Ye are not fallen from the Bishop of Rome only, which were a damnable schism, but ye are fallen from Christs Church. Your comparison of the Pope with king Nahas is not very agreeable. But sirs, ye speak more maliciously, then credibly. Be ye good Christen men, and conform your selves to the Catholic Faith, (and deny Christ, and his Gospel: For, this also ye should have added) and I warrant you, the Pope will not pluck from you, neither the Scriptures, nor your confidence in Christ Jesus, no more then he doth from us.
