Sutche Humilitie y• Diuel tooke vpon him to teache, when he saide to Christe, I wil geue thee al these thinges, 1if thou wilte fal downe, and woorship me.
- 1Matthae. 4.
Thus may the Pope call him self Lord of Lords: King of Kings: and set his foot on Emperors necks: and yet nevertheless, if he can frame a new title, and say, He is Seruus Seruorum Dei, The Seruante of God's Servants, it is no Pride: it is but Humility.

Antoninus saith, 1Non minor honour debetur Papae, quàm Angelis. Unde Papa recipit à Fidelibus Adorationes, Prostrations, & Oscula pedum: quod non permisit Angelus à Johanne Evangelista sibi fieri: There is no less honour dew unto the Pope, then unto the Angels of God. Therefore the Pope suffereth the Faithful to Worship him, to fall down before him, and to kiss his Feet: which things the Angel of God would not suffer S. John the Evangelist to do unto him.
