13. Some Papists but not all from this expression gather, that the right of all temporal dominion was here given to Christ, and from hence would gather, that because the Pope is Christs Vicar, therefore he succeedeth him in this power, and so can dispose of all Kingdoms and Nations as he pleaseth. But the most learned of the Papists say, This power over all flesh is restrained to the matter in hand, viz. to gather and preserve his Church, and at last to save it, otherwise Christ would not have said to the man, who desired him to divide the Inheritance, Who made me a Judge? Luk. 12.14. For if men had not, yet if God had, he had a full call to exercise such a temporal jurisdiction, as Valentia the Jesuit well urgeth.
