An other of your Doctors saith thus, Dicunt, quòd solus Papa est verus Dominus temporalium, ita quòd potest auferre ab alio, quòd aliâs suum est. Sed praelati caeteri, & Principes, non sunt Domini, sed Tutores, Procuratores & Dispensators: They say, that the Pope only is the very Lord of Temporal things so that he may take from any man, that is his own. As for other Prelates, and Princes, they be the overseers, and farmers, and stewards of worldly things, but not the Lords. And Matthias Parisiensis saith, that Pope Innocentius 3 called King John the King of England, Vasallum suum, That is to say, his feed man, or his Tenant: meaning thereby, that the Realm of England was the Popes, and not the Kings. If all this be true, how can the Kings of England, in granting any thing to the Pope, be counted liberal?1 Verily it is an easy kind of liberality for a man to give that thing, that is not his own.

If al this be true, how can the Kings of England, in graunting any thing to the Pope, be counted liberal?1 Verily it is an easy kind of liberalitie for a man to geue that thing, that is not his owne.
