Cornelius a Bishop in the last Council of Trident useth these words, 1Papa lux venit in mundum: sed dilexerunt homines magis tenebras, quàm lucem. The Pope being the light, is come into the world: but men loved the darkness, more then the light. And Stephanus the Archbishop of Patraca, in the Council of Lateran directeth these words unto the Pope, 2Tibi data est omnis potestas in Coelo, & in terra. Unto thee is all power given both in Heaven, and Earth. Likewise saith Pope Bonifacius, Spiritualis à nemine judicatur, The man, that is spiritual, is judged of no man: Ergo, no man may judge the Pope. And againe, Quae sunt potestates, à Deo ordinatae sunt: The powers that be, are ordained of God: Ergo, The Pope is above the Emperor. Now, to pass by other like places which are innumerable, whether this be wresting of the Scriptures, or no, I leave it to the discrete Reader to consider. 3Verily, as I have said before, Camotensis thus reporteth of them, Vim faciunt scripturis, ut habeant plenitudinem potestatis. 4To the intent they may have the fullness of power, they do violence to the Scriptures,5 and devise strange constructions contrary to the sense of the Church of God.6
Cornelius a Bishoppe in the laste Councel of Trident vseth these woordes, 1Papa lux venit in mundum: sed dilexerunt homines magis tenebras, quàm lucem. The Pope beinge the light, is come into the worlde: but menne loued the darkenes, more then the lighte. And Stephanus the Archebishop of Patraca, in the Councel of Laterane directeth these woordes vnto the Pope, 2Tibi data est omnis potestas in Coelo, & in terra. Vnto thee is al power geuen bothe in Heauen, and Earth. Likewise saithe Pope Bonifacius, Spiritualis à nemine iudicatur, The man, that is spiritual, is iudged of no man: Ergo, no man may iudge the Pope. And againe, Quae sunt potestates, à Deo ordinatae sunt: The powers that be, are ordeined of God: Ergo, The Pope is aboue the Emperour. Nowe, to passe by other like places whiche are innumerable, whether this be wreastinge of the Scriptures, or no, I leaue it to the discrete Reader to consider.
