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.2 Ut illud Pauli, Dei aedificatio estis: Dei Agricultura estis: Jeremiah deposed no King. But we understand, that he was placed over Nations, and Kingdoms, as having Authority over the same, in opening, and preaching of the Truth. He speaketh non of the overthrowing of the Kingdoms of the World, but of the overthrowing of vices, and of the planting of Faith, and manners. In this sense S. Paul saith to the Corinthians, Ye are God's building: Ye are God's tillage.

What Kinge, or Prince did Hieremie subdue? What People or Countrie euer did he ouerthrowe? One of your owne Doctours saithe, 1Hieremias 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.2 Vt illud Pauli, Dei aedificatio estis: Dei Agricultura estis: Hieremie deposed no Kinge. But wee vnderstande, that he was placed ouer Nations, and Kingedomes, as hauinge Authoritie ouer the same, in openinge, and preachinge of the Truthe. He speaketh non of the ouerthrowinge of the Kingedomes of the World, but of the ouerthrowinge of vices, and of the planting of Faith, and manners. In this sense S. Paule saith to the Corinthians, Ye are Goddes buildinge: Ye are Goddes tillage.
