Vincentius in his book that he calleth Speculum writeth thus: 1After Gregory was dead, Bonifacius ruled the Church of Rome. This Bonifacius obtained of the Emperor Phocas, that the Church of Rome should be the head of all Churches, and that because the Church of Constantinople wrote it self by that title. The next year after that Augustine that was called the English mens Bishop,2 died. The year following John the Almoner was in great fame, at which time also Mahomet first spread his Religion in Arabia. The same computation of years appeareth in Freculphus, Sabellicus, Palmerius, and others. Wherefore M. Harding might well have spared this tale, as nothing else but bewraying his want of better matter, and proving that his Mass is of the very age of Mahomet.
