1. That the Roman Church was founded only by our Lord. 2. That only the Bishop of Rome is rightly called Universal. 3. That only the Pope can depose Bishops and reconcile them. 4. That his Legates must preside in Councils, though they be of inferior degree, before all Bishops; and may pass on them the sentence of deposition. 5. That the Pope may depose those that are absent. 6. That with those that are excommunicated by him, among other things, we may not dwell in the same house. 7. That to him only it is lawful to make new Laws for the necessity of the time; and to congregate new people; of Canonical to make an Abbaty; and contrarily to divide a rich Bishopric, and unite poor ones. 8. That only he may use Imperial Ensigns or Escutcheons. 9. That all Princes must kiss the feet of the Pope only. 10. That only his name may be recited in the Churches. 11. That it is the one only name in the World. 12. That it is lawful for him to depose Emperors. 13. That it is lawful for him in case of necessity to remove Bishops from seat to seat. 14. That he may ordain a Clerk from any Church whither he will. 15. That one ordained by him may govern another Church; and must not take a superior degree from another Bishop. ⟨p. 357⟩16. That no Synod without his command may be called Universal. 17. That no Chapter, nor no Book may be accounted Canonical without his authority. 18. That his sentence may be retracted by none: and he alone may retract all mens. 19. That he ought to be judged of no man. 20. That no man must dare to condemn any one that appealeth to the Apostolic Seat. 21. That the Greater causes of all Churches must be referred to him. 22. That the Roman Church never erred, nor, as the Scripture witnesseth, will ever▪ err. 23. That the Bishop of Rome, if he be Canonically ordained, is undoubtedly made Holy by the merits of St. Peter, as St. Ennodius Bishop of Papia witnesseth, and many holy Fathers confess, as is contained in the Decrees of Pope Symmachus. 24. That it is lawful for subjects to accuse by his Command and licence. 25. That he may depose and reconcile Bishops without Synodal meetings. 26. That he is not to be accounted a Catholic who agreeth not with the Roman Church. 27. That he may absolve the Subjects of unjust men from fidelity.
