The
exaltation
of
Popes
aboue
Kings
and
Emperours
out
of
Histories
.
FIrst
,
after
that
Italy
and
the
citie
of
Rome
were
overrunne
by
the
Gothes
and
Vandals
,
so
that
the
seate
of
the
Empyre
was
remooved
to
Constantinople
,
then
beganne
Ioannes
Patriarch
of
Constantinople
,
to
put
foorth
himselfe
,
and
would
needs
bee
called
vniversall
Bishop
of
the
world
:
but
the
Bishop
of
Rome
in
no
case
would
suffer
that
,
and
stopped
it
.
After
this
came
the
Emperours
deputy
,
and
Exarch
of
Ravenna
to
rule
Italy
:
but
the
Bishop
of
Rome
,
through
ayde
of
the
King
of
Lombards
sone
quailed
him
.
Not
long
after
about
the
yeare
of
the
LORD
fyue
hundreth
,
came
Phocas
the
murthrer
,
who
slew
the
Emperour
of
Constantinople
his
master
Maureits
and
his
children
.
By
which
Phocas
,
the
Bishops
of
old
Rome
aspyred
first
to
their
preheminence
,
to
bee
counted
the
head
Bishops
over
the
whole
Church
,
and
so
together
with
the
Lombardes
beganne
to
rule
the
Citie
of
Rome
:
Afterwards
when
the
Lombardes
would
not
yeeld
to
him
,
in
accomplishing
his
ambitious
desire
,
but
would
needs
requyre
of
the
Bishop
the
said
Citie
of
Rome
:
hee
stirred
vp
Pipinus
,
but
first
deposed
Childericus
the
King
of
France
,
and
so
thrusting
him
into
an
Abbey
,
set
vp
in
his
place
Pipinus
and
his
sonne
Carolus
Magnus
,
to
put
downe
the
said
King
of
Lombardes
called
Aistulphus
:
and
so
translated
the
Empyre
from
Constantinople
to
France
,
divyding
the
spoyle
betweene
him
and
them
:
so
that
the
Kings
of
France
,
had
all
the
possessions
and
lands
which
before
belonged
to
the
Empyre
,
and
hee
to
receiue
of
them
the
quyet
possession
of
the
citie
of
Rome
,
with
such
donations
and
Lordships
,
which
now
they
challenge
vnto
them
,
vnder
the
name
of
S.
Peters
patrimonie
,
which
they
falsely
ascrybe
to
that
donation
of
Constantinus
the
great
.
It
followed
then
in
processe
of
time
,
after
the
dayes
of
Pipinus
,
Carolus
,
and
Lodovicus
,
(
who
had
indued
these
Bishops
of
Rome
,
called
now
Popes
,
with
large
possessions
)
when
the
King
of
France
were
not
applyable
to
their
becke
,
to
ayde
and
maintaine
them
against
the
Princes
of
Italy
,
who
began
then
to
push
the
saides
Bishops
for
their
wrongfull
vsurped
goods
,
they
practised
with
the
Germans
,
to
redact
the
Empyre
to
Otho
,
first
of
that
name
Duke
of
Spaine
,
referring
the
election
thereof
to
seven
Princes
electors
of
Germany
,
which
was
about
Anno
1002.
Notwithstanding
reserving
still
in
his
hands
the
negatiue
voyce
,
thinking
thereby
to
enjoy
that
they
had
,
in
quyetnesse
and
securitie
,
and
so
did
for
a
good
space
.
At
length
when
some
of
these
Germane
Emperours
also
,
after
Otho
beganne
a
little
to
spurne
against
the
said
Bishops
and
Popes
of
Rome
,
some
of
them
they
accursed
,
some
they
subdued
and
brought
to
the
kissing
of
their
feete
,
some
they
deposed
,
and
placed
others
in
their
possessions
.
So
was
Henricus
4.
by
these
Bishops
accursed
,
the
Emperour
himselfe
forced
with
his
wife
and
chyld
,
to
waite
attendance
vpon
the
Popes
pleasure
three
dayes
and
three
nights
in
Winter
at
the
gates
of
Canossus
.
Besids
all
this
the
said
Pope
raised
vp
Rodolpus
to
bee
Emperour
against
him
:
who
being
slaine
in
warre
,
then
the
said
Pope
Gregory
7.
not
resisting
this
,
stirred
vp
his
owne
sonne
Henricus
5.
to
fight
against
his
owne
naturall
father
,
to
depose
him
,
which
Henricus
5.
was
also
himselfe
accursed
afterward
,
and
excommunicated
,
and
the
Saxons
at
last
set
vp
by
the
Bishops
to
fight
against
him
.
After
this
the
Emperours
began
to
bee
somewhat
calmed
,
and
more
quyet
,
suffering
the
Bishops
to
reigne
as
they
listed
,
till
Fredericke
the
first
called
Barbarossa
came
,
and
beganne
to
stirre
coales
against
them
.
Howbeit
they
hampered
both
him
and
his
sonne
Henry
in
such
sort
,
that
they
brought
first
the
necke
of
Frederick
in
the
Church
of
Venice
,
vnder
their
feete
to
tread
vpon
:
and
after
that
the
said
Bishops
crowning
Henricus
his
sonne
in
the
Church
of
S.
Peter
,
set
his
crowne
vpon
his
head
with
their
feete
,
&
with
their
feete
spurned
it
off
againe
,
to
make
him
know
that
the
Popes
of
Rome
had
power
both
to
crowne
Emperours
,
and
depose
them
againe
.
Then
followed
Philippus
brother
to
Henry
aforesaid
,
whom
also
the
Popes
accursed
,
about
the
yeare
of
our
LORD
1198.
and
set
vp
Otho
Duke
of
Saxon.
But
when
the
said
Otho
began
to
bee
so
saucie
to
dispossesse
the
Bishops
of
their
cities
and
lands
,
which
they
had
incrotched
into
their
bands
,
they
could
not
beare
that
,
but
incontinent
they
put
him
besides
the
cusheon
.
The
like
also
fell
vpon
Otho
the
4.
that
followed
after
Philip
,
who
was
suffered
no
longer
then
foure
yeares
to
reigne
,
about
the
yeare
of
the
LORD
1209.
At
this
time
Fredericus
2.
the
sonne
of
Fredericus
Barbarossa
,
was
but
young
,
whom
the
Bishops
of
Rome
supposing
to
finde
more
mortified
and
tamed
to
their
hand
,
advanced
to
bee
Emperour
after
his
father
:
But
that
fell
out
much
contrarie
to
their
expectation
:
for
hee
perceiving
the
immoderate
pompe
and
pryde
of
the
Romane
Bishops
,
which
hee
could
in
no
case
abyde
,
so
netled
them
,
and
cut
their
combs
,
and
waxed
so
stout
against
them
,
intending
to
extirpe
their
tyranie
and
to
reduce
their
pompous
riches
to
the
state
and
condition
of
the
primitiue
Church
againe
,
putting
some
of
them
to
flight
,
and
prisoning
some
of
their
Cardinals
,
that
of
three
Popes
,
one
after
another
hee
was
accursed
,
circumvented
by
tieason
,
at
last
deposed
,
and
after
that
poysoned
,
and
last
forsaken
and
died
.
After
this
Frederick
followed
his
sonne
Conradus
,
whom
the
foresaid
Bishops
for
his
disobedience
soone
dispatched
,
exciting
against
him
in
mortall
warre
the
Lantgraue
of
Thuring
,
whereby
at
length
hee
was
driven
into
his
Kingdome
of
Naples
,
and
there
deceast
.
This
Conradus
had
a
sonne
called
Conradinus
,
Duke
and
Prince
of
Swevill
,
where
this
Conradinus
after
the
decease
of
his
father
,
came
to
enjoy
the
Kingdome
of
Naples
.
The
Bishops
stirred
vp
against
him
,
Charles
the
French
Kings
brother
in
such
sort
,
that
through
craftie
conveyance
,
both
Conradinus
which
descended
of
the
blood
of
so
many
Emperours
,
and
also
Frederik
Duke
of
Austria
,
were
both
taken
,
and
after
much
wretched
handling
in
their
miserable
indurance
vnseeming
to
their
state
,
at
length
were
both
brought
vnder
the
axe
,
by
the
Popes
procurement
,
and
so
both
beheaded
:
and
thus
ended
the
imperiall
stocke
of
Frederik
the
first
surnamed
Barbarossa
.
The
like
also
happened
to
Frederik
the
Emperour
,
had
almost
fallen
vpon
Philip
the
French
King
,
by
Pope
Boniface
8.
who
because
hee
could
not
haue
his
commodities
and
revenewes
out
of
France
after
his
will
,
sent
out
his
bils
and
letters
patents
to
displace
King
Philip
aforesaid
,
and
to
possesse
Albertus
King
of
Romans
in
his
rowme
.
And
this
hitherto
of
forraine
stories
:
Now
touching
our
countrie
Princes
heere
in
England
,
so
speake
somewhat
likewayes
of
them
:
did
not
Pope
Alexander
the
third
presumptuously
taking
vpon
him
where
hee
had
nothing
to
doe
to
intermeddle
with
the
Kings
subjects
.
For
the
death
of
Becket
the
rebell
,
albeit
the
King
fusficiently
cleared
himselfe
thereof
,
yet
notwithstanding
did
he
not
wrongfully
bring
the
said
King
Henry
2.
to
such
pennance
as
it
pleased
him
to
enjoyne
,
and
also
violently
constrained
him
to
sweare
obedience
to
the
Sea
of
Rome
.
The
like
also
was
shewed
before
in
this
storie
to
happen
to
King
Iohn
his
sonne
,
for
when
the
said
King
like
a
valiant
Prince
,
had
held
out
the
tyrranie
of
those
Bishops
eleven
yeares
together
,
was
not
all
the
Churches
of
England
barred
vp
,
and
his
inheritance
with
all
his
dominions
given
away
by
Pope
Innocent
the
3.
to
Lodovicus
the
French
King
,
and
he
afterward
compelled
to
submit
both
himselfe
,
and
to
make
his
whole
Realme
fedetary
to
the
Bishops
of
Rome
,
and
moreover
,
the
King
himselfe
driven
also
to
surrander
his
Crowne
to
Pandulphus
the
Popes
Legate
:
and
so
continued
a
privat
person
,
5
dayes
standing
at
the
Popes
courtesie
whether
to
receive
it
againe
or
not
?
And
when
the
Nobles
of
the
Realme
rose
afterward
against
the
King
for
the
same
,
was
not
hee
then
glad
to
seeke
and
sue
to
the
foresaid
Pope
for
succour
,
as
by
his
owne
letter
,
taken
out
of
the
publicke
rolles
may
appeare
.
The
image
of
Antichrist
