Rainoldes. King *Agesilaus, when one praised an Orator, that he could amplify things, and make them of small to seem great: I, saith he, would never count him a good shoemaker, who would put a great shoo upon a small foot. You play the Orator, M. Hart, with your amplifications: and that in such sort, as you pass the shoemaker of Agesilaus▪ For you do not only put a great shoo upon a small foot: but you stretch the leather with your •eeth too. And yet when you have wearied your self with stretching it: you will have stretched it in vain. For though your shoo be too great for the primacy of Peter, yet will it be too small for the supremacy of the Pope.
