But the Pope, say you, humbly, for his own person, refuseth such honour, and hereby teacheth Kings, and Emperors, and all their Subjects to be humble. A strange case, to teach Humility in the School of Pride. Such Humility taught Julius Caesar, Diocletian, and Maximinus. Julius Caesar raught out his foot for Pompeius Poenus to kiss, that folks might see his Golden Slipper set with stones.1 Pomponius Laetus saith, Diocletianus edicto sanxit &c. Diocletian commanded by Proclamation, that all men should fall down, and kiss his Feet: whereunto also be added a certain reverence, adorning his shoes with Gold, 2and Diamonds. Maximinus also afterward did the like.

Such Humility shall Antichrist teach, advancing him self above all that is worshipped, or called God.
