Cor. 7.23 and all the commandements of man in the matter of this spirituall kingdome are once for all declared to be nullities Now these traitours incroch vpon his prerogatiues Papistes traitours against Christ his roiall dignitie Christ more be holden to Pilate then to the Papistes Math. 26. by ordering the estate of the house of this king contrarie to his owne expresse will in eclipsing some of his lawes in establishing others altogether new So that Christ may seeme to be much and more beholden to Pilate then to these kind of teachers for he writ him king of the Iewes though he knew not what he did for which cause the Pharisees were angrie with him but these write him king of the Church yet they crown him with thornes and giue him a reed in steed of a scepter As for his propheticall soueraigne authoritie by the spirit of whom all the auncient Prophets spak who afterwards plenarily in his owne person declared the will of his father hath since his ascending into heauen vntill he returne not to teach but to iudge continued to declare the same vnto the world by his faithfull Apostles how is it possible more in this point to betray him whom we are bound to heare in paine of extermination Papists traitors to Christ his Propheticall state and how then first by falsifying that which he preached both by adding to and clipping from and secondly by forbidding his word to be read vnto all nations kindreds in a knowne language fearing say they least men should become heretikes that is least light ingender darkenes and truth lying and what is this but neither to enter themselues Math. 5.
