Hart. Well. If the words agree not to the Pope perhaps in one sense: they may in an other. For there are sundry senses of the holy scriptures, but in general two, as hFather Robert showeth whereof the one is called historical, or literal; the other, mystical, or spiritual. And so the speech of Christ touching one Pastor, might signify the Pope in a mystical sense, though not in the literal. As likewise the name of high priest, signifying the Jewish literally, doth mystically betoken him.
