synners not possessours that you maye knowe sayth he that the sone of man hath powre and anctorytie to forgyue synnes And afterwardes he sayth whether of these two semeth to the greatter dygnytie and powre to forgyue synnes or elles to deuyde and parte landes lordshyppes These inferyour and vyle earthly thynges haue theyr iudges the kynges and prynces of the earthe why do you inuade the bondes of other men vsurpynge that which belongeth to them Thus than it foloweth that it belongeth not to the offyce of a bysshoppe or preestes to iudge by coactyue iugement contencyous carnall actes or temporall thynges but rather the bysshoppes or preestes medlynge with suche busynes inuade other mens boundes that is to saye trouble the offyce of an other man stretch forthe theyr sythe in to an other mannes corne after the mynde of Bernarde Therfore the apostle wolde that they shulde iudge by coactyue iudgement whiche are not ordayned to be mynystres of the gospell and whiche haue goten the knowlege of exteryoure or outwarde thynges that is to wyt of cyuyle actes or deades for as moche than as no man that trespaseth is exempte from suche maner iudgement it appereth that aswell preestes as those that ben no preestes be subiecte and vnderneth the coactyue iudgement of prynces and lay gouernours here it is dylygently to be marked and taken hede of that the apostle in wrytynge generally to the chrysten men of Corynthe as it appereth by the salutacyon and also in that he putteth contēptyble persons in the churche that is to wyt seculer persons after the mynde of the glose dothe not saye I my selfe ordayne or set contemptyble persons neyther yet any other suche man iudgeth the seculer or worldly matyers whiche you shal haue for me or by my auctorytie Neyther he lefte behynde hym any man there in his stede to iudge matyers or to cōstytute or ordayne suche maner iudges whiche thynge for all that he wolde haue done or oughte to haue done yf this thyng had be appertaynynge to his offyce and auctoryte aswel as he dyd of preestes and bysshoppes for he dyd instytute and ordayne them in the places where chrysten congregacyons were and cōmaunded them or elles cōmytted it to them to make instytucyon of other bysshoppes and preestes as it is euydent in the thyrde chapytre of the fyrst epystle to Tymothe and in the fyrste chapytre of y e epystle to Titꝰ for thus he sayd to Titus for this cause I haue lefte y ● in Crete lande y t thou shuldest correcte those thyngꝭ which are lackynge or wantynge y t is to wytte offences synnes in them which trespase y t thou shuldest put to y t whiche is good as the glose saythe that thou shuldest constytute or dayne or set preestes in euery cytie neyther dyd he cōmaunde seculet actes to be iudged by bysshoppes or preestes but he dyd rather forbyd it wherfore Bernarde in the place afore alleged sayth in this wyse But yet here the apostle what he iudgeth or thynketh of such maner ꝑsons is there in so moch sayth he neuer one wyse man amonge you whiche maye iudge betwene his brother and brother I speake it to make you abasshed and ashamed than it foloweth Ordayne them whiche are contemptyble persones in the churche to be iudges accordynge than to the mynde of the apostle thou that art an apostolyke person doste vnsembly and vnconuenyently to vsurpe and take vnto thy selfe a vyle offyce and the degree of contemptyble persons wherfore the apostle also whiche was a bysshoppe sayd thus instructynge an other bysshop that is to wyt Timothe no man warrynge to god entangleth hymselfe in seculer busynes the same Bernarde sayth afterwarde Supposest thou that these tymes coulde suffre abyde it yf when men stryue and go to lawe for worldlye inherytaunce and do requyre of the to gyue iudgemente bytwene them thou woldest make answere to them with the wordes of chryst O you men who hath ordayned me to be iudge ouer you what maner iudgement wold men forthwith gyue of the what wolde the vplandysshe and the vnlerned man say Thou knowest not thy prymacye thou knowest not the hyghe and very magnyfycent see thou doste derogate and mynysshe the apostolyke dygnytie And yet I suppose they which wolde say thus wyll not shew where at any tyme any of the apostles satte as iudges ouer men or dyuyders of termes or boundes or as dystrybuters of landes and to be shorte I rede that the apostles stode to be iudged but I rede not y t they sate as iudges It shall be sene perauenture but it hath not ben sene Is the seruaunte to be iudged a mynyssher of his dygnyte bycause he wylleth not to be greatter than he whiche sent hym Or the same because he dothe not go beyonde the boundes whiche his fathers hath sette The maystre and lorde hym selfe sayde who hathe ordayned or made me iudge and shall the seruaunt be thought to haue iniurye or wronge excepte he do iudge al men Thus than Bernarde sayth that the successoure of the apostles dothe vnsemely and vnaccordyngly yf he vsurpeth or taketh vnto hym selfe the offyce of a iudge And the holy apostle cōmaunded that all men indyfferently no man excepted neyther bysshop neyther preeste or deacon oughte to be vnder the iudgemēt coactyue of iudges or prynces and gouernours seculer and that suche seculer gouernours ought not but to be obeyed onlesse they dyd cōmaunde any thynge to be done dyrectlye agaynst the lawe of the euerlastynge saluacyon wherfore in the. xiii chapytre to the Romaynes he saythe Let euery soule be subiecte to the hyghe powers for there is no powre but from god and those powers that be are ordayned of god Therfore whosoeuer resysteth the powre resysteth the ordynaunce of god and those whiche resysteth dothe purchase and gette to them selfe dampnacyon for prynces or gouernours are not feared of them that are well doers but of them that dothe euyll wylte thou not drede the powre do good and thou shalt obtayne prayse of hym for he is a mynyster to the for good but yf thou shalt do euyll than feare for he beareth not the swerde without a cause for he is the mynyster of god to punysshe and to do vengeaunce on hym that dothe euyll Therfore be you subgiectes for so you ought of necessytie not onely because of wrathe but also because of cōscyence For because of this you do pay trybutꝭ For they are mynysters of god seruynge to this same thyng Gyue you to all men theyr dueties trybute to whom trybute is due rente to whom rente feare to whom feare honoure to whom honoure is due to be gyuen And I was wyllyng also vpon these wordes of the apostle worthye to be noted to brynge in the glose after the mynde of sayntes and catholyke Doctours because of thyse thynges whiche the apostle hathe sayde and the glose maker but our purpose is so openly and euydently
