Into what case doth he lead miserable simple men, that give him some credit? Howe doth he amaze them? God telleth us we receive to our selves judgment, if we resist his ordinance. Pius saith, we are accursed unless we do resist it. What shall a simple man do? Which way shall he follow? If he obey God, he must forsake Pope: Or, if he obey the Pope, he must forsake God. If he obey the Prince as God willeth him, ⟨p. 101⟩then the Pope curseth him: Or, if he disobey the Prince, as the Pope willeth him, then doth God condemn him. The commandment of the one is as contrary to the commandment of the other, as light is contrary unto darkness. But thanks be to God who hath filled us with the knowledge of his will. We know Pope Pius is no God. We pray for him that he may be the servant of God,

Paul hath warned us,1 if an Angel from heaven, or if any man preach unto you otherwise than that you have received, let him be accursed. We have received of Paul, and of Peter, and of God him self, that we should obey: yet dareth Pope Pius no Angel, but a man, command us that no man obey, no not under pain of his curse Accursed is he for so commanding, we have good warrant to say he is accursed.
