Unto M. Doctor asking where it appeareth that Pope Eugensus brought in prisons into the Church, as also vnto the three or fower such like demands▪ which he maketh in this booke, the authours of the Admonition answer at once, that this, and the other are found in Pantaleon, and M. Bales Chronicles.
What authors doe they alleadge for them? for bothe these be but very late wri∣ters, and this is a matter of historie, and therfore requireth some greate antiquitie nerer vnto the tyme of Eugenius, who liued Anno. 650. but you knowe verie well that our Bishops claim not this authoritie by any constitution or canon of the Pope: neither doe they exercise it in their owne name: but they haue it from the Prince, and in hir name, and by hir authoritie do they vse it.
