So here we have the law of God to judge what is sin and what is not / and who is bound and who is not. More over if any man have sinned / yet if he repent and believe the promise / we are sure by gods word that he is loosed and forgiven in Christ Other authority then this wise to preach / have the priests not. Christs Apostles had no nother them selves as it appeareth throughout all the new testament. Therefore it is manifest that they have not.
So here we have the law of God to iudge what is synne and what is not / and who is bounde and who is not. Moare over if any man have synned / yet if he repente and beleve the promise / we are sure by gods worde that he is loosed and forgeven in Christ Other auctoryte then this wise to preach / have the prestes not. Christis Apostles had no nother thē selfes as it appereth thorowout all the new testamente. Therfore it is manyfest that they have not.
Saint Paul saith .j. Corinth. xv.1 When we say all things are under Christ / he is to ⟨image 103⟩be excepted that putt all under him. God the father is not under Christ / but above Christ and Christs heed .j. Corinth. vi. Christ saith John. xij. I have not spoken of mine own heed but my father which sent me / gave a commandment what I should say / and what I should speak. What so ever I speak therefore / even as my father bade me so I speak. If Christ had a law what he should do / how happeneth it / that the Pope so runneth at large lawless? Though that all power were given unto Christ in heaven and in earth. Yet had he no power over his father nor yet to reign temporally over temporal princes: but a commandment to obey them. How hath the Pope then such temporal authority over king and Emperor? How hath he authority above Gods laws and to command the angels / the saints and God him self?
