If you say, this is no plain proof, but forced, and wrested, because he nameth not a Bishop, but a king of pride: hear him again, Fidenter dico, quòd quisquis see universalem sacerdotem 1vocat, vel vocari de siderat, in elation sua Antichristum praecurrit. I speak it boldly, whosoever either calleth himself the universal priest, or desireth so to be called (as doeth the Pope) in the pride of his hart, he is the forerunner of Antichrist. In this place, he doeth not only tell us, Antichrist shall be a Bishop, but also what manner of Bishop. He shall be a Bishop, & that Bishop, which shall claim universal authority. Such a Bishop as shall say, ⟨p. 322⟩It is of the necessity of salvation, that every soul be subject to me. Which shall say, it is plain, that the church is one, because in the universal church, there is one supreme head, that is, the Pope.
If you saye, this is no plaine proofe, but forced, and wrested, because he nameth not a Bishop, but a king of pride: heare him againe, Fidenter dico, quòd quisquis se vniuersalem sacerdotem 1vocat, vel vocari de siderat, in elatione sua Antichristum praecurrit. I speake it boldlie, whosoeuer either calleth himselfe the vniuersal priest, or desireth so to be called (as doeth the Pope) in the pride of his hart, he is the forerunner of Antichrist. In this place, he doeth not only tel vs, Antichrist shal be a Bishoppe, but also what maner of Bishoppe. He shal be a Bishop, & that Bishop, which shal claime vniuersal authoritie. Such a Bishop as shal say, ⟨p. 322⟩It is of the necessitie of saluation, that euerie soule be subiect to mee. Which shal say, it is plaine, that the church is one, because in the vniuersal church, there is one supreme heade, that is, the Pope.
