And therefore where all other creatures be under their judge, only I who in earth am the judge of all, can be judged of none, neither Emperor nor the whole Clergy, nor Kings, nor of the people. 109. For who hath power to judge upon ⟨p. 26⟩his judge? 110. This judge am I, and that alone, without any other assistance of any council joined to me, for I have power upon counsels, counsels have no power over me.