exalting
himselfe
in
the
Temple
of
GOD
,
aboue
all
that
is
named
God
,
out
of
his
owne
decrees
,
decretals
extravagants
,
pontificals
,
word
for
word
as
it
is
out
of
the
said
bookes
heere
alledged
and
quotted
.
FOR
as
much
as
it
standeth
vpon
necessity
of
salvation
,
for
everie
bumane
creature
to
bee
subject
to
mee
the
Pope
of
Rome
.
It
shall
bee
therefore
requisite
and
necessary
for
all
men
that
will
bee
saved
,
to
learne
and
know
the
dignitie
of
my
Sea
and
excellencie
of
my
dominion
,
as
heere
is
set
foorth
according
to
the
trueth
and
very
works
of
my
owne
lawes
,
in
style
as
followeth
.
2.
First
my
institution
began
in
the
old
Testament
,
and
was
consummate
and
finished
in
the
New
,
in
that
my
Preift-hood
was
prefigurated
by
Aaron
:
and
other
Bishops
vnder
me
were
prefigured
by
the
sonnes
of
Aaron
,
that
were
vnder
him
.
3.
Neither
is
it
to
bee
thought
that
my
Church
of
Rome
hath
beene
preferred
by
any
generall
Councill
,
but
obtained
the
Primacy
onely
by
the
voyce
of
the
Ghospell
,
and
the
mouth
of
the
Saviour
.
4.
And
hath
in
it
neither
spot
nor
wrinkle
,
nor
any
such
like
thing
.
5.
Wherefore
as
other
seats
bee
all
inferiour
to
mee
,
and
as
they
cannot
absolue
me
:
so
haue
they
no
power
to
bind
mee
or
to
stand
against
me
,
no
more
then
the
axe
hath
power
to
stand
or
presume
aboue
him
that
heweth
with
it
,
or
the
Saw
to
presume
aboue
him
that
ruleth
it
.
6.
This
is
the
holy
and
Apostolick
mother
Church
of
all
other
Churches
of
CHRIST
.
7.
From
whose
rules
it
is
not
meete
that
any
person
or
persons
should
declyne
,
but
lyke
as
the
Sonne
of
GOD
,
came
to
doe
the
will
of
his
Father
,
so
much
yee
doe
the
will
of
your
mother
the
Church
,
the
head
whereof
is
the
Church
of
Rome
.
8.
And
if
any
other
person
or
persons
shall
erre
from
the
said
Church
,
either
let
them
be
admonished
,
or
els
their
names
taken
,
to
bee
knowne
who
they
bee
that
swerue
from
the
customes
of
Rome
.
9.
Thus
then
for
as
much
as
the
holy
Church
of
Rome
,
whereof
I
am
governour
,
is
set
vp
to
the
whole
world
for
a
glasse
or
example
,
reason
would
what
thing
soever
the
said
Church
determineth
,
or
ordaineth
,
that
to
bee
receaved
of
all
men
for
a
generall
and
a
perpetuall
rule
for
ever
.
10.
Wherevpon
we
see
it
now
verified
in
this
Church
,
that
was
foreprophecied
by
Ieremie
,
Saying
:
Behold
I
haue
set
thee
vpover
nations
and
kingdomes
,
to
plucke
vp
and
to
breake
downe
,
to
build
and
to
plant
.
11.
Who
so
vnderstandeth
not
the
prerogatiue
of
this
my
Preist-hood
,
let
him
looke
vp
to
the
firmament
,
where
he
may
see
two
great
lights
,
the
Sunne
and
Moone
:
one
ruling
over
the
day
,
the
other
over
the
night
:
So
in
the
firmament
of
the
vniversall
Church
.
12.
GOD
hath
set
two
great
dignities
,
the
authoritie
of
the
Pope
and
the
Emperour
:
Of
the
which
two
,
this
our
dignitie
is
so
much
weightier
,
as
wee
haue
the
greater
charge
to
giue
accoumpt
to
GOD
for
Kings
of
the
earth
,
and
the
lawes
of
men
.
13.
Wherefore
bee
it
knowne
to
you
Emperours
,
which
know
it
also
right
well
,
that
yee
depend
vnto
the
judgement
of
vs
,
we
must
not
bee
brought
and
reduced
to
your
will
.
14.
For
as
I
said
,
looke
what
difference
there
is
betwixt
the
Sunne
and
the
Moone
,
so
great
is
the
power
of
the
Pope
ruling
over
the
day
,
that
is
,
over
the
spirituality
,
aboue
Emperours
and
Kings
,
ruling
over
the
the
night
:
that
is
,
over
the
Laytie
.
15.
Now
seing
the
earth
is
seven
times
bigger
then
the
Moone
,
and
the
Sunne
eight
times
greater
then
the
earth
,
it
followeth
that
the
Popes
dignitie
56
tymes
doeth
surmount
the
estate
of
the
Emperours
.
16.
Vpon
consideration
whereof
,
I
say
therefore
and
pronunce
that
Constantine
the
Emperour
did
naught
in
setting
the
Patriarch
of
Constantinople
at
his
feete
on
his
left
hand
.
17.
And
although
the
said
Emperour
,
wrote
to
mee
,
alledging
the
words
of
S.
Peter
,
commanding
vs
to
submit
our selves
to
everie
humane
creature
,
as
to
Kings
,
Dukes
,
and
other
for
the
cause
of
GOD.
1.
Pet.
2.
Yet
in
answering
againe
in
my
decretall
,
I
exponed
the
minds
and
words
of
S.
Pet.
to
pertaine
to
his
subjects
,
and
not
his
successors
,
willing
the
said
Emperor
to
consider
the
person
of
the
speaker
,
and
to
whom
it
is
spoken
,
for
,
if
the
minde
of
Peter
had
beene
there
to
debase
the
order
of
Priest-hood
,
and
to
make
vs
vnderlings
to
everie
humane
creature
,
then
everie
lack
might
haue
dominion
over
Prelats
:
which
maketh
against
the
example
of
CHRIST
,
setting
vp
the
order
of
Priesthood
to
beare
domination
over
Kings
:
According
to
the
saying
of
Ieremie
:
Behold
I
haue
set
thee
vp
over
Kings
and
Nations
:
18.
And
as
I
feared
not
then
to
wryte
this
boldly
vnto
Constantine
,
so
now
I
say
vnto
all
other
Emperours
,
that
they
receaving
of
mee
their
approbation
,
vnction
,
consecration
,
and
Crowne
Imperiall
,
must
not
disdaine
to
submitte
their
heads
vnder
mee
,
and
sweare
vnto
mee
their
alleadgeance
:
19.
For
so
you
reade
in
the
decree
of
Pope
Iohn
,
how
that
Princes
heeretofore
have
beene
wont
to
bowe
and
submit
their
heads
vnto
Bishops
,
and
not
to
proceede
in
judgment
against
the
heads
of
Bishops
.
20.
If
this
reverence
and
submission
was
wont
to
be
given
to
Bishops
,
how
much
more
ought
they
to
submit
their
heads
to
me
,
being
superior
,
not
only
to
Kings
,
but
Emperours
,
and
that
for
two
causes
:
first
,
for
my
title
of
succession
,
that
I
Pope
of
Rome
haue
to
the
Empyre
,
the
rowme
standing
vacant
.
Also
for
the
fullnesse
of
power
that
CHRIST
King
of
Kings
,
&
Lord
of
Lords
,
hath
given
to
mee
tho
vnworthie
in
the
person
of
Peter
.
21.
By
reason
whereof
,
seeing
my
power
is
not
of
man
but
of
GOD
,
who
by
his
celestiall
providence
hath
set
mee
over
his
vniversall
Church
;
maister
and
governour
,
it
belongeth
therefore
to
my
office
to
looke
vpon
everie
mortall
sinne
of
everie
Christian
man
.
22.
Whereby
all
criminall
offences
als
well
of
Kings
as
all
other
bee
subject
to
my
censure
.
23.
In
such
sort
that
in
all
manner
of
pleading
,
if
any
manner
of
person
at
any
time
either
before
the
sentence
given
or
after
shall
appeale
to
mce
,
it
shall
bee
lawfull
for
him
so
to
doe
.
24.
Neither
must
Kings
and
Princes
thinke
it
much
to
submit
themselues
to
my
judgement
,
for
so
did
Valentinianus
the
worthie
Emperour
:
so
did
Theodosius
,
and
also
Carolus
.
25.
Thus
yee
see
must
bee
all
judged
by
mee
,
and
I
of
no
man
,
yea
,
although
I
Pope
of
Rome
,
by
my
negligence
or
evill
demanure
bee
found
vnprofitable
,
or
hurtfull
,
either
to
my selfe
or
others
:
Yea
if
I
should
draw
with
mee
innumerable
soules
by
heaps
to
hell
,
yet
no
mortall
man
be
so
hardie
,
so
bold
,
so
presumptuous
to
reproue
mee
.
26.
Or
to
say
to
mee
,
Domine
cur
it
a
facis
?
Sir
why
doe
yee
so
?
27.
For
although
yee
read
that
Balaam
was
rebuked
of
his
Asse
,
by
the
which
Afse
our
subjects
,
by
Balaam
wee
Prelats
are
signified
:
Yet
that
ought
to
bee
no
example
to
our
subjects
to
rebuke
vs
.
28
And
though
wee
read
in
the
Scripture
,
that
Peter
,
who
receaved
power
of
the
Kingdome
,
and
being
cheife
of
the
Apostles
,
might
by
vertue
of
his
office
,
controle
all
others
,
was
content
to
come
and
giue
answere
before
his
inferiors
,
objecting
to
him
his
going
to
the
Gentiles
,
yet
other
inferiors
must
not
learne
by
this
example
to
bee
check-meat
with
their
Prelats
,
because
Peter
so
tooke
it
at
their
hands
,
shewing
thereby
rather
a
dispensation
of
humilitie
,
then
the
power
of
his
office
:
by
the
which
power
hee
might
haue
said
to
them
againe
,
It
becometh
not
sheepe
,
nor
belongeth
to
their
osfice
to
accuse
their
sheepheard
.
29.
For
els
why
was
Dioscorus
Patriarch
of
Alexandria
condemned
and
excommunicated
at
Chalcedon
:
not
for
any
cause
of
his
faith
,
but
onely
that
hee
durst
stand
against
the
Pope
Leo
,
and
durst
excommunicate
the
Bishope
of
Rome
,
for
who
is
hee
that
hath
authoritie
to
accuse
the
seat
of
S.
Peter
.
30.
Albeit
I
am
not
ignorant
what
S.
Ierome
wryteth
,
that
Paul
would
not
haue
reprehended
Peter
,
vnlesse
he
had
thought
himselfe
equall
vnto
him
.
31.
Yet
Ieremy
must
thus
be
exponed
by
my
interpretation
,
that
this
equalitie
betwixt
Peter
and
Paul
,
consisteth
not
in
like
osfice
of
dignitie
,
but
in
purenes
of
conversation
.
32.
For
who
gaue
Paul
licence
to
preach
,
but
Peter
,
&
that
by
authoritie
of
GOD
,
saying
,
Separato

