Allegatio Imperatoris contra papam. Caesar lex viva stat regibus imperativa, Legeq sub viva sunt omnia jura dativa, Lex ea castigat, soluit & ipsa ligat. Conditor est legis neque debet lege teneri, Sed sibi complacuit sub lege libenter hab••• Quicquid ei placuit juris adinstar erit. Qui ligar ac soluit deus ipsum protulit orbi, Divisit regnum divina potentia secum, Astra dedit superis, caetera cuncta sibi. ¶Responsio Romanae curiae contra Imperatorem. Pars quoque papalis sic obviate Imperiali, Sic dans regnare, quòd Petro subijciaris, Jus etenim nobis Christus utrumque parit. Spiritus & corpus mihi sunt subiecta potenter, Corpore terrena teneo caelestia meant Unde tenendo polum, soluo ligóque solùm. Aethers pander, coelica tongere, papa videtur. Nam dare, tollere, nectere, solver cuncta meretur, Cui dedit omne decus lex nova, léxque vetus. Annulus & baculus quamuis terrena putentur, Sunt de jure poli, quae significare videntur. Respice jura dei, mens tua cedat ei. &c.
