Here me thinketh I see the secrete motions of your heart. You look that I should name the Bishop of Rome: that it is he which hath suffered himself to be called by the name of GOD. I will not tell you in mine own words. Unless the Bishop himself so speak, I will not tell you. Mark then, and witness of my indifferency, whilst I speak hereof, that I follow not affection, but deal uprightly. Therefore, I say again, unless the Bishop himself, suffer himself to be called by the name of GOD, I will not so say of him. Then let us see what he hath written of himself, and what he hath suffered others to write. Pope Nicholas saith, Constat summum pontificem à pio principe 1Constantino Deum appellari. It is well known, ⟨p. 294⟩that the Pope, of the godly Prince Constantine was called God. And therefore Pope Pius in his Bull sayeth, Nemo audeat 2obedire. No man dare obey her, or her will, or commandments, or laws upon pain of our curse.

Marke then, and witnesse of my indifferencie, whilest I speake hereof, that I followe not affection, but deale vprightly. Therefore, I say againe, vnlesse the Bishop himselfe, suffer himselfe to be called by the name of GOD, I will not so saie of him.
