Amongst others his unadvised, 1and vain Words, thus he saith: Christus Beato Petro, Vitae Aeternae Clavigero, Terreni simul & Coelestis Imperij jura commisit: Christ hath committed unto Peter, the keiebearer of Everlasting Life, the right both of the Worldly, and also of the Heavenly Empire: That is to say, The Pope is Emperor both of Heaven, 2& of Earth. And therefore Pope Bonifacius 8. as it is said before, in the sight of the world, ware the Crown Imperial on his head, & commanded the naked sword to be borne before him: & Proclamation to be made, Ecce duo Gladij hic: Behold here are the two Swords. I mean the same Pope Bonifacius, of whom it is written, 3He entered as a Fox: He reigned as a Wolf: he died as a Dog. Hereof it is written in concilio Vangionum, Utrunque, & Imperium, & Pontificatum,4 sicuti Decij, & Falsorum Deorum Cultores factitare consueverunt, usurpat: The Pope wrong fully usurpeth both together, as well the Worldly Empire, as the Bishopric, as Decius, and the worshippers of False Gods were wont to do.
