and_o to_o refresh_v my_o spirit_n with_o writing_n i_o have_v write_v for_o myself_o haec_fw-la mihi_fw-la cecini_fw-la &_o musis_fw-la &_o si_fw-la nemo_fw-la alius_fw-la audierit_fw-la i_o have_v sing_v these_o thing_n to_o myself_o and_o the_o muse_n though_o no_o body_n else_o shall_v hear_v they_o sure_o and_o honest_a mean_n to_o convert_n all_o heretic_n chap._n i._n that_o the_o papacy_n have_v no_o divine_a title_n the_o vanity_n and_o nullity_n of_o those_o which_o it_o draw_v from_o the_o gospel_n whosoever_o shall_v read_v the_o new_a testament_n will_v there_o find_v that_o jesus_n christ_n alone_o be_v establish_v as_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o say_v of_o any_o other_o that_o she_o shall_v be_v his_o body_n or_o believer_n his_o member_n that_o belong_v to_o none_o but_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v also_o the_o only_a spouse_n of_o the_o church_n which_o will_v be_v adulterous_a shall_v she_o submit_v to_o another_o and_o this_o other_o can_v not_o be_v but_o a_o evil_a person_n and_o a_o reprobate_n since_o that_o in_o take_v the_o quality_n of_o spouse_n of_o the_o church_n he_o must_v renounce_v that_o of_o son_n of_o the_o church_n and_o so_o can_v not_o have_v god_n for_o his_o father_n according_a to_o the_o maxim_n that_o he_o who_o have_v not_o the_o church_n for_o his_o mother_n have_v not_o god_n for_o his_o father_n now_o no_o one_o person_n can_v be_v the_o head_n the_o spouse_n and_o son_n of_o the_o church_n at_o the_o same_o time_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o pope_n do_v assume_v these_o title_n to_o themselves_o by_o a_o vanity_n which_o exceed_v all_o folly_n and_o without_o be_v able_a to_o produce_v any_o reason_n for_o it_o divine_a or_o humane_a but_o let_v we_o see_v what_o they_o say_v to_o maintain_v their_o pretension_n they_o say_v that_o among_o the_o jew_n one_o man_n only_o viz._n aaron_n have_v the_o conduct_n of_o divine_a service_n and_o be_v head_n of_o the_o levite_n and_o that_o by_o consequence_n there_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n a_o authority_n like_v unto_o this_o establish_v over_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o that_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n perform_v the_o function_n of_o this_o charge_n whereupon_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n to_o be_v say_v first_o of_o all_o it_o be_v not_o difficult_a for_o aaron_n to_o acquit_v himself_o of_o this_o in_o so_o little_a a_o state_n as_o judea_n and_o in_o one_o only_a city_n of_o this_o state_n which_o be_v jerusalem_n and_o in_o one_o only_a temple_n of_o that_o city_n for_o it_o be_v not_o allow_v to_o perform_v divine_a service_n nor_o to_o sacrifice_n elsewhere_o whereas_o christianity_n be_v at_o this_o time_n spread_v over_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o therefore_o one_o single_a person_n only_o can_v perform_v these_o function_n every_o where_o it_o be_v as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v that_o because_o france_n be_v well_o govern_v by_o one_o king_n he_o may_v as_o well_o govern_v all_o the_o state_n of_o the_o habitable_a earth_n and_o yet_o it_o will_v be_v much_o more_o easy_a for_o he_o to_o do_v it_o than_o for_o one_o bishop_n to_o govern_v the_o whole_a church_n because_o as_o it_o be_v well_o know_v the_o ecclesiastical_a ministry_n can_v inflict_v corporal_a punishment_n upon_o delinquent_n as_o the_o civil_a government_n may_v and_o do_v beside_o aaron_n be_v no_o way_n the_o figure_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n for_o then_o the_o type_n will_v have_v be_v more_o excellent_a than_o the_o original_a but_o he_o be_v the_o figure_n of_o our_o great_a and_o sovereign_a high_a priest_n jesus_n christ._n furthermore_o aaron_n be_v not_o the_o monarch_n of_o the_o levite_n but_o as_o the_o doge_fw-it be_v at_o venice_n for_o according_a to_o all_o the_o talmudist_n he_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o jurisdiction_n of_o the_o great_a sanhedrim_n and_o to_o their_o censure_n whereas_o the_o pope_n pretend_v to_o be_v not_o only_o the_o monarch_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n but_o particular_o of_o all_o the_o clergy_n and_o beside_o all_o this_o there_o be_v a_o express_a institution_n of_o god_n for_o this_o charge_n and_o for_o the_o person_n of_o aaron_n and_o of_o his_o successor_n whereas_o there_o be_v nothing_o like_o it_o for_o the_o papacy_n nor_o for_o the_o person_n of_o those_o who_o exercise_v it_o we_o see_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o