Wherefore

it

and

both
.
60.
Having
both
swords
in
my
power
,
both
of
the
spirituall
and
temporall
jurisdiction
.
61.
So
farre
surmounting
the
authoritie
of
the
Emperour
,
that
I
of
my
owne
power
alone
without
a
Councill
,
have
authoritie
to
depose
him
,
or
to
trans-ferre
his
kingdome
,
and
to
giue
a
new
election
,
as
I
did
to
Frederick
,
and
diverse
others
.
62.
What
power
then
or
Protestat
in
all
the
world
is
comparable
to
me
:
who
haue
authoritie
to
bind
and
louse
both
in
Heaven
and
earth
.
63.
That
is
,
who
haue
power
both
of
heavenly
things
,
and
also
of
temporall
things
.
64.
To
whom
Emperours
,
and
Kings
are
more
inferiour
,
than
Lead
is
inferiour
to
Gold
.
65.
For
doe
you
not
see
the
neckes
of
great
Kings
,
and
Princes
bend
vnder
our
knees
,
yea
,
and
think
themselves
happy
and
well
defenced
,
if
they
maye
kisse
our
hands
.
66.
Wherefore
the
sawcinesse
of
Honorius
the
Emperour
is
to
bee
reprehended
,
and
his
constitution
abolished
,
who
with
his
laytie
would
take
vpon
him
to
intermeddle
,
not
only
with
the
temporall
order
,
but
also
with
matters
ecclesiasticall
,
and
election
of
the
Pope
.
67.
But
heere
perchance
some
will
object
the
examples
and
wordes
of
Christ
,
saying
,
that
his
Kingdome
is
not
of
this
world
,
and
where
he
being
required
to
divide
betwixt
two
brethren
their
heritage
,
did
refuse
it
;
but
that
ought
not
to
bee
no
prejudice
to
my
power
.
68.
For
if
Peter
,
and
I
in
Peter
,
if
wee
say
,
haue
power
to
bind
and
louse
in
heaven
,
how
much
more
then
is
it
to
bee
thought
,
that
wee
have
power
in
earth
to
louse
and
to
take
away
Empyres
,
Kingdomes
,
Dukedomes
,
and
what
els
so
ever
mortall
men
may
have
,
and
to
give
them
where
wee
will
?
69.
And
if
wee
haue
authoritie
over
Angels
,
which
bee
governours
over
Princes
,
what
then
maye
wee
doe
vpon
their
inferiours
and
servants
?
70.
And
for
that
you
shall
not
marvell
that
I
say
;
Angels
bee
subject
vnto
vs
,
you
shall
heare
what
my
blessed
Clerk
Antonius
writeth
of
the
matter
,
saying
,
that
our
power
,
of
Peter
and
mee
,
is
greater
than
the
Angels
in
foure
things
.
1.
In
jurisdiction
.
2.
In
administration
of
Sacraments
.
3.
In
knowledge
.
4.
and
reward
.
71.
And
again
in
bulla
Clemen
tis
,
doe
I
not
their
command
in
my
Bull
,
the
Angels
of
Paradise
to
absolve
the
soule
of
man
out
of
Purgatorie
,
and
to
bring
it
into
the
glorie
of
Paradise
.
72.
And
now
besides
my
heavenly
power
,
to
speak
of
my
earthly
jurisdiction
,
who
did
first
translate
the
Empyre
from
the
Greeks
to
the
Almanes
,
but
I
?
73.
And
not
onely
in
the
Empyre
am
I
Emperour
,
the
place
being
emptie
,
but
in
all
ecclesiasticall
benefices
have
full
right
and
power
to
translate
,
and
to
depose
after
my
arbitriment
.
74.
Did
not
I
Zacharias
put
downe
Childerick
the
old
King
of
France
,
and
set
vp
Pipinus
?
75.
Did
not
I
Gregorius
the
seventh
set
vp
Robert
Wisard
,
and
made
him
King
of
Sicilie
,
and
Duke
of
Cappa
&c.
76.
Did
not
I
the
same
Gregorius
also
set
vp
Rodulphus
against
Henrie
the
4
Em
perour
?
77.
And
though
that
this
Henricus
was
an
Em
perour
of
most
stout
courage
,
who
stood
62
times
in
open
field
against
his
enemies
.
78.
Yet
did
not
I
Gregorius
,
coram
nobis
,
and
made
him
stand
at
my
gate
,
three
dayes
and
three
nights
bare-footed
,
and
bare-legged
,
with
his
wife
and
chyld
,
in
the
deepe
of
winter
,
both
in
frost
and
snow
,
intreating
for
his
absolution
,
and
after
excommunicated
him
againe
,
so
that
hee
was
twise
excommunicated
in
my
dayes
?
79.
And
did
not
I
Paschalis
after
Gregorie
set
vp
the
son
of
the
said
Henricus
against
his
father
,
in
warre
to
possesse
the
Empyre
,
and
to
put
downe
his
father
,
and
so
hee
did
.
80.
Item
,
did
not
I
Pope
Alexander
bring
vnto
Henrie
the
second
,
King
of
England
,
for
the
death
of
Thomas
Becket
,
and
to
cause
him
goe
bare-foooted
to
his
tombe
at
Canturberrie
with
bleeding
feet
?
81.
Did
not
I
Innocentius
the
third
,
cause
King
Iohn
to
kneele
downe
at
the
feete
of
Pandulphus
my
Legate
,
and
offer
vp
his
Crowne
to
his
hands
:
also
to
kisse
the
feete
of
Steven
Langtoun
,
Bishop
of
Canturberrie
,
and
besides
that
merced
him
a
thousand
merks
by
yeare
.
82.
Did
not
I
Vrbanus
the
second
,
put
downe
Hugo
Erle
in
Italie
,
discharging
his
subjects
from
their
oath
and
obedience
to
him
?
83.
Did
not
I
Paschalis
excommunicate
also
his
son
Henry
the
fifth
,
and
gotte
out
of
his
hands
all
his
right
,
and
title
of
elections
,
and
donations
of
spirituall
promotions
?
84.
Did
not
I
Gelasius
the
second
bring
the
Captaine
Cnitius
vnder
,
vnto
the
kissing
of
my
feete
,
and
after
Gelasius
?
85.
Did
not
I
Calixtus
,
quaile
the
foresaid
Emperour
Henricus
,
and
also
bring
in
subjection
Gregorie
,
whom
the
said
Emperour
had
set
vp
against
mee
to
be
Pope
,
bringing
him
into
Rome
vpon
a
Camell
,
his
face
to
the
horse
taile
,
making
him
to
hold
the
horse
taile
in
his
hand
in
stead
of
a
brydle
?
86.
Further
,
did
not
I
Innocentius
the
second
set
vp
and
make
Lotharius
to
bee
Emperour
,
for
driving
out
Pope
Anacletus
out
of
Rome
?
87.
Did
not
I
the
said
Innocentius
take
the
Dukedome
of
Sicilie
from
the
Empyre
,
and
made
Roger
to
bee
King
thereof
,
whereby
afterward
the
Kingdome
became
the
patrimonie
of
S.
Peter
.
88.
Did
not
I
Alexander
the
third
,
suspend
all
the
Realme
and
Churches
of
England
for
the
Kings
mariage
,
1159
?
88.
But
what
doe
I
speake
of
Kings
?
did
not
I
the
saide
Alexander
bring
the
valiant
Emperour
Frederick
the
first
to
Venice
,
by
reason
of
his
son
Otho
,
their
taken
prisoner
,
and
there
in
S.
Marks
Church
made
him
fall
downe
flat
vpon
the
ground
,
while
I
did
set
my
feete
vpon
his
necke
,
saying
the
verse
of
the
TSALME
,
Super
aspidem
&
basiliscum
ambulabis
:
89.
Did
not
I
Adrianus
Pope
,
an
English
man
borne
,
excommunicate
William
King
of
Cicile
and
refuse
his
peace
,
which
hee
offered
,
and
had
he
not
overcome
me
in
plaine
field
,
I
would
haue
shaken
him
out
of
his
kingdome
of
Cicile
,
and
Dukedome
of
Apulia
.
90.
Also
did
not
I
the
said
Adrianus
,
controll
and
correct
the
foresaid
Fredericus
Emperour
,
for
holding
the
left
stirruppe
of
my
horse
,
when
hee
should
haue
holden
the
right
.
91.
And
afterward
did
not
I
excommunicate
&
curse
him
,
for
that
he
was
so
sawsie
to
set
his
owne
name
in
wrytting
mine
.
92.
And
although
a
poore
flie
afterward
overcame
and
strangled
me
,
yet
I
made
Kings
and
Emperours
to
stoup
.
93.
Did
not
I
Innocentius
3.
deject
Philippus
,
brother
to
Fredericus
from
the
