, he might well have known his meaning. For thus he openeth, what he meant by the House of God:4 Ibi necesse est dicatur esse Domus Dei, & veritas, ubi secundum voluntatem suam timetur. There we must needs say, God's House, and Trueth is, wheresoever God is feared according to his will. This house was in all places, where God was known, and served: and not only in the Church of Rome.

For that S. Ambrose speaketh indefinitely of a Churche, without limitation of one, or other, that M. Hardinge streatcheth, & forceth to the whole Uniuersal Churche: as if the whole Churche of God had benne at Rome. The like kinde of erroure leadde Boniacius the
