But your Holy Father Innocentius, lest he should seem to want Scriptures, for proof hereof allegeth also the words of God, spoken unto the Prophet Jeremiah: 1Behold I have set thee over Nations, and Kingdoms, to the intent, that thou mayest pull up, and scatter, and build, and plant. Ergo, saith he, the Emperor is Subject unto the Pope. These proofs, ye say, Our Defenders could not find. Further, ye say, in your sober manner, When will you forsake the School of Lying? Truly if there be any such School, M. Harding, you may claim of good right to be the Master. We are as far from lying, as you are from saying the Truth.

But what make these words of Jeremiah for the Bishop of Rome? Will ye say, that the Prophet Jeremiah was the Pope? Or, that the King then was sworn to be subject, and loyal unto him? What King, or Prince did Jeremiah subdue? What People or Country ever did he overthrow? One of your own Doctors saith, 1Jeremiah nullum Regem deposuit. Sed intelligitur positus supra Centes, & Regna, quasi habens Authoritatem super ea in annuntiando, & praedicando Vera. Nō de destructione Regum Mundi, sed de destructione Vitiorum, & plantatione Fidei, & morum.
