Hart. They revolted from Rehoboam. But he had right to be their king, as being heir of Solomon.

Rainoldes. But what is that to my reason? For points in a similitude are bound to hold no further, then that, wherein they are resembled. Else you might add too, that the Pope is liker to Jeroboam then to Rehoboam, because of his mgolden gods: and therefore should be king rather of all Christendom, then of the province of Rome only. But if your cavil please you against that reason: hear an other. The Apostles of Christ had charge of all nations. All Bishops are successors of the Apostles. Therefore all Bishops have charge of all nations. Will you reply now that men revolt from Bishops: but they have right to be Popes, as being heirs of the Apostles?
