The B. of Sarisburie.
Wée flatter our Princes, M. Hardinge, as Nathan flattered Kinge Dauid: as
Iohn Baptiste flattered Herode: as S. Ambrose flattered Theodosius, and as
salte flattereth the gréene soare. In déede wée despise not the Minister of God, as
sundrie of your felowes haue vsed to doe:* 1.1 of whom one doubteth not to saie, The
Pope is the Heade: and Kinges, and Emperours are the Feete. An other saithe,
The Prieste is so farre aboue the Kinge, as a Man is aboue a Beaste. Sutche
woordes of contempt, and villanie we haue not vsed. Wée yelde to the Kinge, that
is dewe to the Kinge: wée yelde to God, that is dewe to God. Wée saie to the
Prince,* 1.2 as S. Ambrose sommetime saide to the Emperoure Valentinian: Noli te
grauare Imperator, vt putes te in ea, quae Diuina sunt, Imperiale aliquod ius habe∣re:
descriptionPage 591
Trouble not your selfe,* 1.3my Lorde, to thinke, that you haue any Princely Power ouer those
thinges, that perteine to God.
But if they be flatterers, that humbly aduertise, & directe theire Liege Princes
by the Woorde of God,* 1.4what are they then, that saie, as you saie, Totus Mundus
non potest accusare Papam: Nemo potest dicere Papae, Domine cur ita facis?
Sacrilegij instar esset, disputare de facto Papae: Dominus Deus noster Papa: pa∣papotest,
quicquid Deus ipse Potest: The whole world maie not accuse the Pope: No
ma•• maie saie to the Pope, Sir, why doo yee thus? It were a sinne as bodde as Sacrilege, to di∣spute
of any the Popes doinges: Our Lorde God the Pope: The Pope maie doo, what
so euer God him selfe maie doo. These, these, M. Hardinge, and a thousand other your
like speaches maie séeme sommewhat to smel of flatterie.
