Let none of the papists cry that it is no strong argument: because it is none of ours, but Gregory's their father: let them cry out against him, who afterward addeth: That he which maketh himself universal bishop, taketh away from other bishops their office, for where any man is universal bishop, he leaveth no office of a bishop unto others. This also is the collection of Gregory, and not found out by us. And undoubtedly if a man at this day look rightly and more nighly up on the thing, he shall see that the bishops of the west do govern their churches only by the order given them by the bishop of Rome.1 Gregory afterward addeth that John preferreth himself above the Emperor: which thing Gregory counted for an absurdity. But our men now a days think it necessary that Cesar should be subject to him: yea they have often times resisted emperors, many times wearied them, and sometimes moved them out of their place. And yet Gregory their father detesteth and inveigheth against it, as a thing unjust and not to be suffered. And writing unto Augusta he is yet more vehement, saying that the same belongeth unto Antichrist. Wherefore let not our men marvel, if we sometime call the bishop of Rome Antichrist, forasmuch as their Gregory, calleth him by the most goodly title, which will be universal bishop.
Let none of the papistes cry that it is no strong argument: bicause it is none of ours, but Gregories their father: let them cry out against him, who afterward addeth: That he which maketh himselfe vniuersall bishop, taketh away from other bishops their office, for where anye man is vniuersall byshop, he leaueth no office of a bishop vnto others. This also is the collectiō of Gregory, and not foūd out by vs. And vndoubtedly if a man at this day loke rightly and more nighly vp on the thing, he shal see that the bishops of the west doe gouerne theyr churches onely by the ordre geuen them by the bishop of Rome.1 Gregory afterwarde addeth that Iohn preferreth himselfe aboue the Emperor: which thing Gregory coū ted for an absurdity. But oure men now a dayes thinke it necessarye that Cesar should be subiect to him: yea they haue oftē times resisted emperors, many times wearied them, and sometimes moued them out of theyr place. And yet Gregory theyr father detesteth and inueigheth agaynst it, as a thinge vniust and not to be suffred. And writing vnto Augusta he is yet more vehemēt, saying that the same belongeth vnto Antechrist. Wherfore let not our mē meruayle, if we sometime cal the bishop of Rome Antechrist, for asmuch as their Gregory, calleth him by ye most goodly title, which wilbe vniuersal bishop.
