For thus your own Pope Nicolas telleth you stoutly in his own behalfe, Christus Petro, 1Aeternae vitae Clavigero, Terreni simul, & Coelestis Imperij jura con misit: Christ hath committed unto Peter, the Keiebearer of Everlasting Life, the right, as well of the Earthly, as of the Heavenly Empire. Thus by your Doctrine, Priesthood, Kingdom, Popedom, Empire, are all conveyed wholly into one mans hands: and so, by your handling, one man is Priest, King, Pope, and Emperor, all at once. This perhaps unto the wise, may seem to be some Confusion of Offices.

Touching that ye write of the rash attempt of King Uzziah, ye seem not to understand, neither out words, nor your own. For we teach not Princes, to Offer up Incense in Sacrifice,1 as Uzziah did: or by intrusion to thrust them selves into Bishops rooms: or to Preach, or to Minister Sacraments, or to Bind, or to Loose: But only to discharge their own Offices, and to do that duty, that David, Solomon, Hezekiah, Josiah, and other Noble, and godly Kings did, and evermore was lawful for the Prince to do. As for Right of Place, and Voice in Council, it pertaineth no less to the Prince, then to the Pope: as hereafter it shall better appear.
