This is nothing (saith Pope Pius) I can dispense with it, I am able to dispense against the law of nature, against the Canons of the Apostles, against the new Testament: I can dispense for all things done contrary to the commandments of the old and new Testament: I can dispense against the law of God. I am above all general Councils, my will must be kept for a law. And doth he only say this? Or shall we think they be words of reverence, written by such as are devout to his holiness, and that he doth not so much as he may by virtue of his special privilege? Who was it y• gave a dispensation to the brother, y• he might marry his own sister? Who was it that gave dispensation to Henry the fifth to rise up against Henry the fourth his own father, and put him from the Empire? What dispensation Pope Pius sent to King Philip God knoweth, but the young Prince the Kings son lost his life. I know not what dispensation past lately ⟨p. 104⟩into Scotland, but the King was strangled, &c.
