Ye have Excommunicate us,1 and put us from you. So did certain of your Predecessors, and Fathers, Excommunicate Christ, and his Apostles. So did Diotrephes, that first claimed your Papal Primacy, Excommunicate the Faithful of Christ, that were the First Planters of the Gospel. So it is written in the Apocalypse, that Antichrist shall Excommunicate all them, that will not Adore the Image of the Beast.
