And if any can show me one man in these times / of whom we may be assured / that he will pronounce the truth of every question which shall arise / he shall make me somewhat more favourable to the archbishop / then presently I am. For although there were found one such as could not err / yet I could not consent that the matter should lye only upon his hand / seeing that the apostles which could not err in these matters / would not take that upon them / and seeing that by that means the judgement of the church should be contemned / and further / for that the judgement of one man in a controversy / is not so strong to pull up errors that are rooted in mens minds / as the judgement and consent of many. For / that the judgement of many is very apt either to confirm a truth / or to confute falsehood / it is evident that S. Paul doth hold forth / as it were a buckler ¹against the frowardness of certain / the authority of the church.