institution_n of_o aaron_n charge_n with_o many_o ceremony_n for_o his_o instalment_n and_o for_o his_o anoint_v many_o ordinance_n for_o the_o exercise_n of_o this_o charge_n and_o for_o the_o succession_n many_o chapter_n which_o speak_v of_o the_o subordination_n of_o priest_n and_o levite_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_n we_o find_v not_o one_o word_n in_o the_o gospel_n of_o this_o pretend_a charge_n of_o universal_a head_n of_o the_o church_n of_o vicar-general_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o successor_n of_o st._n peter_n nor_o any_o thing_n that_o have_v any_o relation_n to_o it_o and_o yet_o it_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v there_o clear_a and_o evident_a since_o that_o this_o ministry_n be_v to_o be_v of_o a_o extent_n a_o thousand_o time_n great_a and_o the_o thing_n in_o itself_o be_v prodigious_a and_o appear_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o messiah_n his_o kingdom_n and_o to_o the_o gospel_n we_o see_v several_a order_n of_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o often_o speak_v of_o but_o not_o one_o word_n that_o can_v any_o way_n relate_v to_o the_o pope_n when_o sure_o that_o be_v the_o place_n to_o have_v speak_v of_o it_o especial_o if_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n to_o be_v subject_a to_o he_o as_o they_o will_v have_v it_o and_o if_o he_o have_v the_o power_n as_o they_o will_v persuade_v we_o as_o well_o over_o the_o temporality_n as_o the_o spirituality_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n st._n paul_n who_o without_o question_n be_v of_o as_o great_a ability_n as_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o of_o these_o people_n humour_n who_o pretend_v to_o govern_v the_o whole_a church_n since_o he_o who_o have_v not_o the_o thousand_o part_n of_o christian_n to_o take_v care_n of_o as_o the_o pope_n will_v have_v according_a to_o their_o supposition_n declare_v that_o no_o mortal_a man_n be_v sufficient_a to_o perform_v every_o thing_n that_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v do_v in_o it_o and_o that_o he_o be_v himself_o overwhelm_v with_o the_o care_n he_o take_v for_o all_o the_o church_n nor_o have_v st._n peter_n the_o courage_n of_o our_o good_a pope_n who_o believe_v themselves_o capable_a of_o govern_v the_o whole_a church_n and_o they_o may_v do_v it_o without_o difficulty_n after_o the_o method_n they_o take_v since_o he_o agree_v with_o st._n paul_n that_o st._n paul_n shall_v go_v towards_o the_o gentile_n and_o he_o towards_o the_o jew_n and_o so_o they_o part_v the_o ministry_n between_o they_o at_o least_o the_o pope_n after_o aaron_n example_n aught_o to_o meddle_v only_o in_o ecclesiastical_a and_o not_o in_o secular_a affair_n as_o they_o do_v pretend_v to_o lord_n it_o over_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o we_o see_v that_o aaron_n apply_v himself_o only_o to_o the_o function_n of_o his_o charge_n and_o that_o in_o thing_n temporal_a and_o civil_a he_o be_v subject_a to_o moses_n and_o leave_v the_o absolute_a direction_n of_o they_o to_o he_o instead_o of_o imitate_v aaron_n the_o head_n of_o the_o levite_n in_o his_o modesty_n the_o pope_n pretend_v to_o be_v lord_n not_o only_o of_o the_o temporality_n but_o of_o the_o spirituality_n of_o all_o the_o state_n of_o the_o world_n and_o will_v in_o this_o be_v vicar_n of_o jesus_n christ_n though_o he_o declare_v that_o his_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n though_o he_o teach_v his_o disciple_n that_o he_o among_o they_o who_o will_v be_v the_o first_o shall_v be_v the_o last_o though_o he_o flee_v away_o when_o they_o will_v have_v make_v he_o a_o king_n though_o he_o pay_v tribute_n to_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o world_n when_o he_o be_v himself_o lord_n both_o of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n though_o he_o express_o forbid_v his_o disciple_n to_o bear_v rule_n over_o any_o one_o whatsoever_o the_o pope_n notwithstanding_o this_o will_v govern_v and_o pretend_v that_o our_o saviour_n do_v amiss_o when_o he_o speak_v thus_o and_o that_o they_o know_v better_a than_o he_o how_o to_o improve_v the_o right_n of_o his_o prerogative_n for_o my_o part_n i_o believe_v that_o such_o a_o king_n as_o jesus_n christ_n who_o hold_v the_o earth_n in_o his_o hand_n according_a to_o the_o prophet_n expression_n who_o uphold_v all_o thing_n by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o word_n as_o st._n paul_n say_v who_o know_v the_o heart_n of_o all_o man_n and_o
