In deed, King Xerxes, the great King of Persia, when he had brought over his huge Army into Graecia, sent out his letters of defiance unto the great Mount Athos, 1that is in Macedonia, & commanded him to stand still, and not to st•rre a foot, nor to work any pispleasure, either to him self, or to his Army. Even by like Authority, and with as good discretion, the Pope hath used to send out his Precepts, & Princely Letters, and to command Angels, Archangels, & all the Powers of Heaven, to come, to go, to fetch, to carry, & to be ready to do his will. Therefore is he the better content, to hear his friends tell him thus, Tibi data est omnis potestas, 23supra omues potestates, tam Coeli, quàm terrae. Qui totum dicit, nihil excludit: To thee is given all manner of Power, above all Powers, as well of Heaven, as of Earth. He that saith, Al, excepteth nothing.
