But it is a sport to bear the arguments,1 which these false Ecclesiastical men use. In Etravag. de Maioritate et Obedientia, chap. Unam sanctam, Bonifacius the .viii. (whom they say entered in as a Fox, reigned like a Lion, and dyed like a Dog) saith that there are two swords in the Church. And least he should seem to speak it rashly, he citeth these words out of the .xxii. chap. of Luke: when I sent you without bag or scrip, did ye at any time want any thing? They said unto him: No. Christ added: But now I say unto you, let every man take his scrip and wallet, and he which hath none, let him sell his coat and bye a sword. They said unto him: Behold here are two swords. Christ answered, it is sufficient. Bonifacius saith: Two swords are sufficient for the Church, namely the spiritual sword and the temporal. Wherefore they which say that Peter had not an outward sword, do seem not to understand the words of Christ, wherein he said: Put up thy sword into the sheath. Thy sword (saith he) and not an other mans. For he had a sword of his own, although he were bidden to put it up.
But it is a sporte to beare the argumentes,1 whiche these false Ecclesiasticall men vse. In Etrauag. de Maioritate et Obedientia, chap. Vnam sanctam, Bonifacius the .viii. (whom they say entred in as a Foxe, raigned like a Lion, and dyed like a Dog) saith that there are two swordes in the Church. And least he should seeme to speake it rashly, he citeth these woordes out of the .xxii. chap. of Luke: whē I sent you without bag or scrip, did ye at any time want any thing? They said vnto him: No. Christ added: But now I saye vnto you, let euerye man take his scrippe and wallet, and he which hath none, let him sell his coate and bye a swoord. They said vnto him: Behold here are two swoordes. Christ answered, it is sufficient. Bonifacius saith: Two swoordes are sufficient for the Churche, namely the spiritual sword and the temporal. Wherefore they whiche say that Peter had not an outward swoord, do seeme not to vnderstand the woordes of Christ, wherein he sayd: Put vp thy swoord into the sheath. Thy swoorde (sayth he) and not an other mans. For he had a swoord of his owne, although he were bidden to put it vp.
