The apology of the Church of England, and an epistle to one Seignior Scipio…

That he consecrated Oil, Wax, Wool, Bells, Calices, Temples and Altars with his sacred Breath: that he sold Jubilees, Graces, Immunities, Expectancies, Preventions, first Fruits, Palls, the use of Palls, Bulls, Indulgences and Pardons▪ that he called himself the Head of the Church ⟨p. 135⟩the High Priest, the Bishop of Bishops, and the only most Holy; that he usurped Authority over other Churches; that he exempted himself from all Civil Power; that he made Wars, set Discord amongst Princes; that he was carried upon the Shoulders of Noble men in a gilded Chair, with a Crown full of Labels or Tassels, with a Persian Gallantry; adorned with a royal Sceptre and a golden Diadem glittering with Jewels. Did St. Peter heretofore do all these things at Rome, and as it were from hand to hand deliver them down to his Successors? for all these fine things are now done at Rome, and that in such manner, as if nothing else ought to be done.
