This, 1I trow, it is, that the Pope proclaimeth him self the Heir Apparent of all Kingdoms: This it is, that Pope Nicolas saithe, Christus Beato Petro, Aeternae vitae Clavigero, Terreni simul, & Coelestis imperij jura commisit: Christ hath committed unto Blessed Peter, the Keiebearer of Everlasting life, the right both of the worldly, and also of the Heavenly Empire: This is it, that some are so bold to say, 2Papa totius Mundi obtinet Principatum: The Pope hath the Princehood of all the whole World: And that some others have saide, Papa est Rex Regum, & Dominus Dominantium: The Pope is King of Kings, and Lord of Lords: And that Pope Adrian saith of him self, as it is alleged before, Imperator, quod habet, totum habet à nobis. Ecce in potestate nostra est, ut demus Imperium, cui volumus: What so ever the Emperor hath, he hath it of us. It is in our power to bestow the Empire upon whom we list. This, M. Harding, is that Divine Power, that, as you say, is given to the Pope. But as S. John, S. Augustine, S. Chrysostom, and S. Gregory say, the self same Divine Power is given also to Antichrist. And therefore it is well noted in your own Gloss, Papa stupor Mundi:3 The Pope is the wonderment of the World: that is to say, the Pope maketh all the world Fools.

Ecce in potestate nostra est, vt demus Imperium, cui volumus: What so euer the Emperoure hath, he hath it of vs. It is in our power to bestowe the Empiere vpon whom wee liste. This, M. Hardinge, is that Diuine Povver, that, as you saie, is geuen to the Pope. But as S. Iohn, S. Augustine, S. Chrysostome, and S. Gregorie saie, the selfe same Diuine Povver is geuē also to Antichriste. And therefore it is wel noted in your owne Glose, Papa stupor Mundi:
