to_o you_o that_o be_v byshoppe_n of_o rome_n which_o thing_n be_v not_o true_a what_o other_o power_n or_o authority_n shall_v you_o have_v thereby_o i_o pray_v you_o then_o to_o preach_v the_o

and_o the_o power_n ecclesiastical_a mas._n this_o confusion_n shall_v not_o our_o byshoppe_n in_o any_o wise_a suffer_v and_o that_o for_o two_o cause_n the_o first_o because_o he_o will_v have_v all_o his_o power_n esteem_v of_o man_n to_o be_v spiritual_a and_o heavenlye_a all_o though_o he_o over_o run_v the_o whole_a world_n with_o his_o unbrydled_a tyranny_n the_o latter_a because_o if_o he_o will_v say_v that_o thecclesiasticall_a power_n may_v be_v mingle_v and_o confound_v with_o power_n civil_a he_o may_v be_v afraid_a least_o haply_o the_o emperor_n shall_v challenge_v they_o

between_o he_o and_o his_o brother_n unto_o who_o christ_n make_v answer_v who_o make_v i_o your_o judge_n who_o give_v i_o authority_n to_o divide_v thinheritaunce_n between_o you_o as_o though_o he_o have_v say_v i_o come_v not_o neither_o be_o i_o send_v of_o my_o heavenly_a father_n that_o i_o shall_v challenge_v to_o i_o any_o political_a power_n but_o spiritual_a only_o i_o come_v to_o preach_v unto_o you_o the_o whole_a spiritual_a kingdom_n &_o to_o bring_v you_o to_o that_o highness_n of_o mind_n that_o you_o shall_v leave_v not_o only_o the_o world_n but_o yourself_o also_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o not_o to_o be_v a_o arbitrer_n or_o judge_n of_o your_o strife_n if_o therefore_o our_o byshoppe_n be_v pope_n never_o so_o much_o as_o he_o strive_v to_o be_v and_o christ_n vicar_n in_o earth_n it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o he_o have_v no_o more_o power_n or_o authority_n give_v he_o by_o christ_n then_o have_v christ_n himself_o and_o therefore_o whensoever_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o civil_a matter_n bring_v before_o he_o in_o judgement_n he_o shall_v make_v answer_n with_o christ_n who_o make_v i_o your_o judge_n or_o else_o who_o give_v i_o authority_n to_o divide_v or_o put_v together_o to_o absolve_v or_o condemn_v by_o a_o civil_a fashion_n of_o judgement_n this_o power_n must_v come_v some_o other_o way_n it_o en_fw-fr by_o

or_o time_n to_o think_v any_o whit_n of_o god_n and_o more_o over_o so_o much_o shall_v their_o tyranny_n increase_v y_z t_z they_o shall_v wyllynglye_o desire_v and_o draw_v to_o themselves_o and_o to_o their_o judgement_n seat_n all_o manner_n of_o controversy_n not_o to_o make_v a_o end_n of_o they_o but_o to_o involve_v they_o and_o make_v they_o more_o doubtful_a by_o the_o mean_n whereof_o the_o sewte_n endure_v the_o long_o and_o furthermore_o when_o they_o be_v once_o make_v drink_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o martyr_n they_o will_v sow_v deadly_a discord_n and_o continual_a contention_n amongst_o christian_n prince_n and_o will_v be_v the_o author_n almost_o of_o all_o war_n which_o shall_v continue_v for_o many_o year_n for_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o common_a

against_o the_o popeshyppe_n lepi_n he_o bring_v amongst_o other_o as_o far_o as_o i_o remember_v thautorite_n of_o sayncte_n paul_n who_o write_v to_o the_o galathians_n that_o peter_n be_v the_o apostle_n of_o the_o jue_n ▪_o even_o as_o paul_n be_v of_o the_o gentile_n wherefore_o he_o be_v neither_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o neither_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n neither_o any_o of_o other_o

because_o you_o be_v not_o the_o apostle_n nor_o bishop_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o paul_n shall_v rather_o have_v be_v pope_n of_o the_o gentile_n and_o so_o much_o y_fw-mi ●_o more_o above_o peter_n because_o that_o y_z e_z gentile_n of_o who_o paul_n be_v the_o apostle_n be_v more_o in_o number_a than_o be_v the_o jew_n and_o more_o of_o the_o gentile_n be_v convert_v to_o christ_n then_o of_o the_o jew_n and_o paul_n preach_v also_o in_o sundry_a place_n of_o the_o world_n &_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o gospel_n more_o plentiful_o than_o do_v peter_n wherefore_o he_o be_v a_o apostle_n more_o universal_a and_o more_o profitable_a also_o to_o the_o church_n of_o christ._n and_o paul_n more_o over_o add_v this_o thing_n in_o the_o same_o place_n that_o he_o have_v no_o less_o grace_n be_v the_o apostle_n of_o the_o gentile_n than_o peter_n have_v be_v the_o apostle_n of_o the_o jew_n then_o be_v not_o peter_n a_o great_a apostle_n than_o paul_n be_v and_o so_o consequentlye_o doethe_v it_o follow_v that_o he_o not_o his_o head_n yea_o and_o paul_n do_v plain_o call_v he_o in_o special_a word_n fellow_n even_o as_o he_o do_v both_o james_n and_o john_n v._o and_o peter_n also_o write_v to_o the_o pastor_n of_o other_o church_n command_v they_o not_o imperiouslye_o as_o though_o he_o be_v their_o superior_a but_o exhort_v they_o gentle_o as_o his_o

can_v not_o err_v because_o he_o be_v pope_n but_o give_v place_n to_o paul_n when_o he_o be_v check_v of_o he_o open_o and_o also_o when_o he_o be_v send_v by_o the_o apostle_n in_o to_o samaria_n

for_o i_o be_o your_o head_n but_o he_o obey_v their_o commandment_n as_o a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n of_o christ._n and_o when_o thimbassador_n will_v have_v follow_v his_o matter_n that_o he_o
