first_o as_o to_o the_o name_n it_o be_v equivocal_a there_o be_v so_o many_o sort_n that_o be_v call_v common_o by_o the_o one_o name_n of_o papist_n that_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o enumerate_v and_o describe_v they_o all_o 1._o there_o be_v some_o that_o believe_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v but_o a_o humane_a creature_n that_o have_v run_v up_o his_o power_n into_o tyranny_n by_o abuse_n and_o it_o be_v well_o if_o he_o be_v either_o down_o or_o reduce_v to_o his_o first_o state_n but_o they_o take_v themselves_o to_o be_v as_o those_o that_o live_v under_o other_o abusive_a oppress_v or_o

many_o thing_n which_o they_o like_v not_o but_o have_v rather_o they_o be_v reform_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o in_o their_o power_n and_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n command_v they_o the_o same_o they_o

the_o great_a part_n of_o those_o call_a papist_n in_o all_o the_o world_n be_v of_o this_o self-saving_a sort_n as_o we_o see_v in_o all_o country_n that_o the_o great_a number_n be_v or_o seem_v

doctrine_n and_o practice_n and_o yet_o quiet_a themselves_o on_o such_o term_n of_o conformity_n as_o i_o here_o describe_v ii_o another_o sort_n call_v papist_n do_v believe_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v a_o mere_a humane_a creature_n also_o not_o over_o all_o the_o world_n but_o in_o the_o empire_n and_o where_o prince_n let_v he_o and_o consequent_o as_o man_n set_v he_o up_o man_n may_v take_v he_o down_o but_o yet_o that_o it_o be_v a_o orderly_a institution_n as_o king_n and_o emperor_n and_o that_o his_o place_n be_v lawful_a and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o church_n to_o obey_v he_o especial_o when_o prince_n also_o do_v command_v it_o and_o that_o man_n have_v power_n from_o god_n to_o make_v as_o national_a provincial_a and_o patriarchal_a church_n and_o ruler_n so_o also_o a_o universal_a church_n and_o ruler_n for_o order_n and_o unity_n sake_n over_o many_o country_n and_o that_o it_o be_v good_a and_o desirable_a to_o these_o end_n of_o these_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n 1._o one_o sort_n take_v the_o papacy_n and_o patriarch_n to_o be_v a_o lawful_a and_o laudable_a institution_n of_o constantine_n confirm_v by_o other_o prince_n 2._o the_o other_o sort_n take_v they_o to_o be_v laudable_a institution_n of_o general_a council_n or_o else_o of_o particular_a consent_v bishop_n before_o the_o first_o general_n council_n who_o thy_o call_n the_o

some_o think_v that_o the_o roman_a seat_n may_v be_v alter_v and_o the_o church_n upon_o just_a cause_n may_v remove_v the_o primacy_n to_o another_o bishop_n this_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o cardinal_n cusanus_fw-la afore_o cite_v the_o concord_n who_o say_v the_o church_n may_v make_v the_o bishop_n of_o trent_n chief_a 2._o other_o seem_v rather_o to_o think_v that_o god_n have_v by_o decree_n annex_v the_o supremacy_n to_o rome_n and_o yet_o as_o r._n smyth_n the_o bishop_n of_o chalcedon_n and_o ruler_n of_o the_o english_a popish_a clergy_n afore_o cite_v think_v that_o

man_n may_v not_o do_v it_o iv._o the_o whole_a greek_a church_n seem_v yet_o of_o the_o second_o or_o three_o opinion_n that_o the_o pope_n have_v a_o just_a primacy_n in_o one_o empire_n which_o be_v just_o remove_v to_o constantinople_n but_o there_o be_v some_o that_o think_v the_o pope_n have_v also_o a_o just_a primacy_n in_o all_o the_o christian_a world_n and_o yet_o that_o he_o have_v it_o but_o by_o humane_a institution_n v._o there_o be_v other_o that_o think_v the_o pope_n be_v the_o universal_a head_n by_o divine_a institution_n even_o as_o s._n peter_n successor_n by_o derivation_n of_o the_o power_n which_o christ_n give_v peter_n and_o as_o about_o the_o foundation_n so_o about_o the_o subject_a and_o the_o measure_n of_o power_n yea_o who_o be_v the_o true_a chief_a ruler_n over_o the_o uuniversal_a church_n there_o be_v these_o several_a sort_n of_o popery_n i._o some_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v general_a council_n that_o be_v the_o subject_a or_o possessor_n of_o supreme_a church_n power_n and_o infallibility_n and_o that_o the_o pope_n be_v but_o the_o first_o in_o order_n of_o the_o five_o patriarch_n in_o such_o council_n who_o have_v no_o necessary_a right_n to_o call_v they_o nor_o no_o negative_a voice_n in_o they_o nor_o any_o government_n over_o the_o other_o patriarch_n or_o their_o church_n but_o only_o the_o first_o seat_n if_o he_o be_v there_o just_a as_o the_o patriarch_n of_o alexandria_n first_o and_o of_o constantinople_n after_o have_v when_o the_o patriarch_n of_o rome_n be_v absent_a and_o thus_o indeed_o it_o be_v in_o the_o empire_n for_o a_o long_a time_n but_o those_o five_o patriarch_n rule_v not_o all_o the_o world_n no_o more_o than_o our_o two_o provincial_a archbishop_n do_v ii_o other_o call_v papist_n do_v go_v far_o and_o believe_v that_o general_a council_n indeed_o have_v the_o supreme_a legislative_a power_n and_o the_o chief_a executive_a while_o they_o sit_v and_o be_v the_o seat_n of_o infallibility_n but_o because_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v always_o or_o ordinary_a god_n have_v not_o leave_v the_o four_o patriarch_n and_o all_o the_o world_n ungoverned_a in_o the_o interval_n but_o the_o roman_a pope_n be_v the_o supreme_a governor_n of_o the_o world_n when_o there_o be_v no_o general_n council_n yet_o so_o that_o he_o must_v govern_v by_o their_o law_n or_o canon_n iii_o another_o sort_n and_o i_o think_v the_o most_o numerous_a among_o the_o learned_a call_v papist_n hold_v that_o neither_o the_o pope_n alone_o nor_o the_o council_n alone_o be_v the_o seat_n or_o
