1Howbeit Bernardus in his .4. book de Consider. ad Eugenium, semeth to interpret the two swords. I grant that Bernard hath certain things like unto this, but yet not utterly the same. But we must remember, in what time Bernardus lived. He lived at that time, wherein all things were corrupted in the Church, and if a man read those his books de Consideratione, he shall see that he grievously complaineth of the corruption of his time. Eugenius was by the Romans excluded the City, and peradventure he meditated by violence to restore himself. Wherefore Bernard exhorted them to preach the Gospel, to deal against the Romans with the word and with Sermons, rather then with the sword. Eugenius said: what wilt thou have? That I should feed Serpents and Dragons and Beasts? Yea rather assail them saith Bernard with the word, & not with iron. And in an other place he saith: If thou wilt have both swords, thou shalt leese both. Neither is it to be thought that Eugenius would by himself have fought, but peradventure he assayed to move war by other, from which purpose Bernard dissuaded him. And thus much of him.
1Howbeit Bernardus in his .4. booke de Consider. ad Eugenium, semeth to interprete the two swordes. I graunt that Bernard hath certaine thinges lyke vnto this, but yet not vtterly the same. But we must remember, in what tyme Bernardus lyued. He liued at that time, wherein all thinges were corrupted in the Church, and if a man reade those his bokes de Consideratione, he shal se that he grieuously complaineth of the corruption of his time. Eugenius was by the Romanes excluded the City, and peraduenture he meditated by violence to restore himselfe. Wherefore Bernard exhorted them to preache the Gospell, to deale aganst the Romanes with the woorde and with Sermons, rather then wyth the sword. Eugenius said: what wilt thou haue? That I should feede Serpentes and Dragons and Beastes? Yea rather assayle them saith Bernard with the woord, & not with iron. And in an other place he saith: If thou wilt haue both swordes, thou shalt leese both. Neither is it to be thought that Eugenius would by himself haue fought, but peraduenture he assayed to moue warre by other, from whiche purpose Bernard disswaded him. And thus much of him.
