Al Christian Princes are much beholden to you, M. Harding: ye make them so like to Polyphemus y• Giant. after his eyes were stricken out: that is to say, to a man mighty in body, and great in bones: but stark blind, and no way able to guide him self. A King, ye say, may not take upon him, to Judge, or Pronounce in matters of Religion, be they never so clear: but only must hearken, & be ready to execute, what so ever shall be thought good, and commanded by your Bishops: as if he were only your Bishops man. So saith your Holy Father Pope Bonifacius. 8. Gladius Materialis exercendus est manu Regum, 1& Militum: Sed ad nutum, & patientram Sacerdotis: The Material, or Temporal Sword must be used by the hand of ⟨p. 648⟩Kings,2 and Soldiers: but at the beck, and sufferance of the Priest: By which Priest he meaneth the Pope.
