Faithfully abstracted out of the Book of martyrs, and divers other books.

12 It is not possible, by the absolute power of God, that the Pope, or any Christian, can bind or loose at their pleasure, by what means so•uer, yet may they exact temporal things by Ecclesiastical Censures incidentally, if case be that it appertain to the revengement of their God.
