And during this unhappy time, while the frantic Princes slew one another with mutual wounds, there sprung up in the middest of this contention, that base and despised little Horne that Daniel speaketh of, namely a parish Priest of Room, who a little before this time through most wicked devises & practises, began to be in authority: which ⟨image 18⟩helped him exceedingly to the attainment of the Empire. For now he was accounted almost of all men in the west parts for the universal pastor, as Bishop of that place, which (after long contention had, first with the Churches of Africa, and afterward of Constantinople) Phocas the Emperor, altogether an infamous and unfortunate Prince, commanded to be chiefest and head of all Churches in the world.
And during this vnhappy time, while the frantick Prinres slewe one another with mutuall wounds, there sprung vp in the middest of this contention, that base and despised litle Horne that Daniel speaketh of, namely a parish Préest of Roome, who a litle before this time through moste wicked deuises & practises, began to be in authoritie: which ⟨image 18⟩helped him exceedingly to ye attainment of the Empire. For now he was accounted almoste of all men in the west parts for the vniuersall pastor, as Bishop of that place, which (after long contention had, first with the Churches of Africa, and afterwarde of Constantinople) Phocas the Emperour, altogither an infamous and vnfortunate Prince, commaunded to be chéefest and head of all Churches in the world.
Therefore now the Popes judgements and decrees were of great authority among princes, as of a man altogether Apostolic: who nevertheless hitherto was equal with other Bishops, and had no princely superiority, and therefore, was a base and despised little horn.
Therfore now the Popes iudgements and decrées were of great authoritie among princes, as of a man altogither Apostolike: who neuerthelesse hitherto was equall with other Bishops, and had no princely superioritie, and therfore, was a base and despised litle horne.