imperiall
Crowne
,
being
elected
without
my
leaue
,
and
after
set
him
vp
againe
,
and
also
set
vp
Otho
of
Brounswick
,
and
after
did
excommunicate
and
also
depose
the
same
foure
yeares
,
setting
vp
the
French
King
to
warre
against
him
.
94.
Then
was
Fredericus
2.
by
mee
set
vp
and
reigned
thirtie
seven
yeares
,
and
yet
fyue
yeares
before
,
he
died
.
95.
Did
not
I
Honorius
interdict
him
,
for
not
restoring
certaine
to
their
possessions
at
my
request
.
96.
Whom
also
Gregorius
9.
did
excommunicate
twyse
together
,
&
and
raised
vp
the
Venetians
against
him
.
97.
And
at
length
Innocentius
spoyled
him
of
his
Empyre
,
after
that
hee
caused
him
to
bee
poysoned
,
at
length
to
bee
strangled
by
one
Manfredus
,
and
did
excommunicate
his
sonne
Conradus
after
him
,
not
onely
depryving
him
of
his
right
inheritance
,
but
also
caused
him
with
Frederick
Duke
of
Austria
to
be
beheaded
.
98.
Thus
then
did
not
I
excommunicate
and
depose
all
these
Emperours
in
order
?
Henricus
4.
Henricus
5.
Fredericus
I.
Philippus
,
Otho
,
Fredericus
2.
and
Conradus
his
sonne
.
99.
Did
not
I
interdict
King
Henrie
the
eight
.
100.
And
all
his
kingdome
of
England
.
101.
And
had
not
his
prudence
and
power
prevented
my
practise
,
I
had
displaced
him
from
his
kingdome
,
also
briefly
who
is
able
to
comprehend
the
greatnesse
of
my
power
,
and
of
my
seate
.
102.
For
by
mee
only
generall
Councills
take
their
force
and
confirmation
.
103.
And
the
interpretation
of
the
saids
councils
,
and
of
all
other
causes
hard
and
doubtfull
ought
to
bee
referred
and
stand
to
my
interpretation
.
104.
By
me
the
workes
of
all
wrytters
,
whatsoever
they
bee
,
either
bee
reprooved
or
allowed
.
105.
Then
how
much
more
ought
my
wryttings
and
decrees
to
bee
preferred
before
all
other
?
106.
In
so
much
that
my
letters
and
epistles
decretall
bee
equivalent
,
with
the
generall
councils
.
107.
And
where
GOD
hath
ordained
al
causes
of
men
,
to
bee
judged
by
men
,
hee
hath
onely
reserved
mee
,
That
is
,
The
Pope
of
Rome
,
without
all
question
of
men
,
vnto
his
owne
judgement
.
108.
And
therefore
where
all
other
creatures
bee
vnder
their
judge
,
onely
I
who
in
earth
am
the
judge
of
all
,
can
bee
judged
of
none
,
neither
Emperour
nor
the
whole
Clergie
,
nor
Kings
,
nor
of
the
people
.
109.
For
who
hath
power
to
judge
vpon
his
judge
?
110.
This
judge
am
I
,
and
that
alone
,
without
any
other
assistance
of
any
counsell
joyned
to
mee
,
for
I
haue
power
vpon
counsels
,
counsels
haue
no
power
over
mee
.
But
if
the
counsell
determine
amisse
,
it
is
my
aurhoritie
alone
to
infring
it
,
or
to
condemne
whom
I
list
without
any
counsell
.
111.
And
all
for
the
preheminene
of
my
predecessor
blessed
S.
Peter
,
which
by
the
voyce
of
the
LORD
,
hee
receaved
,
and
ever
shall
retaine
.
112.
Furthermore
,
and
whereas
all
other
sentences
and
judgements
,
both
of
counsels
,
person
or
persons
,
may
and
ought
to
bee
examined
.
113.
For
that
they
may
be
corrupted
foure
wayes
:
by
feare
,
by
gifts
,
by
hatred
,
by
favour
:
onely
my
sentence
and
judgement
must
stand
.
114.
As
given
out
of
Heaven
by
the
mouth
of
Peter
him selfe
,
which
no
man
must
115.
Breake
nor
retract
.
116.
No
man
must
dispute
or
doubt
of
.
117.
Yea
if
my
judgment
,
statute
,
or
yoke
,
seeme
scarcelie
tolerable
,
yet
for
remembrance
of
S.
Peter
it
must
bee
humblie
obeyed
.
118.
Yea
and
moreover
,
obedience
is
to
bee
given
not
onely
to
such
decrees
set
foorth
by
mee
in
time
of
my
Popedome
,
but
also
to
such
as
I
doe
foresee
and
commit
to
wrytting
before
I
bee
Pope
.
119.
And
although
it
bee
thought
by
some
wrytters
to
bee
given
to
all
men
to
erre
,
and
deccaved
.
120.
Yet
,
neither
am
I
a
poore
man
.
121.
And
againe
the
sentence
of
my
Apostolick
seat
is
alwayes
conceaved
with
such
moderation
is
concoct
and
digested
,
with
such
patience
and
rypnesse
,
and
delivered
out
with
such
gravitie
of
delebiration
,
that
nothing
is
thought
in
it
necessary
to
be
altered
or
detracted
122.
Wherefore
it
is
manifest
,
and
testified
by
the
voice
of
holie
Bishops
,
that
the
dignitie
of
this
my
seat
is
to
be
reverenced
through
the
whole
world
,
in
that
all
the
faith
full
submit
themselues
to
it
as
to
the
head
of
the
whole
bodie
.
123.
Whereof
it
is
spoken
to
mee
by
the
Prophet
,
speaking
of
the
Arke
,
if
this
bee
humbled
whether
shall
yee
runne
for
succour
,
and
where
shall
your
glory
become
?
seing
then
this
is
so
,
that
so
holie
Bishops
and
Scriptures
doe
witnesse
with
mee
,
what
shall
we
say
then
to
such
as
will
take
vpon
them
to
judge
of
my
doings
,
to
reprehend
my
proceedings
,
or
to
require
homage
and
tribute
of
mee
,
to
whom
all
other
are
subject
.
124.
Against
the
first
sort
the
Scripture
speaketh
.
Deuternomie
:
Thou
oughtest
not
to
put
thy
syth
in
another
mans
Corne.
Which
thing
to
attempt
against
mee
,
what
is
it
but
plaine
sacriledge
?
125.
According
to
my
Canonists
,
which
thus
defyne
sacriledge
to
consist
in
three
things
:
either
when
a
man
judgeth
of
his
Princes
judgement
:
or
when
the
holie
day
is
prophained
:
or
when
reverence
is
not
given
to
Lawes
and
Canons
.
126.
Against
the
second
sort
maketh
the
place
of
the
booke
of
Kings
,
where
wee
reade
the
Arke
of
GOD
was
brought
from
Gaba
to
Ierusalem
,
and
in
the
way
the
Arke
inclining
by
reason
of
the
vnruely
oxen
.
Ozias
the
Levit
put
to
his
hand
to
helpe
,
and
therefore
was
stricken
of
the
LORD
:
By
this
Arke
is
signified
the
Prelats
,
by
the
inclination
thereof
,
the
fall
of
Prelats
.
127.
Which
also
bee
signified
by
the
Angels
,
that
Iacob
did
see
going
vp
and
downe
the
ladder
.
128.
Also
by
the
Prophet
,
where
hee
sayeth
,
hee
bowed
downe
the
Heavens
and
came
downe
:
By
Ozias
and
the
vnruelie
oxen
are
meaned
our
subjects
.
129.
Then
like
as
Ozias
was
striken
for
putting
his
hand
to
the
Arke
inclyning
,
no
more
must
subjects
rebuke
their
Prelats
going
away
.
130.
Albeit
heere
may
be
answered
againe
,
that
all
bee
not
Prelats
,
which
bee
so
called
,
for
it
is
not
the
name
that
maketh
a
Bishop
,
but
the
life
.
131.
Against
the
third
sort
of
such
as
would
bring
vs
vnder
the
tribute
and
exactions
of
secular
men
,
making
the
New
Testament
,
where
Peter
was
bid
to
giue
the
groate
in
the
fishes
mouth
,
but
not
the
head
nor
bodie
of
the
fish
:
No
more
is
the
head
or
bodie
of
the
Church
subdued
to
Kings
,
but
onely
that
which
is
in
the
mouth
,
that
is
,
the
extern
things
of
the
Church
,
and
yet
not
they
neither
.
132.
For
so
wee
read
in
the
booke
of
Genesis
,
that
