Notwithstanding the Pope call him self the King of Kings, 1& the Lord of Lords: 2Notwithstanding he say, The Emperor is so far inferior unto him, as the Moon is inferior unto the Sun: Notwithstanding he say, The Emperor is but his Bailiff, his Steward, & his Man: Notwithstanding he say, He hath power to set up, & to put down Kings, and Emperors at his pleasure, Yet, saith M. Harding, all this may be spoken in right good sense: for the Pope useth a clean contrary Title, and calleth him self, Seruum Seruorum Dei, The Seruante of God's Servants. Thus he thinketh it sufficient, to weigh matters only by Title, and not by Truth.
Notwithstandinge the Pope cal him selfe the Kinge of Kinges, 1& the Lorde of Lordes: 2Notwithstāding he saie, The Emperour is so far inferiour vnto him, as the Moone is inferioure vnto the Sonne: Notwithstandinge he saie, The Emperoure is but his Bailife, his Stevvarde, & his Man: Notwithstandinge he saie, He hath power to set vp, & to put downe Kinges, and Emperours at his pleasure, Yet, saithe M. Hardinge, al this maie be spoken in right good sense: for the Pope vseth a cleane contrarie Title, and calleth him selfe, Seruum Seruorum Dei, The Seruante of Goddes Seruantes. Thus he thinketh it sufficient, to weighe matters onely by Title, and not by Truthe.
