In like authority spake Elijah to Ahab, I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy Fathers house in that you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim. In like authority spake John the Baptist unto Herod. 1It is not lawful for thee to have thy brothers wife. And the like authority did God give unto Moses. Behold I have made thee Pharaoh's God. 2Thou shalt speak all that I command thee. And thou shalt say unto him, the Lord God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee. As Moses was set over Pharaoh King of Egypt, and Elijah over Ahab king of Israel, and John over King Herod, so was this Prophet set over the nations: not to remove or pull them down, but to rebuke their errors, and to direct their lives: to plant the trueth, to overthrow the vanity of men, and to build the fear of the Lord. In all ⟨p. 77⟩this we find nothing for the Popes purpose.
In like auctoritie spake Elias to Achab, I haue not troubled Israel, but thou and thy Fathers house in that you haue forsaken the commaundements of the Lorde, and thou hast followed Baalim. In like auctoritie spake Iohn the Baptist vnto Herode. 1It is not lawfull for thee to haue thy brothers wife. And the like auctoritie did God giue vnto Moses. Behold I haue made thee Pharaos God. 2Thou shalt speake all that I commaunde thee. And thou shalt say vnto him, the Lorde God of the Hebrewes hath sent me vnto thee. As Moses was sette ouer Pharao King of Aegypt, and Elias ouer Achab king of Israel, and Iohn ouer King Herode, so was this Prophet set ouer the nations: not to remoue or pull them downe, but to rebuke their errors, and to direct their liues: to plante the trueth, to ouerthrowe the vanitie of men, and to builde the feare of the Lorde. In all ⟨p. 77⟩this wée finde nothing for the Popes purpose.
