Rainoldes. Wherein they could not err, as you heard say at nRhemes. But you who distinguish the office of the Popes from their personal faith and gifts in this sort, must be put in mind that by the same reason oSergius the Patriarch of Constantinople sought to Pope Honorius, in respect not of his personal wisdom, virtue, learning or faith, but of his office too. And so shall your self be forced to confess, that either the Pope may err in consultations, which he dealeth with by reason of his office, as Pope Honorius did: or, the Fathers seeking to the Popes for counsel, did seek in respect of their personal gifts, that they were learned and godly Pastors; as pmany sought to Austin then, qto Calvin lately, though neither of them were Pope.
