For we teach, that Christ is the Lord, and remaineth the only universal shepherd, & chief high priest, before God his father, and that he in 1the church, doeth all the duties of an high bishop or shepherd, and so will continue unto the end of the world, and therefore needs no vicar, as one that were absent. Truly Christ is present with his Church, and is a living head, who straightly forbade his Apostles, and their successors, to ⟨p. 51⟩challenge the primacy, or supremacy in the church. Whosoever then gainsayeth this manifest truth; & bringeth into the church of Christ a contrary government, who seeth not, that they are to be counted among the number of those, whom Christs Apostles Prophesied of ij. Peter. ij. and Paul Act. xx. ij. Cor: xi. and. ij. Thes. ij.
