The Pope in the night of the birth of our Lorde doeth hallowe the sword which he afterward giueth vnto some Prince in token of the infinite power which is giuen vnto the Pope according to that saying All power is giuen vnto me in heauen in earth that also He shal rule frō seato sea frō the riuer to the ende of the earth So it is also in the Glosse of the Canon law to wit that the Pope is al things aboue all thīgs that he is the lord of lords hath the right of the king of kīgs ouer his subiects that he may turn roūd into square that he is the cause of causes therfore no inquirie is to be made into his authoritie because there is no cause of the first cause that the whole world is the Popes diocesse that his authority extēdeth vnto things in heauen earth and vnder the earth that he may command the Angels that he hath so great power both in Purgatorie also in hell that hee can by his pardons deliuer as many soules as hee will which are in those places place them presently in heauen in the seats of them which be blessed as it is saide in the Bull of Clement the sixt that hee hath such power in heauen that hee may canonize whome hee will that is dead for a saint though all Byshops and Cardinals were against it And who can recken vp all his blasphemies To conclude Sixtus quintus to omit the rest doth at this day thus begin in one of his Bulles The authoritie graunted to blessed Peter and to all his successours by the infinite power of the everlasting King excelleth the power of all earthly kings and Princes Secondly for that he will be accounted the highest iudge who neither can erre in making decrees concerning faith or lawes concerning manners neither yet ought to be iudged of any And for that hee setteth vp himselfe aboue all euen the generall councels and ordaineth new sacraments and transformeth and altereth those which Christ did institute He imposeth new lawes vpon mens conscienees as for those which Christ made hee doeth ratifie and repeale at his pleasure as Cap. nunc autem dist 21.

No council is or shal euer be established which shall not be cōfirmed supported by the Popes authority And so the Glosse saith again that the Popes pleasure is heauenly and for this cause he may chāge the nature of thigs by applying those things which are substantial in one thing vnto another That he hath allaws in the closet of his brest that he hath the same consistory which God hath and the same iudgement seat with Christ that he can make any thing of nothing and make that to be a sentence or iudgement which is none that in what so euer he pleaseth his will is to him in steade of reason and yet no man may say Why dost thou thus that he may dispense beyond law make iustice of iniustice by concealing and altering the laws that he can do all things sinne excepted whatsoeuer God himself cā do that he must be iudged of none that if he should throw downe heaps of soules into the hels yet none may demand of him Why doest thou it that he may dispense against both Apostle and Apostolicall Canon that he is aboue lawe that what soeuer is done of the Pope is to be supposed is done of God that he is all and aboue all that hee may doe all things aboue law contrarie to law and without lawe ad cap. quanto de translat Episcopi cap. proposuit de concess praeb and else where c.

when after a watch word giuen the Eucharist was taken away hee would by his conspiratours haue killed the two brethren Iulianus and Laurentius Medices and did indeede slay the one and wound the other as Raphael Volateran recordeth in the 5 of his Geographie In Leo the tenth who is reported to haue answered vnto Peter Bembus when hee alledged a saying out of the Gospell What doest thou alledge or tell me of that fable Hee is also blasphemous in that he claimeth for his owne that which is Gods doeth speake against God namely when he saieth that he is God and of equall power with Christ the head and spouse of the Church the which we haue more fully opened before Further when he affirmeth that the Scripture is obscure and imperfect and doubtfull and that hee may interprete it as he listeth and may make new articles of faith and yet he neither erreth herein nor is to be controlled by any As also when he boasteth that he can graunt indulgences and pardons and remission of all sinnes to whom soeuer he will He is also ambitious and proud both in his wordes and deedes because hee beeing euen sicke of an vnsaciable thirst after honour and vnlawfull desire of lordlinesse doeth set vp himselfe aboue the Church aboue councils aboue all magistrates and accounteth all Emperours kings and princes which are in Europe to be but his vassals his tenauntes and almost his slaues and drudges hee treadeth them vnder his feete Of which pride and arrogancie of his we before brought testimonies euen out of the Canon lawe but