They allege for them selves the saying of Christ to Peter Math. xvj. Whatsoever thou bindest on earth, it shall be bound, & what soever thou looseth, and so forth. Lo say they, what soever ⟨p. 150⟩we bind & what soever we loose here is nothing excepted. And an other text lay they of Christ in the last of Matthew. All power is given to me saith Christ, in heaven and in earth: go therefore and preach &c. Preaching leaveth 1the Pope out, and saith lo all power is given me in heaven & in earth. And thereupon taketh upon him temporal power above king and Emperor, & maketh laws and bindeth them. And like power taketh he over gods laws and dispenseth with them at his lust, making no sin of that which God maketh sin, & maketh sin where God maketh none: yea & wipeth out Gods laws clean and maketh at his pleasure, & with him is lawful what he lusteth. He bindeth where God looseth & looseth where God bindeth. He blesseth where GOD curseth and curseth where God blesseth. He taketh authority also to bind & loose in Purgatory.2 That permit I unto him: for it is a creature of his own making. He also bindeth the angels. For we read of Popes that have commanded the angels to fetch divers out of Purgatory. 3Howbeit I am not yet certified whether they obeyed or no.

All power is geuen to me sayth Christ, in heauen and in earth: go therfore and preach &c. Preachyng leaueth 1the Pope out, and sayth loe all power is geuen me in heauen & in earth. And thereupon taketh vpon him temporall power aboue kyng and Emperour, & maketh lawes and byndeth them. And like power taketh he ouer gods lawes and dispenseth with them at his lust, makyng no sinne of that whiche God maketh sinne, & maketh sinne where God maketh none: yea & wypeth out Gods lawes cleane and maketh at his pleasure, & with him is lawful what he lusteth. He bindeth where God looseth & looseth where God bindeth. He blesseth where GOD curseth and curseth where God blesseth. He taketh authoritie also to bynde & loose in Purgatory.
