we_o do_v to_o wit_n that_o he_o surpass_v the_o other_o apostle_n both_o in_o authority_n primacy_n and_o principality_n but_o p●●●ently_o after_o his_o old_a fashion_n he_o water_v his_o former_a

these_o mean_n to_o decide_v all_o controversi●●_n about_o matter_n of_o faith_n beside_o he_o can_v excommunicate_v any_o christian_a be_v he_o king_n or_o kaesar_n if_o they_o by_o obstinate_a

neither_o peter_n nor_o any_o bishop_n of_o rome_n have_v or_o have_v any_o such_o supremacy_n over_o the_o catholic_a church_n but_o that_o all_o supremacy_n under_o christ_n be_v appertain_v to_o king_n and_o prince_n with_o he_o in_o their_o dominion_n and_o that_o our_o doctrine_n be_v good_a and_o they_o false_a i_o will_v make_v manifest_a by_o sundry_a reason_n first_o christ_n must_v be_v consider_v as_o he_o be_v a_o king_n two_o way_n first_o as_o he_o be_v god_n so_o be_v he_o king_n over_o all_o by_o right_n of_o creation_n and_o so_o as_o god_n have_v deputy_n on_o earth_n to_o govern_v the_o world_n namely_o king_n and_o prince_n second_o he_o be_v king_n by_o right_a of_o redemption_n over_o the_o whole_a church_n which_o he_o have_v redeem_v with_o his_o precious_a blood_n and_o so_o as_o mediator_n and_o redeemer_n he_o have_v no_o fellow_n nor_o deputy_n for_o no_o creature_n be_v capable_a of_o this_o office_n to_o do_v in_o the_o room_n and_o stead_n of_o christ_n that_o which_o himself_o do_v because_o every_o work_n of_o the_o mediator_n must_v arise_v from_o the_o effect_n of_o two_o nature_n concur_v in_o one_o action_n namely_o the_o godhead_n and_o manhood_n again_o christ_n priesthood_n can_v pass_v from_o his_o person_n to_o any_o other_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o neither_o his_o kingly_a nor_o his_o prophetical_a he_o will_v have_v say_v priestly_a office_n can_v pass_v from_o he_o to_o any_o creature_n nay_o it_o be_v needless_a for_o christ_n to_o have_v a_o deputy_n consider_v that_o a_o deputy_n only_o serve_v to_o supply_v the_o absence_n of_o the_o principal_a whereas_o christ_n be_v always_o present_a by_o his_o word_n and_o spirit_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o the_o minister_n in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n be_v christ_n deputy_n i_o answer_v that_o they_o be_v no_o deputy_n but_o only_o active_a instrument_n because_o they_o do_v only_o utter_v the_o word_n but_o it_o be_v christ_n that_o work_v in_o the_o hart_n in_o like_a manner_n in_o excommunication_n it_o be_v christ_n that_o cut_v that_o excommunicate_a person_n from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o church_n do_v only_o declare_v this_o by_o cut_v he_o off_o from_o the_o rest_n of_o christ_n people_n until_o he_o repent_v so_o that_o in_o all_o ecclesiastical_a action_n christ_n have_v no_o deputy_n but_o only_a instrument_n the_o whole_a action_n be_v personal_a in_o respect_n of_o christ._n be_v not_o this_o trow_v you_o a_o pretty_a piece_n of_o a_o argument_n but_o we_o must_v bear_v with_o the_o length_n of_o it_o
