Christ forbiddeth his disciples and 1that oft (as thou mayst see Math. xviij. And also xx. Mark. ix. and also x. Luk. ix. and also xxij. Even at his last supper) not only to clime above Lords. kings, and Emperors in worldly rule, but also to exalt themselves one above an other in the kingdom of God. But in vain: for the Pope would not hear it though he had commanded it ten thousand times. Gods word should rule only and not Bishops 2decrees, or the Popes pleasure. That ought they to preach purely and spiritually, and to fashion their lives after, & with all ensample of godly living & long suffering, to draw all to Christ: and not to expound the Scriptures carnally and worldly, saying: God spake this to Peter and I am his successor, therefore this authority is mine only: and then bring in the tyranny of their fleshly wisdom, in praesentia maioris, cessat potestas minoris, that is, in the presence of the greater, y• less hath no power. There is no brotherhood where such philosophy is taught.
