christian_a kingdom_n it_o be_v altogether_o idle_a as_o all_o that_o have_v any_o understanding_n may_v easy_o perceive_v for_o it_o be_v never_o hear_v of_o from_o the_o church_n infancy_n until_o this_o day_n that_o ever_o any_o pope_n do_v command_v that_o any_o prince_n though_o a_o heretic_n though_o a_o ethnic_n though_o a_o persecuter_n shall_v be_v murder_v or_o do_v approve_v of_o the_o fact_n when_o it_o be_v do_v by_o any_o other_o and_o why_o i_o pray_v you_o do_v only_o the_o king_n of_o england_n fear_v that_o which_o none_o of_o all_o other_o the_o prince_n in_o christendom_n either_o do_v fear_n or_o ever_o do_v fear_n but_o as_o i_o say_v these_o vain_a pretext_n be_v but_o the_o trap_n and_o stratagem_n of_o satan_n of_o which_o kind_n i_o can_v produce_v not_o a_o few_o out_o of_o ancient_a story_n if_o i_o go_v about_o to_o write_v a_o book_n and_o not_o a_o epistle_n one_o only_o for_o example_n sake_n i_o will_v call_v to_o your_o memory_n s._n gregorius_n nazianzenus_n in_o his_o first_o oration_n against_o julian_n the_o emperor_n report_v that_o he_o the_o more_o easy_o to_o beguile_v the_o simple_a christian_n do_v insert_v the_o image_n of_o the_o false_a god_n into_o the_o picture_n of_o the_o emperor_n which_o the_o roman_n do_v use_v to_o bow_v down_o unto_o with_o a_o civil_a kind_n of_o reverence_n so_o that_o no_o man_n can_v do_v reverence_n to_o the_o emperor_n picture_n but_o withal_o he_o must_v adore_v the_o image_n of_o the_o false_a god_n whereupon_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o many_o be_v deceive_v and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o that_o find_v out_o the_o emperor_n craft_n and_o refuse_v to_o worship_v his_o picture_n those_o be_v most_o grievous_o punish_v as_o man_n that_o have_v contemn_v the_o emperor_n in_o his_o image_n some_o such_o like_a thing_n i_o think_v i_o see_v in_o the_o oath_n that_o be_v offer_v to_o you_o which_o be_v so_o crafty_o compose_v that_o no_o man_n can_v detest_v treason_n against_o the_o king_n and_o make_v profession_n of_o his_o civil_a subjection_n but_o he_o must_v be_v constrain_v perfidious_o to_o deny_v the_o primacy_n of_o the_o apostolic_a sea_n but_o the_o servant_n of_o christ_n and_o especial_o the_o chief_a priest_n of_o the_o lord_n ought_v to_o be_v so_o far_o from_o take_v a_o unlawful_a oath_n where_o they_o may_v indamage_v their_o faith_n that_o they_o ought_v to_o beware_v that_o ry_o the_o great_a have_v write_v in_o his_o 42._o epistle_n of_o his_o 11._o book_n let_v not_o the_o reverence_n due_a to_o the_o apostolic_a sea_n be_v trouble_v by_o any_o man_n presumption_n for_o then_o the_o state_n of_o the_o member_n do_v remain_v entire_a when_o the_o head_n of_o the_o faith_n be_v not_o bruise_v by_o any_o injury_n therefore_o by_o s._n gregory_n testimony_n when_o they_o be_v busy_a about_o disturb_v or_o diminish_v or_o take_v away_o of_o the_o primacy_n of_o the_o apostolic_a sea_n then_o be_v they_o busy_a about_o cut_v off_o the_o very_a head_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o dissolve_v of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o of_o all_o the_o member_n which_o self_n same_o thing_n s._n leo_n do_v confirm_v in_o his_o three_o sermon_n of_o his_o assumption_n to_o the_o popedom_n when_o he_o say_v our_o lord_n have_v a_o special_a care_n of_o peter_n and_o pray_v proper_o for_o peter_n faith_n as_o though_o the_o state_n of_o other_o be_v more_o stable_n when_o their_o prince_n mind_n be_v not_o to_o be_v overcome_v whereupon_o himself_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o bishop_n of_o vienna_n do_v not_o doubt_v to_o affirm_v that_o he_o be_v not_o partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a mystery_n that_o dare_v depart_v from_o the_o solidity_n of_o peter_n who_o also_o say_v that_o he_o who_o think_v the_o primacy_n to_o be_v deny_v to_o that_o sea_n he_o can_v in_o no_o sort_n lessen_v the_o authority_n of_o it_o but_o by_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o pride_n do_v
