Hunc unum super omnes gentes principem constituit, qui evellat, destruat &c. He hath appointed him only (Peter and his Successor the Bishop of Rome) Prince over all nations, to pluck up, and to destroy, to root out and throw down to build & plant. No doubt this commission is large. There can be no greater authority ⟨p. 70⟩given in matters of the world. But this authority hath no man.