Pharaoh
in
the
time
,
of
derth
,
subdued
all
the
land
of
the
Egyptians
,
but
yet
hee
ministred
to
the
Preists
,
so
that
hee
neither
tooke
their
possessions
from
them
,
nor
their
libertie
:
If
then
the
Prelats
of
the
Church
must
bee
neither
judged
,
nor
reprehended
,
nor
exacted
,
how
much
more
ought
I
to
bee
free
from
the
same
?
133
Which
am
the
Bishop
of
Bishops
,
and
head
of
Prelats
.
134.
For
it
is
not
to
bee
thought
that
the
case
betwixt
mee
and
other
Prelats
:
betwixt
my
Sea
and
other
Churches
bee
like
.
135.
Although
the
whole
Catholick
&
Apostolicke
Church
make
a
brydechamber
of
Christ
,
yet
the
Catholick
and
Apostolick
Church
of
Rome
,
had
the
preheminence
given
over
all
other
by
the
mouth
of
the
LORD
himselfe
,
saying
to
Peter
.
Thou
art
Peter
.
136.
Thus
a
discretion
and
difference
must
bee
had
in
the
Church
,
as
it
was
betwixt
Aaron
and
his
children
:
137.
Betwixt
the
threescore
and
twelue
Disciples
,
and
the
twelue
Apostles
,
betwixt
the
other
Apostles
and
Peter
.
138.
Wherefore
it
is
to
bee
concluded
,
an
order
&
difference
of
degrees
in
the
Church
,
betwixt
powers
,
rior
and
inferior
,
without
which
order
the
vniversitie
of
the
whole
cannot
consist
.
139.
For
as
amongst
the
Angelicall
creatures
aboue
in
Heaven
,
there
is
set
a
difference
and
inequalities
of
powers
and
orders
,
some
to
bee
Angels
,
some
Archangels
,
some
Cherubins
,
some
Seraphims
,
140.
So
in
the
Ecclesiasticall
hierarchie
of
the
Church
militant
heere
on
earth
,
Priests
must
not
bee
equall
with
Bishops
,
Bishops
must
not
bee
like
in
order
with
Arch-Bishops
,
with
Patriarchs
,
or
Primats
,
141.
Who
containe
vnder
them
three
Arch-Bishops
,
as
a
King
containeth
three
Dukes
vnder
him
,
in
the
which
number
of
Patriarchs
,
commeth
in
the
stare
also
of
an
hundreth
fourty
two
Cardinals
or
principals
,
fo
called
,
Because
as
the
doore
turneth
by
his
hinges
,
so
the
vniversall
Church
ought
to
be
ruled
by
them
.
142.
The
next
&
hiest
order
aboue
these
,
is
mine
,
who
am
Pope
,
differing
in
power
&
majoritie
,
and
honour
reverentiall
,
from
these
&
all
other
decrees
of
men
.
144.
For
the
better
declaration
on
whereof
,
my
Canonists
make
three
kynds
of
power
in
the
earth
:
Immediato
,
which
is
mine
immediatly
from
GOD
:
Derivato
,
which
belongeth
to
other
inferior
Prelats
from
me
.
145.
Ministralis
belonging
to
Emperors
and
Princes
to
minister
for
mee
,
for
the
which
cause
the
anoynting
of
Princes
and
my
consecration
doth
differ
,
for
they
are
anoynted
onely
in
the
armes
or
shoulders
,
and
I
in
the
head
,
to
signifie
,
the
difference
of
power
betwixt
Princes
and
mee
.
146.
This
order
therefore
of
Priests
,
Bishops
and
Arch-Bishops
,
Patriarchs
and
others
,
as
a
thing
most
convenient
:
my
Church
of
Rome
hath
set
and
instituted
through
all
Churches
following
therein
;
not
onely
the
example
of
the
angelicall
armie
in
Heaven
,
but
also
the
Apostles
.
147.
For
amongst
them
also
there
was
not
an
vniforme
equalitie
or
institution
of
a
degree
.
148.
But
a
diversitie
or
distinction
of
authoritie
and
power
,
albeit
they
were
all
Apostles
together
,
yet
it
was
granted
notwithstanding
to
Peter
themselues
also
agreeing
to
the
same
that
he
should
beare
dominion
and
superioritie
over
all
other
Apostles
.
149.
And
therefore
had
his
name
given
him
,
Cephas
,
that
is
,
head
or
beginning
of
the
Apostlehood
.
150.
Wherevpon
the
order
of
the
Priesthood
first
in
the
New
Testament
began
in
Peter
,
to
whom
it
was
said
:
Thou
art
Peter
,
and
vpon
thee
will
I
build
my
Church
:
151.
And
I
will
give
thee
the
keyes
of
Heaven
:
and
thou
being
converted
confirme
thy
brethren
.
152.
I
haue
prayed
for
thee
that
thy
faith
shall
not
faile
,
wherefore
seeing
such
power
is
given
to
Peter
.
153.
And
to
mee
in
Peter
,
beeing
his
successor
.
154.
Who
is
hee
then
in
all
the
world
,
that
ought
not
to
bee
subject
to
my
decrees
,
which
hath
such
power
,
in
Heaven
,
in
Hell
,
in
Earth
,
with
the
quicke
and
also
the
dead
:
155.
Commanding
and
granting
in
my
Bull
sent
to
Vienna
,
vnto
all
such
as
dyed
in
their
peregrination
to
Rome
,
that
the
paine
of
Hell
shuld
not
touch
them
.
And
also
that
all
such
as
tooke
the
holie
crosse
vpon
them
,
should
everie
one
at
his
request
not
onely
bee
delivered
himselfe
,
but
also
deliver
three
or
foure
soules
,
whomso
ever
hee
would
haue
out
of
Purgatorie
.
156.
Againe
having
such
promises
and
assurance
,
that
my
faith
shall
not
faile
,
who
then
will
not
beleeue
in
my
doctrine
:
for
did
not
CHRIST
himselfe
first
pray
for
Peter
,
that
his
faith
should
not
faile
.
157.
Also
haue
I
not
a
sure
promise
of
Pauls
owne
mouth
,
wrytting
to
my
Church
in
these
words
:
God
is
my
witnesse
whom
I
serue
in
my
spirit
,
in
the
Ghospell
of
his
Sonne
,
that
without
ceasing
I
make
mention
of
you
alwayes
in
my
prayers
:
Rom.
I.
158.
Where
fore
I
condemne
all
such
worthilie
,
which
will
not
obey
my
decrees
,
to
be
despossessed
of
all
their
honours
,
without
restitution
.
159.
So
all
they
that
beleeue
not
my
doctrine
,
or
stand
against
the
priviledge
of
the
Church
,
especially
of
the
Church
of
Rome
,
I
pronounce
them
Heretiques
.
160.
And
as
the
other
before
is
called
vnjust
,
so
this
man
is
to
bee
called
an
heretique
.
161.
For
why
he
goeth
against
the
faith
,
which
goeth
against
her
who
is
the
mother
of
faith
.
162.
But
heere
may
ryse
perchance
a
doubt
or
seruple
,
that
if
my
faith
and
knowledge
stand
so
sure
by
the
promise
of
CHRIST
,
and
by
the
continuall
prayer
of
S.
Paul
?
whither
is
it
true
,
or
is
it
to
bee
granted
that
any
other
should
excell
men
in
knowledge
or
interpretation
of
holie
Scripture
.
163.
For
looke
whose
knowledge
is
grounded
vpon
most
reason
his
words
should
seeme
to
bee
of
more
authoritie
.
164.
Wherevnto
I
answere
,
and
grant
,
that
many
there
bee
&
hath
beene
more
abundantly
indued
with
fuller
grace
of
the
holie
Ghost
,
and
greater
excellencie
of
knowledge
,
&
therefore
that
the
tractations
of
Augustine
,
Hierom
,
and
others
thought
to
bee
preferred
before
the
constitutions
of
dyvers
Popes
:
yet
I
say
in
determination
of
cause
,
because
they
haue
not
the
vertue
and
hight
of
their
authoritie
,
which
is
given
to
mee
,
therefore
in
exponing
of
Scriptures
they
are
to
bee
preferred
,
but
in
decyding
of
matters
they
stand
inferror
to
my
authoritie
:
by
vertue
of
which
authoritie
,
165.
Both
they
themselues
be
allowed
for
doctors
:
&
their
works
approved
,
and
also
al
other
matters
bee
ruled
,
through
the
power
of
the
