Rainoldes. Not in Austin only, but in Cyprian too, as your dPamelius hath observed: & that even in this treatise touching the unity of the church. But whether I have reason to say, that the words (whereof we speak) in Cyprian, might come into the text out of the margin-note: I leave it to be judged by reasonable men upon the view of the circumstances. The written copy (cited by ePamelius him self) which Cardinal Hosius occupied, convinceth it most plainly, for the chiefest of them. For there, after the speech of Christ unto Peter, alleged out of Matthew, these words are interlaced, Hic Petro primatus datur, Here the primacy is given unto Peter. Which to have been noted by some in the margin, it is so manifest, that neither the Roman-print nor the Antwerp could bring them into Cyprian's text, but either by changing or leaving out the word [Here:] fthe one hath changed it into the word▪ [And,] gthe other hath left it out. That the rest of [one chair] crept in by like stealth: it is very probable, though harder to convince. But the last of [sticking unto Peters chair] added by Pamelius, do seem to have leapt into the text suddenly, before the margin saw them. For, they are written not only in the copy of the Cambron-abbey, but in Gratian too. And thereupon Pamelius saith that he was bold to put them into Cyprian's text. Now shall the Fathers be well amended shortly, if you amend them out of Gratian: a man, who in favour of the Popes State hath forged and falsified the writings of the Fathers most lewdly and shamefully. Know you not his famous abusing of S. Austin hwhom he hath made to say, that ⟨p. 215⟩*the decretal epistles (as you term them) of the Popes are counted in the number of the Canonical Scriptures? Howbeit, if he have not abused Cyprian so: yet he rather hurteth then helpeth the corrections of your new prints. For, where
