Hart. These things are small the most of them, and used to increase a reverend estimation and opinion of that See, to the which our Saviour committed the principality and government of his church. As for the points that seem greater in the words of Leo: they may be defended. For where he sayeth, that Christ took Peter into the fellowship of the indivisible unity: he might mean unity in will not in substance, as Christ doth pray for his disciples, uHoly father, keep them in thy name, that they may be one, as we are. Where he doth honour Peter with the title of my Lord: it is a common title, and given men of state both spiritual and temporal: yea xMary Magdalen called him Lord (the word *in Latin is the same) whom she supposed to be a gardiner. The like might be said for the defence of the rest: with as great probability and perhaps greater, then you have to mislike them.