keyes
which
is
given
to
me
immediatly
of
CHRIST
:
although
I
deny
not
,
but
the
same
keyes
bee
also
committed
to
other
Prelats
,
as
they
were
to
other
Apostles
besids
Peter
.
166.
Yet
it
is
a
thing
to
haue
the
keyes
,
another
thing
to
haue
the
vse
of
the
keyes
.
167.
Wherefore
heere
is
to
bee
noted
a
distinction
of
keyes
,
after
the
minde
of
my
schoole
doctors
:
one
key
which
is
called
Clavis
ordinis
:
Having
authoritie
to
binde
and
loose
,
but
over
the
persons
whom
they
binde
and
loose
,
and
this
authoritie
they
take
not
immediatly
of
CHRIST
,
but
immediatly
by
mee
the
viccar
of
CHRIST
.
The
other
is
called
Clavis
Iurisdictionis
,
Which
I
the
viccar
of
CHRIST
take
immediatly
of
him
,
having
notonely
authoritie
to
binde
and
loose
,
but
also
dominion
over
them
on
whom
this
key
is
exercised
,
by
the
jurisdiction
of
which
key
,
the
fulnesse
of
my
power
is
so
great
,
that
whereas
all
others
are
subjects
.
168.
Yea
and
Emperours
themselues
ought
to
subdue
their
executions
to
mee
,
onely
I
am
a
subject
to
no
creature
.
169.
No
not
to
my selfe
except
I
list
,
In
foro
poenitentiae
,
to
my
Ghostly
father
submitting
my selfe
as
a
sinner
,
but
not
as
Pope
:
so
that
my
papall
majestie
ever
remaineth
vnminisched
.
Superior
to
all
men
170.
Whom
all
persons
ought
to
obey
,
171.
and
follow
.
172.
Whom
no
man
must
judge
nor
accuse
of
cryme
,
either
of
murther
,
adulterie
,
symony
,
or
such
like
173.
No
man
depose
but
I
my selfe
.
174.
No
man
can
excommunicate
mee
,
yea
though
I
communicat
with
the
excommunicat
,
for
no
Canon
bindeth
me
,
whom
no
man
must
lye
to
.
175.
For
hee
that
lyeth
to
mee
is
a
Church
robber
.
176.
And
who
obeyeth
not
mee
is
an
hereticke
,
and
an
excommunicat
person
.
177.
For
like
as
all
the
Iewes
were
commanded
to
obey
the
hie
Priest
,
of
the
Leviticall
order
,
of
what
state
or
condition
soever
they
were
,
so
are
all
Christian
men
more
and
lesse
bound
to
obey
mee
CHRISTS
Lievetennant
on
earth
,
concerning
the
obedience
or
disobedience
,
of
whom
yee
haue
in
Deut.
17.
178.
Where
the
common
glosse
sayeth
,
that
hee
who
denyeth
to
the
hie
Priest
obedientiam
,
lyeth
vnder
the
sentence
of
condemnation
,
as
much
as
hee
that
denyeth
to
GOD
his
omnipotentiam
.
Thus
then
appeareth
that
the
greatnesse
of
my
Priest
hood
,
179.
Begunne
in
Melchizedeck
,
solemnized
in
Aaron
,
continued
in
the
children
of
Aaron
,
perfectionated
in
Christ
represented
in
Peter
,
exalted
in
the
vniversall
iurisdiction
,
and
manifested
in
Silvester
:
so
that
through
this
preheminence
of
my
Priest-hood
,
having
all
things
subject
to
mee
.
180.
It
may
seeme
well
verified
in
mee
that
was
spoken
of
CHRIST
:
Psal.
8.
Omnia
subjecisti
sub
pedibus
ejus
,
oves
&
boves
,
&
vniversa
pecoracampi
.
Volucres
coeli
,
&
pisces
maris
.
That
is
to
say
,
Thou
hast
subdued
all
things
vnder
his
feete
,
sheepe
and
oxen
,
and
all
cattell
of
the
field
,
the
birds
of
Heaven
,
and
fish
of
the
sea
.
181.
Where
it
is
to
bee
noted
,
that
by
oxen
,
Iewes
and
Heretiques
,
by
cattell
of
the
field
,
Paganes
be
signified
,
for
although
as
yet
they
bee
out
of
the
vse
of
my
keyes
of
binding
and
lowsing
,
yet
they
bee
not
out
of
jurisdiction
of
my
keyes
,
but
if
they
returne
I
may
absolucthem
.
182.
By
sheepe
and
all
Cattell
are
meaned
all
Christian
men
both
great
and
lesse
,
whither
they
bee
Emperours
,
Princes
,
Prelats
,
or
other
.
By
birds
of
the
aire
,
yee
may
vnderstand
the
Angels
and
potestars
of
Heaven
,
who
bee
all
subject
to
mee
,
in
that
I
am
greater
then
the
Angels
,
and
that
in
foure
things
,
as
is
afore
declared
,
and
hath
power
to
binde
and
louse
in
Heauen
.
183.
And
to
giue
Heaven
to
them
that
fight
in
warres
.
184.
Lastly
by
the
fishes
of
the
sea
,
are
signified
the
soules
departed
in
paine
or
purgatory
,
as
Gregorie
by
his
prayer
deliuered
the
soule
of
Traianus
out
of
Hell
,
and
I
haue
power
to
deliver
out
of
Purgatorie
whom
I
please
.
185.
Lastly
,
by
the
fishes
of
the
sea
,
are
signified
such
as
bee
in
purgatorie
:
In
so
much
that
they
stand
in
need
and
necessitie
of
other
mens
helpe
,
and
yet
bee
in
their
journey
:
Viatores
&
de
foro
Papae
:
id
est
:
Passengers
,
and
belonging
to
the
court
of
the
Pope
,
therefore
they
may
bee
relieved
out
of
the
store-house
of
the
Church
,
by
the
participation
of
indulgence
.
And
for
as
much
as
some
do
object
that
my
pardons
cannot
extend
to
them
,
that
bee
departed
,
for
that
it
was
said
to
Peter
,
whatsoever
thou
shall
lowse
vpon
earth
,
and
therefore
seeing
they
are
not
vpon
earth
,
they
cannot
bee
lowsed
by
mee
:
heere
I
answere
againe
by
my
doctors
,
that
this
word
,
Super
terram
:
Vpon
the
earth
,
may
bee
referred
two
manner
of
wayes
,
first
to
him
that
is
the
lowser
,
so
that
who
shall
lowse
,
shall
bee
vpon
the
earth
,
and
so
I
grant
,
that
the
Pope
being
dead
can
lowse
no
man
.
Also
it
may
bee
referred
to
him
that
is
lowsed
,
so
that
whosoever
is
lowsed
must
be
vpon
the
earth
or
about
the
earth
:
And
so
the
soules
of
Purgatorie
may
bee
lowsed
,
which
albeit
they
are
not
vpon
the
earth
,
yet
they
are
about
the
earth
,
at
least
they
be
not
in
Heaven
:
because
oft
times
,
a
question
may
arise
vpon
another
,
&
the
heads
of
men
now
a
days
are
curious
,
a
man
hearing
now
,
that
I
can
deliver
out
of
Purgatorie
,
will
ask
here
a
question
,
whether
I
be
so
to
empty
all
Purgatorie
at
once
or
not
,
to
whom
my
Canonist
.
August
.
de
Ancho
.
doth
answere
by
a
triple
distinction
:
Quantum
ad
absolutam
meamjurisdictionem
,
Quantum
ad
ordinatam
executionem
,
Quantum
addivinam
acceptionem
.
First
,
touching
my
absolute
jurisdiction
,
hee
sayeth
,
I
am
able
to
rid
out
all
Purgatorie
together
,
for
as
many
as
bee
vnder
my
jurisdiction
,
as
all
be
,
except
onely
infants
vnbaptised
in
limbo
:
and
men
departed
onely
cum
Baptismo
slaminis
,
that
is
,
with
the
Baptisme
of
the
spirit
:
and
such
as
haue
no
friends
to
doe
for
them
,
that
therefore
pardons
bee
given
these
onely
excepted
:
for
all
other
besids
,
the
Pope
hee
sayeth
,
hath
power
to
release
all
Purgatorie
at
once
as
touching
his
absolute
jurisdiction
.
Albeit
Thomas
Aquixas
part.
4
denyeth
the
same
,
forsomuch
as
CHRIST
himselfe
hee
sayeth
,
when
hee
came
downe
did
not
onely
vtterly
at
once
release
all
Purgatorie
.
As
touching
my
ordinarie
execution
,
they
hold
,
that
I
may
if
I
will
,
but
I
ought
not
to
doe
it
.
Thirdly
,
as
concerning
the
divyne
acceptation
,
that
is
,
how
GOD
would
accept
it
,
if
I
did
it
,
that
they
say
is
vnknowne
