Rainoldes. Now are you come to that, which I had an eye too, when I desired you (in cthe beginning of our conference) to tell me what power you gave unto the Pope by calling him supreme head. For, in this grass there lurketh a snake. Which that you may see, and (if it be the gracious will of God) avoid, least that you perish through his venom: I will ask you a question. When you say, dthe Pope is *chief and supreme ⟨p. 152⟩head of ecclesiastical judgement, and President of Councils: do you mean that the Pope in assemblies of Bishops, is, as the Speaker (with us) in the Parliament, to propose matters to them, and ask their judgements, and gather their voices, that things may be orderly handled and enacted by common consent?