nowe wee will bring others like vnto them out of the booke which is called Liber ceremoniarum Romanae curiae Where it is saide that all men of what honour or preheminence soeuer they be so soone as they come within the sight of the Pope ought to bowe their knees thrise obseruing equall distance of pace and to kisse his feete Further when the Pope doeth get vp on horse-backe the greatest prince of them which be present though he be a king or Emperour must hold the Popes stirrup then lead the horse by the bridle a little on the way But if that the Pope be not carried on horsebacke but on his chaire whether hee be king or Emperour that is present it skilleth not they must cary the seate it selfe with the Pope in it a while vpon their shoulders Againe that the prince of the city into which the Pope shall enter though he be a king shall leade the popes horse by the bridle or if the pope be caried in his chaire shall together with the chiefe of his Nobles carry the same a good way then when the pope commandeth him the king shall take his horse ride according vnto his place Further the Emperor must at the baket holde water for the pope to wash his hands And moreouer when the pope hath a feast the Emperor or els the king of the Romans must cary the first messe or seruice And to conclude the pope doth no reuerence at all to any mā only he raiseth vp himselfe when the Emperour kisseth him For examples these are chiefly to be noted first of the pope in generall who offreth his feet to be kissed of the Emperor kings princes Cardinals bishops the rest Then specially of pope Sylvester of whome it is reported that for the honour of S. Peter Pseudoconstantinus or that feigned Constātine helde his horse bridle in his hād when he tooke horse and plaid the gentleman vsher or sergeant before him Dist 96. Thirdly of pope Hadrian the fourth who was very angry with Fredericke the Emperour and did in reproch obiect vnto him that when as hee woulde haue helde his stirrup at his lighting downe from his horse he came and helde not the further stirrup as hee should but the other And that he also had set the Emperours name before the popes in certain letters which were sent vnto him Fourthly of Alexander the third who set one foote in the necke of Fredericke the Emperour when he was prostrate and suppliant at his feet in the Cathedrall Church of Venice that he might haue his excommunication released and commanding that the verse of Psalme should be song of his priests Thou shult walke vpon the Serpent and the Basiliske thou shalt tread vnder foote the Lyon and the Dragon Fiftly of Boniface the eight Anno 1300 who shewed himselfe at Rome in a great assembly of the people by reason of a Iubile then solemnized the first day of the solemnitie with all the ornaments of the Pope and the next day hee came foorth clad with the Emperours robe or coate armour and commaunded a drawne sword to be caried before him himselfe crying with a loud voice I am both Pope Emperor haue authoritie both in heauen earth within few dayes after did proudly reiect Albertus who was created Emp. by the electours of the Empire desired to be confirmed by him Affirming moreouer that no election could be authenticall which was made without his authority sith that he alone had the authoritie of both the swords which when Albertus Crautzius superintendent of the church of Hanburgh reciteth hee maketh this exclamation O Peter behold thy successour O Sauiour Christ behold thy Vicar beholde the pride of the feruant of thy seruants vnto what height he is now come He is also lawlesse because hee doeth what he listeth he abolisheth the lawes which Christ hath made maketh new at his owne pleasure and because he will be iudged of no man but aduanceth himselfe aboue lawe as wee shewed heretofore Whereof we haue example in the forbidding of the mariage of Priestes and certaine meats of the chalice in the Lords supper which is contrary vnto the reuealed will of God and of Christ our Lord. Further in dispensing with degrees contrarie to the lawe of God and nature as that Pope Martin the fift gaue dispensation that a man might take his owne sister to wife And that others haue dispensed that any man might mary two sisters his fathers sister or his mothers or any woman two brethren her vncle by her fathers side or by her mothers and that which some also of the schoolemen doe teach vpon the 4. sent dist 34. Caietan secunda secundae Thomae quaest 154 Art 9. to wit that the Pope may dispense with all degrees excepting the mariage of the father and the sonne with the daughter and the mother He is also a single man but yet a filthy fornicatour because that hee in forbidding mariage vnto his clergie the Nuns commandeth single life The authous defenders of the which law are these especially Siricius the pope C. plurimos dist 82.