to
them
,
&
to
everie
creature
,
yea
and
to
the
Pope
himselfe
.
And
to
the
intent
I
would
all
men
to
see
and
vnderstand
that
I
lack
not
witnesse
besids
these
,
if
I
list
to
bring
them
out
,
you
shall
heare
the
whole
quyre
of
my
divine
Clergie
brought
out
,
with
a
full
voyoe
testifying
in
my
behalfe
,
in
their
bookes
,
tractations
,
distinctions
,
titles
,
glosses
,
and
summaryes
,
as
by
their
owne
words
heere
followeth
.
The
Pope
say
they
being
the
viccar
of
IESVS
CHRIST
through
out
the
whole
world
,
in
the
stead
of
the
living
GOD
,
hath
that
dominion
and
lordship
,
which
CHRIST
heere
in
earth
would
not
haue
,
although
hee
had
it
in
habitu
,
but
gaue
it
to
Peter
in
actu
:
that
is
,
the
vniversall
jurisdiction
both
of
spirituall
things
and
also
of
temporall
,
which
double
jurisdiction
was
signified
by
the
two
swords
in
the
Ghospell
.
And
also
by
offering
of
the
wise
men
,
who
offered
not
onely
incense
,
but
also
gold
:
to
signifie
,
not
onely
the
spirituall
dominion
,
but
also
the
temporall
to
belong
to
CHRIST
and
to
his
viccar
:
For
as
wee
read
the
earth
is
the
LORDS
,
and
the
fulnesse
thereof
,
and
as
CHRIST
sayeth
,
all
power
is
given
to
him
both
in
Heaven
and
earth
:
So
it
is
to
be
asfirmed
inclusive
.
That
the
viccar
of
CHRIST
hath
power
on
things
,
coelestiall
,
terrestiall
,
and
infernall
,
which
hee
tooke
immediatly
of
CHRIST
,
All
other
take
it
immediatly
by
Peter
and
the
Pope
,
wherefore
such
as
say
that
the
Pope
hath
dominion
onely
in
spirituall
things
in
the
world
,
and
not
in
temporall
,
may
bee
likned
to
the
councillers
of
the
Kings
of
Syria
2.
Reg.
20.
Which
said
that
the
gods
of
the
mountaines
be
their
gods
:
and
therefore
they
haue
overcome
vs
:
but
let
vs
fight
against
them
in
the
low
meadows
&
valleys
where
they
haue
no
power
:
and
so
wee
shall
prevaile
over
them
:
so
evill
counsellers
now
a
dayes
,
through
their
pestiferous
flatterie
deceave
Kings
and
Princes
of
the
earth
,
saying
,
Popes
,
and
Prelats
,
bee
gods
of
mountaines
,
that
is
,
of
spirituall
things
onely
,
but
they
bee
not
gods
of
valleyes
,
that
is
,
they
haue
no
dominion
over
temporall
things
,
and
there
fore
let
vs
fight
against
them
in
the
valleyes
,
that
is
,
in
the
power
of
the
temporall
possessions
,
and
so
we
shall
prevale
over
them
:
But
what
sayeth
the
sentence
of
GOD
vnto
them
,
let
vs
heare
,
because
saith
hee
the
Sirians
say
that
the
God
of
mountaines
is
their
god
,
and
no
the
god
of
valleyes
,
therefore
I
will
giue
all
this
multitude
into
your
hand
,
and
you
shall
know
that
I
am
the
Lord
,
what
can
bee
more
effectuall
spoken
to
set
foorth
the
Majestie
of
my
jurisdiction
,
which
I
receaved
immediatly
of
the
LORD
,
of
the
LORD
I
say
,
and
no
man
:
For
whereas
Constantine
the
Emperour
gaue
to
Silvester
,
indowing
him
with
this
possession
and
patrimonie
,
that
is
,
so
to
be
exponed
and
taken
not
so
much
for
a
donation
,
as
to
bee
counted
for
a
restitution
made
of
that
,
which
tyranously
was
taken
from
him
before
.
And
againe
,
whereas
I
haue
given
at
sundrie
times
to
Lodovicus
and
other
Emperours
,
of
my
temporall
lands
and
possessions
,
yet
that
was
done
not
so
much
for
recognising
of
homage
to
them
as
for
keeping
peace
with
them
,
for
I
ow
to
Emperours
no
obediene
that
they
can
clame
,
but
they
ow
to
mee
as
their
superior
:
And
therefore
for
a
deversitie
betwixt
their
degree
and
mine
,
in
their
consecration
they
take
their
vnction
in
their
arme
,
I
on
the
head
,
and
as
I
am
superior
to
them
,
so
am
I
superior
to
all
lawes
,
and
free
from
all
constitutions
:
Which
am
able
of
my selfe
,
and
by
my
interpretation
,
to
preferre
equitie
being
not
writen
,
before
the
law
writen
:
having
all
lawes
within
the
chest
of
my
breast
,
as
is
aforesaid
:
and
whatsoever
this
my
Sea
shall
enact
,
approue
,
or
disproue
,
all
men
ought
to
approue
and
reproue
the
same
,
with
out
either
judging
,
disputing
,
doubting
,
or
extracting
.
Such
is
the
priveledge
given
of
CHRIST
in
the
behalfe
of
Peter
to
the
Church
of
Rome
186.
That
what
kingdome
soever
,
countrie
or
province
,
choosing
to
themselves
bishops
&
Ministers
,
although
they
agree
with
all
other
Christsfaithfull
people
in
the
name
of
IESUS
,
that
is
,
in
faith
&
charitie
,
believing
in
the
same
GOD
,
and
in
CHRIST
his
true
Sonne
,
and
in
the
holie
Ghost
,
having
also
the
same
Creid
.
The
same
Evangelists
and
Scriptures
of
the
Apostles
,
yet
notwithstanding
vnlesse
that
Bishops
and
Ministers
take
their
origine
and
ordination
from
this
Apostolicall
state
,
they
are
to
bee
counted
not
of
the
Church
:
so
that
succession
of
faith
only
is
not
sufficient
to
make
a
Church
,
exceptt
he
Ministers
take
their
ordination
by
them
which
haue
their
succession
from
the
Apostles
,
so
their
faith
,
supremacy
,
and
chayre
of
Peter
,
keyes
of
Heaven
,
power
to
binde
and
lowse
,
all
these
bee
inseparable
to
the
Church
of
Rome
.
So
that
it
is
to
be
presumed
,
that
GOD
alwayes
providing
,
and
S.
Peter
helping
the
Bishoprick
and
dyocy
of
Rome
,
shall
never
fall
from
the
faith
,
and
likewise
is
to
bee
presumed
and
presupposed
that
the
Bishop
of
that
Church
is
alwayes
good
and
holy
:
yea
although
hee
bee
not
alwayes
good
,
or
be
destitute
of
his
ownemerits
,
yet
the
merits
of
S.
Peter
predecessor
of
that
place
,
bee
sufficient
for
him
:
who
hath
bequeathed
and
left
a
perpetuall
dowrie
of
merits
,
with
inheritance
of
innocency
to
his
posteritie
.
187.
Yea
,
though
hee
fall
in
homicide
or
adulterie
,
hee
may
sinne
but
yet
hee
cannot
bee
accused
,
but
rather
excused
,
by
the
murtherers
of
Samson
the
shifts
of
the
Hebrewes
,
the
adulterie
of
Iacob
.
188.
And
likewise
if
any
of
his
Clergie
should
bee
found
imbracing
a
woman
,
it
must
be
expounded
and
presupposed
,
that
he
doth
it
to
blesse
her
:
furthermore
,
the
Pope
say
they
hath
all
the
dignities
and
all
powers
of
Patriarchs
.
In
his
primacy
hee
is
Abel
in
governament
the
Arke
of
Noah
,
in
Patriarchdome
:
Abraham
:
in
order
Melchizedeck
,
in
dignitie
Aaron
:
in
authoritie
Moses
:
in
seat
judiciall
;
Samuell
:
in
zeale
Elias
in
meeknesse
David
:
in
power
Peter
:
in
vnction
CHRIST
:
Nay
thou
art
Anti-Christ
,
my
power
they
say
is
greater
then
all
the
Sancts
:
for
whom
I
confirme
,
no
man
may
infirme
,
I
may
favour
and
spaire
whom
I
please
.
189.
To
take
from
one
and
giue
to
another
,
and
if
I
beenemy
to
any
man
,
all
men
ought
to
eshew
that
person
foorthwith
,
and
not
tarrie
and
looke
while
I
bid
them
doe
so
:
all
the
earth

