Christs authority which he gave to 1his Disciples, was to preach the law and to bring sinners to repentance, and then to preach unto them the promises which the father had made unto all men for his sake. And the same to preach only sent he his Apostles. As 2a king sendeth forth his Judges, and giveth them his authority, saying: What ye do, that do I. I give you my full power. Yet meaneth he not by that full power, that they should destroy any town or City, or oppress any man or do what they list, or should reign over the Lords and Dukes of ⟨p. 151⟩his Realm and over his own self.

How be it by falsehood 3and subtlety the Pope reigneth under Christ, as Cardinals and Bishops do under kings lawless.
