Rainoldes. The comparison is un-even when you say, that the Popes them selves never saw books in their own library, ⟨p. 515⟩thereby to show, that many books might be there, which Jerome and Eusebius knew not. For it is likely that the Popes have many books which they see not: they have other things to look on. But Eusebius and Jerome did study through libraries, to see all the authors which were extant in them. So that they were as likely to know the epistles of the former Popes, as Turrian these of the later. For Turrian doth not search old monuments more carefully to see up the Pope, then Jerome and Eusebius did to set forth Christ. But whatsoever Jerome or Eusebius saw: think you not that the Popes, as little as they see the books in their library, yet, if the sight of any thereof could avail them toward the recovering of their supremacy in England, they would find it quickly?
Rainoldes. The comparison is vn-euen when you say, that the Popes them selues neuer saw bookes in their owne librarie, ⟨p. 515⟩thereby to shew, that many bookes might be there, which Ierom and Eusebius knew not. For it is likely that the Popes haue many bookes which they sée not: they haue other thinges to looke on. But Eusebius and Ierom did study through libraries, to see all the autours which were extant in them. So that they were as likely to know the epistles of the former Popes, as Turrian these of the later. For Turrian doth not search olde monumentes more carefully to see vp the Pope, then Ierom and Eusebius did to set foorth Christ. But whatsoeuer Ierom or Eusebius saw: thinke you not that the Popes, as litle as they sée the bookes in their librarie, yet, if the sight of any thereof could auaile them toward the recouering of their supremacy in England, they would finde it quickly?