making
it
no

I
can

doe
dispence
,
for
where
they
in
their
Canon
command
a
Priest

fornication
to
bee
deposed
,
I
through
the
authoritie
of
Silvester
doe
alter
the

212.
Considering
the

The

that
neither
except

bee
incorrigible

The

is
also
free

so
that

cannot
incur

,
in
Heaven
,
and
in
Purgatory
,
how
great
it
is
,
and
what
is
the
fulnesse
thereof
,
in
binding
,
and
loosing
,
commanding
,
permitting
,
electing
,
confirming
,
deposing
dispensing
doing
&
vndoing
,
I
wil
intreat
a
litle
of
my
riches
likewise
,
and
great
possessions
,
that
everie
man
may
see
by
my
wealth
,
and
abundance
of
all
things

rents
,

,
my

,
Purple

,
Crownes
of

and
gumes
,
lands
and
lordships
,
how
God
heere
prospereth
and
magnifieth
his
viccar
in
the
earth
:
For
to
mee
pertaineth
first
the
imperiall
citie
of
Rome
,
the
Palace
of
Later
an
,
the
Kingdome
of
Cicile
is
proper
to
mee
,
Aprilia
and
Capua
be
mine
,
also
the
Kingdome
of
England
and
Irland
bee
they
not
brought
to
bee
tributaries
to
mee
,
214.
To
these
I
admit
also
besids
other
Provinces
and
countries
,
both
in
the
occident
and
orient
,
from
the
North
to
the
South
these
dominions
by
name
,
&
others
moe
:
216.
which
Constantinus
the
Emperour
gaue
vnto
mee
,
not
that
they
were
not
mine
of
before
,
hee
did
giue
them
.
217.
For
that
I
tooke
them
of
him
,
I
tooke
them
not
as
a
gift
,
as
is
aforementioned
,
but
as
restitution
,
and
that
I
randred
them
againe
to
Otho
,
I
did
it
not
for
my
duetie
to
him
,
but
onely
for
peace
sake
,
what
should
I
speake
heere
of
my
dayly
enemies
,
of
my
first

,

and
such
like
,
which
came
to
no
small
masse
of
money
,
in
so
much
that
for
a
palle
to
the
Arch-Bishop
of
Mentz
which
was
wont
to
bee
gotten
for
ten
thousand

Florence
,
now
is
growne
to
twentie
seven
thousand
Florence
which
I
receaved
of
Iacobus
the
Arch-Bishop
not
long
before
Basil
counsell
:
besids
the
friuits
of
other
Bishoprickes
in
Germany
,
comming
to
the
number
of
fiftie
,
whereby
what
advantage
commeth
vnto
my
Coffers
,
it
may
partly
bee
conjectured
.
But
what
shall
I
speake
of
Germany
,
219.
when
the
whole
world
is
my
dyocie
,
as
my
Cannonists
doe
say
,
and
all
men
are
bound
to
belieue
,
220.
except
they
will
imagine
as
the
Maniches
doe
two
beginnings
which
is
false
and
hereticall
.
Moses
sayeth
.
In
the
beginning
GOD
made
Heaven
and
earth
,
and
not
in
the
beginnings
,
221.
wherefore
as
I
beginne
so
I
conclude
,
commanding
,
declaring
,
and
pronouncing
,
to
stand
vpon
the
necessitie
of
salvation
,
for
everie
humane
creature
to
be
subject
to
