A detection of sundrie foule errours, lies, sclaunders, corruptions, and other false dealinges, touching doctrine, and other matters vttered and practized by M.Iewel, in a booke lately by him set foorth entituled, a defence of the apologie. &c. By Thomas Harding doctor of diuinitie.

Iewel.

And yet Chrysostome saith, Qui non vtitur Sacra Scriptura, sed ascendit aliunde, id est, non concessa via, hic non Pastor est,* 1.1 sed fur. VVhosoeuer vseth not the holy Scripture, but cōmeth in an other vvaie, that is not lavvful (vvhiche is by false Gloses, and corruptions) he is not the Shephearde of the flocke, he is the theefe.

Harding. M. Iewel in reasoning suppresseth that, wherein the proufe resteth: so his argumentes must be weake and vaine.

* 1.2You laie forth many solemne Maiors diuers times, as this out of S. Chrysostome, and thereupon without either laying forth of the Minor, or proufe thereof (notwith∣standing the whole matter on your behalfe to be proued standeth in the Minor) you vse to inferre your seely Con∣clusions. As here you reason after this wise. Who so euer vseth not the holy Scripture, but commeth in from an other where, that is to saie, by a waie not lawful (for so S. Chry∣sostome speaketh, and not as you haue falsified him) he is not the shephearde of the flocke: Ergo, the Pope is not the shephearde of the flocke. How proueth M. Iewel this ar∣gument with al the Logique he hath? Had it not ben reason,* 1.3 he had first proued, that the Pope vseth not the holy Scripture, neither commeth in according to the Scripture, but that he commeth in by some other vnlaw∣ful waie, whiche ought to haue ben his Minor? This bi∣cause he sawe he was not hable to proue, he thought it good policie to suppresse it with silence.

But let the question be asked of S. Chrysostome, who vseth holy Scripture better, he that saith, that the charge of the whole worlde was committed to Peter (and conse∣quently to his successours) as the same Chrysostom saith: or he, that denieth flatly, that any suche thing maie be concluded out of the Scripture.

It is to true, that you bring in of S. Augustine, that the note, or marke of a Bisshop many geue vnto Wolues, and

be Wolues them selues. You had neuer the true Character of a Bishop, being neuer lawfully consecrated by three lawful Bishoppes, as the holy Canons require: and yet you beare your selfe for a Bishop, and vsurpe Bishoply office: therefore you are one of the Wolues, that S. Augustine spake of. Leaue rauening, and deceiuing of Goddes people, and become penitent, that you maie be saued with the meeke shepe of Christes flocke, and not be damned euerlastingly with the rauening Wolues.
