But let us more narrowly examine Bonifacius argument: I (saith he) do give power unto Emperors. Therefore I am greater then Emperors. Let this most blessed Thraso answer me, who consecrated him when he was chosen Pope? Undoubtedly the bishop Hostiensis. Let us conclude therefore that the bishop Hostiensis is greater then the Pope. And if that follow not, then is the argument also of Bonifacius of no force, because (as I have now showed) it cleaveth unto a broken foundation. For they are not bishops which give power unto kings. Farther,1 were there not many Emperors which were never consecrated of bishops, and yet were nevertheless for all that Emperors? Neither were the old Grecian Emperors so anointed. Wherefore that is a new invention. But what if I prove that the head bishop was sometimes consecrated of the civill magistrate? Undoubtedly Moses consecrated Aaron, when as yet (as it is said) Moses was a civil prince. Wherefore Bonifacius laboureth in vain about his consecration, because he can ⟨p. 262⟩gather nothing thereby.
But let vs more narowly examine Bonifacius argumēt: I (sayth he) do geue power vnto Emperors. Therfore I am greater then Emperors. Let this most blessed Thraso aunswere me, who consecrated him when hee was chosen Pope? Vndoubtedly the bishop Hostiensis. Let vs conclude therfore that the bishop Hostiensis is greater then the Pope. And if that follow not, thē is the argument also of Bonifacius of no force, bicause (as I haue now shewed) it cleaueth vnto a broken foundation. For they are not bishops which geue power vnto kinges. Farther,1 wer there not many Emperors whiche were neuer consecrated of bishops, and yet were neuertheles for al that Emperors? Neither were the old Grecian Emperors so annointed. Wherfore that is a new inuētiō. But what if I proue that the head bishop was somtimes consecrated of the ciuill magistrat? Vndoubtedly Moses cōsecrated Aaron, whē as yet (as it is sayd) Moses was a ciuil prince. Wherfore Bonifacius laboreth in vayne about his consecration, bicause he canne ⟨p. 262⟩gather nothing thereby.
