That wee haue seditiously fallen from the Catholique Churche and by a wicked schisme and diuision haue shaken the whole worlde and troubled the common peace and vniuersal quiet of the Churche that as Dathan and Abiron conspired in times past against Moyses and Aaron euen so wee at this daye haue renounced the Bishop of Rome without any cause reasonable M. Hardinge Before Luthers time al Christen people came togeather peaceably into one Churche vnder one Heade as Shepe into one folde vnder one Shepeherd and so liued Vnanimes in domo in one accorde But after that Sathā who at the beginninge begyled Eue had persuaded some to taste of the poisoned apple of Luthers Newe Doctrine they went out frō vs who were not of vs for if they had ben of vs they had remained with vs forsooke the Catholike Churche of Christ sorted them selues into Synagoges of Antichriste withdrewe them selues from obedience to warde theire Pastor and Iudge and sundred them selues into diuerse Sectes This schisme diuision and conspiracie against the Head Shepherd is nolesse wicked then that of Dathan and Abiron against Moyses and Aaron was For as God commaunded Moyses and Aaron to be obeyed of the children of Israel so Christe cōmaunded al his Shepe to obeye and heare the voice of him whom in Peter and succedinge Peter he made Shepeherd ouer his whole stocke The B. of Sarisburie Before the time that Goddes Holy wil was that Doctour Luther should begin to publishe the Gospel of Christe there was a general quietnesse I graunte sutche as is in the night season when folke be asleape Yet I thinke to continewe sutche quietnesse no wise man wil wish to sleepe stil Ye saye They haue forsaken the Catholique Churche They went from vs. who were not of vs. Nay rather M.

Iohn in whiche whole Chapter notwithstandinge ye are not able to finde neither any suche commaundement of Christe nor any mention of Peters Successour nor Al his Shéepe nor Shepheard ouer his whole Flocke nor Our Pastour nor Our Iudge nor Our Head-shepheard It is mutche to reporte Vntruthe of a man But to reporte Vntruthe of Christe and of his Holy Woorde and that willingly and witingly and without feare some menne thinke it to be the Sinne against the Holy Ghoste As for these woordes Feede my Sheepe Feede my Lammes they perteine as wel to other the Apostles as to Peter Christe saide generally to al his Disciples Goe ye into al the worlde and preache the Gospel And Paule saithe of him selfe Ego plus omnibus laboraui I haue taken more paines and more fedde the flock then al the rest Surely me thinketh it is a weake kinde of reasoninge to saie thus Christe bade Peter féede his shéepe Ergo he made him headshepheard ouer al the worlde But if this whole Prerogatiue hange of Féedinge the Flocke what then if the Pope Féede not What if he neuer minde to Féede as thinkinge it no parte of his office To

Hardinge Ye are not fallen from the Bishop of Rome onely whiche were a damnable schisme but ye are fallen from Christes Churche Your comparison of the Pope with kinge Nahas is not very agreable But sirs ye speake more maliciously then credibly Be ye good Christen men and conforme your selues to the Catholique Faithe and denie Christe and his Gospel For this also yee shoulde haue added and I warrant you the Pope wil not plucke from you neither the Scriptures nor your confidence in Christe Iesu no more then he dooth from vs. The Apologie Cap. 20. Diuision 3. For whereas somme vse to make so greate a vaunte that the Pope is onely Peters Successour as though thereby he carried the Holy Ghoste in his bosome cannot erre this is but a mater of nothing a very trifelinge tale Gods Grace is promised to a good minde and to any one that feareth him not vnto Sees Successiōs Richesse saithe S. Hierome maie make a Bishop to be of more might then the reste but al the Bishoppes whosoeuer they be are the Successours of the Apostles If so be the Place and Consecration onely be sufficient why then Manasses Succeded Dauid and Caiphas Succeded Aaron And it hath benne often seene that an Idol hath benne placed in the Temple of God In olde time Archidamus the Lacedemonian boasted mutche of him selfe howe he came of the bloud of Hercules But one Nicostratus in this wise abated his pride Nay quod he thou seemest not to descende from Hercules For Hercules destroied euil menne and thou makest good menne euil And when the Phariseis bragged of their linage howe they were of the kinred and bloude of Abraham Ye saithe Christe seeke to kil me a manne vvhiche haue tolde you the truthe as I hearde it from God Thus Abraham neuer did Yee are of youre Father the Diuel and vvil needes obeie his vvil M. Hardinge The Pope succedeth Peter in auctoritie and power For whereas the Shepe of Christe continewe to the worldes ende he is not wise that thinketh Christe to haue made a shepeherde temporarie or for a time ouer his perpetual flocke Then what shepeherdly endoument our Lorde gaue to the firste shepeherde at the institution of the shepeherdely office of the Churche that is he vnderstanded to haue geeuen ordinarely to euery successour To Peter he gaue that he obteined by his praier made to the Father that his Faithe should not faile Againe to him he gaue grace that to performe the performance whereof at him he required to witte that he confirmed and strengthened his brethren wherefore the grace of stedfastnesse of Faithe and of confirminge the waueringe and doubtful in Faithe euery Pope obteineth of the holy Ghoste for the benefite of the Churche And so the Pope although he maie erre by personal erroure in his owne priuate iudgemente as a man and as a particular Doctour in his owne opinion yet as he is Pope the successour of Peter the Vicar of Christe in earthe the shepeherde of the vniuersal Churche in publique iudgemente in deliberation and definitiue sentence he neuer erreth nor neuer erred For when so euer he ordeineth or determineth any thinge by his highe Bishoply Auctoritie intendinge to binde Christen menne to performe or beleue the same he is alwaies gouerned and holpen with the grace and fauour of the holy Ghoste This is to Catholique Doctours a very certaintie though to sutche doughty Clerkes as ye are it is but a mater of nothinge and a very triflinge tale Gods grace in one respecte is promised bothe to a good minde and to one that feareth God and also in an other respect to the successours of Peter S.
