CHAP. IX.
The principal scope and drift of this Chapter, is to paint out both the Pope and his Clergy, and also the Kingdom of the Turk, and his cruel Armies. For having already set down how a way and passage was made for the Pope to climb up into his cursed Chair, by the prevailing of heresies, the falling away of the Pastors of the Church, and the great over-spreading of darkness and ignorance: now he cometh to describe the Pope in his full height and greatest exaltation, being now universal Bishop, and in full possession of his Seat and Sea of Rome, which was about some six hundred ⟨p. 131⟩years after CHRIST, as formerly hath been showed. At wat time Pope Boniface obtained of the Emperor Phocas, that murderer, which slew his Master Mauritius the Emperor, that the Bishop of Rome should be called the Universal bishop, and the Church of Rome, the Head of all Churches.
