But David saith, Now, ye Kings, have understanding: Be learned, ye, that judge the Earth. 1Good Kings have oftentimes reformed Religion, and have lawfully controlled, and corrected, and deposed idle, and wicked Bishops: as before, in place convenient,2 it is largely proved. The Emperor Justinian threateneth, if the Bishop offended in saying the public service, or in the Ministration of the Sacraments, that then he him self would use his Authority over him, and see him punished. Franciscus Zarabella saith, that for any crime notorious, the Emperor may summon the Pope, to appear before his Majesty, and may require him, to yield a reckoning of his Faith. And yet will ye say, The Emperor is still the Popes man, 3and may judge nothing in Causes of Religion without him?
