The Apologie, Cap. 6. Diuision. 12.

Whiche of the Anciente Holy Fathers euer saide, that you are not a mere Natural man, but a certaine Substance made, & growen to∣geather, of God and Man?

M. Hardinge.

Can you bring him before his face,* 1.1 that shall saie so vnto him? I warrant you (ma••ster Defender) he shal either be reproued for his flattering, or proued to vnderstāde no more by it, then* 1.2 a certaine di∣uine power aboue the Naturall state of men,‡ 1.3 or warned, that he be more circūspecte in his glosinge, when Heretikes are ready to slaunder the whole Churche, because of one Priuate mans affection.

The B. of Sacrisburie.

He that maie cal him selfe, Lorde, and God, maie easily Claime him selfe to be more,* 1.4 then a man. In y^e Popes owne Decretalles, it is noted thus in the Margine, Papa nō est Homo: The Pope is not a Man. Your Glose vpon the Popes owne clementines, allegeth these woordes out of one of your allowed Poëtes, Papa stu∣por Mundi: The Pope is the Woonder of the Worlde. And againe, Nec Deus es, nec Homo: quasi neuter es inter Vtrun{que} ••hou arte neither God, nor Man: In a manner Thou arte neither of bothe: but rather a meane bitweene bothe.

By the Authoritie of this Doctoure, it appeareth, that the Pope is neither God, nor Man. Angel, I trowe, he is not. What other Creature ye maie make of him, I leaue to you further, to consider.
