taken of them for the seruice in the vulgare Tongue Of S. Ambroses wordes M. Harding reasoneth thus The 24. Example Iew. 246 Peter was the Chiefe of the Apostles Ergo the Pope is Head of the vniuersal Church This Argument would be better considered for as it is it holdeth but weakly Verely this is a weake Solution But let the Argument be better considered formed in those termes which D. Harding vseth S. Androw folowed our Sauior before y e S. Peter did Amb. 2. Co. 12. Har. 106. And yet Androw receiued not the Primacie but Peter ergo the Apostolike see Church of Rome hath the Primacie Consider you now what Answer you may deuise For this Argument doth not meddle with the question of the Apostles Preeminence emong themselues vnto which only you bringe it but of Primacie in y t Church of Christ ouer which though other Apostles were generall officers yet the supremacie was singularly in S. Peter Paule went vp to Hierusalem to visite Peter The 25. Example Iew. 253. Ergo the Bishope of Rome is Head of the Church Folishely Is it not tyme M. Iewel either that some Physitian or God hymselfe visite you either to purge you of that cuil humor which occupieth your heade Or to take vengeance of you which do so abuse your Readers in matters of so Great weight D. Harding hymselfe maketh no other Argument in this place but of Authoritie and the reason which he bringeth and you peruert is Theodoritus an Auncient Bishopes who writing to Pope Leo saieth thus Har. 108. If Paule the preacher of truth and trumpet of the Holy Ghost ranne to Peter to bring from hym A determination And declaration for them who at Antioche were in Argument and contention concerning lyuing after Moyses Law much more we which are but smal vile shal runne to your Throne Apostolike that of you we maie haue salue for the sores of the Churches Doe you then M. Iewel cal this goeing for determination in a doubtfull question nothing els but S. Paules visiting of S. Peter And would you haue it conceiued either that S. Peter was sicke there il at ease Or that for good willes sake and curtesie only S. Paule went to visite hym Byside this D. Harding groūded not his Conclusion vpon this argument but that rather which foloweth in Theodoritus which is this For in al thinges it is meete that you haue the cheife doinges Ergo it foloweth wel of Theodoritus authoritie that the Pope is supreme The Church of Christ is one Ergo the Pope is an vniuersal Bishope The 26. Eyample Iew. 255 That is an other question Which D. Harding went not about to proue by Natural Reason but his present conclusion is this A multitude can not continue ONE Har. 108. onlesse it be conteined and holden in by ONE But the Church continueth ONE Ergo it must haue ONE Heade or Gouernour Now whether the Bishope of Sarum or London or Rome or Constantinople c. shal be that One Head ouer al y e members of Christes mystical body in earth that may be afterwardes consydered but in y t meane tyme D. Har. goeth no further then Natural reason doth leade hym that in A greate multitude and cumpanie it is meete to haue One ouer the rest if thei shal be kept in Vnitie Mankynd dependeth most of sense The 27. Example Iew. 257 Vnsensible Ergo the Pope is the Heade of the Vniuersal Church Here is a very vnsensible Argument ▪ nor sense nor reason can make it good Why make you it then For D. Har. concludeth not so But whereas you in sayeing Christ only to be the Heade of the Churche would inferre that the Pope is not anie Heade at al in Answering this your obiection he declareth that mankynd dependeth moste of sense and receiueth al lerning and instruction of sensible thinges Har. 108. Ergo notwithstanding Christ be the cheife Heade yet because he lyueth not visiblie emong vs 109. the Church hath neede of a man to be her Gouernour whom she maie perceiue by owtward sense Which man whether he must be the Pope or no he commeth not so low in this place M. Hardinges reasons procede thus The 28. Example Iew. fol. 260. God is careful and hath special Prouidence for his Church Doubtful places of y t scriptures must be expoūded General Councels must he summoned Bishopes being at variance must he reconciled Ergo the Bishope of Rome is Christes General Vicar and Head of the Vniuersal Churche Ergo Indirectly saieth D. Har. by natural reason there must be One Heade in y e Churche and one chiefe seruant in y e howsehold of Christ Mary y t y ● Pope is he y t is out of the cumpasse of natural Reason which although it attaine vnto it that by most perfite waie of Gouernemēt there should be One heade Yet y t this or y t man should be he by her owne power she cā not bring it to passe therefore it was not directly so cōcluded of D. Har. in this place as M. Iewel ful peruersly gathereth This is a very poore helpe in deede The 29. Example Iew. 274. Fautlesse M. Harding here is faine to resemble the Bisshopes of Rome touching their doctrine to Balaam to Caiphas And to a Leaden Seale And touching their lyues to confesse False thei are Lampes without light The first is false through your reporting the seconde is fautlesse in D. Har. saieing Concerning doctrine he saieth that the See of Rome hath this singular Grace that he which sitteth in it is compelled to teach truthe like as Balaam and Caiphas were made to fulfill the blessed wil of God notwithstanding their falsehode and wickednesse The comparison therefore is not Ignominious to the Catholikes but must Glorious to the praise of God and most comfortable to the consciences of true Christians And it consisteth not as you report it M. Iewel spitefully enough in resembling the doctrine of the Bishopes of Rome to y e Persons of Balaam and Caiphas but in resembling the Prouidence Assistance and Grace of God Sophistrie in directing their doctrine vnto the like Spirite of Trueth and Prophecie as God hymselfe vttered by Balaā and Caiphas withowt their good wills In resembling also the doctrine of the B. of Rome not vnto the mater of a leadden Scale but vnto the Forme of a Seale which is as true in the basest metal as in the purest And so let the Bishop of Rome be as he wil his doeinges shal not let the working of God but as perfite a printe of his Truth shal be made with a Leaden Seale as a Golden Concerning now the other pointe of lampes withowt light he maketh not a General Rule nor saieth that y e Bishopes of Rome are so which worde you M. Iewel doe vse but sometyme saieth he the see hath failed in Charitie and it hath ben in case as it might truly
