A pistle to the Christen reader The revelation of Antichrist. Antithesis

The hebrew sayeth / ve all sichlo / which signifieth. And after his own mind / understō ding ⟨image 80⟩the verb shall be / or shall do / or such like. Here is the prerogative of the popes kingdom touched / whereby the pope is elevated above all other / and is declared to be subject to no mans judgement. For he will judge every man / and will be judged of no man as the wicked papists do crake with a loud and shrill voice / that the thrones and courts of them that must give judgement / must of this see receive their sentence / Groū ding him upon this he runneth riot in his decrees like a mad man that the inferior see shall not judge the superior. To this intent pertaineth the chapter Cuncta per mundū novit ecclesia / Where in it is determined that it is not lawful to judge of the sentence of the church of Rome. I pray the what may be spoken or hard more abominable / than this blasphemous and wretched voice. This is it that Peter doth speak of in the .ij. of. the .ij. epistle / ¹Presumptuous they are and standing well in their own conceit. Is not this an incredible presumption that one wicked & wretched man / which is oppressed with all iniquity and mischief / most rude and unlearned / should take upon him to be judged of no man / to err in nothing / to judge all men? This is it that they meant / when they did reach with most cursed blasphemy that the pope was above the council. And that it belongeth only to him to expound the scriptures ⟨p. lxxix⟩/ and that his judgement must be preferred above the hole congregation. Nether have they so much brain as to judge that the congregation (ye and every faithful in Christ) hath the holy ghost / to whose judgement the very angels ought to obey / and much more this wicked and unlearned man / which is compassed about and instruct only with such as he is him self.
