Rainoldes. That you may see how *the Lord doth sheath the swords of Midianites in their own sides, to the confusion of them who pitch their camp against Israel. For the same Popes which are alleged by Canus to prove that their supremacy is an unwritten truth; the very same Popes are alleged by Stapleton to prove that it is written: even Anacletus, Victor, ⟨p. 458⟩Zepherinus, Marcellus, Melchiades, and Julius. Yea, and that is more, the very same epistles of theirs are alleged by Stapleton, which by Canus. If rightly by Canus: how may we trust Stapleton? If rightly by Stapleton; how may we trust Canus? If rightly by them both: what trim Popes are they, who with one breath do say that the same thing is both written and unwritten? Yet Father Robert dealeth wiselier, and like a Jesuit: who seeing the danger of naming special men and places, doth shroud himself in the general of Councils, Popes, and Fathers. As if an horse-stealer being to give account of whom and where he got his horses, should say that he bought them of incorporations, horse-coursers, and honest men within Christendom.
