But let us hear how Bonifacius proveth that he can be judged of no man. Because he that is spiritual (saith he) judgeth all things, but he himself is judged of no man. A godly and well applied argument I promise you. But let us see what kind of judgement Paul writeth of in that place. He speaketh not undoubtedly of the common kind of judgement, whereby men are either put to death or put out of their room. He entreateth there only of the understanding of things divine, and which avail unto salvation. These things I say properly ⟨image 268⟩belong unto the judgement of the spiritual man: but concerning common judgements, and knowledge of civill causes, Paul never thought of them in that place. Which is easily perceived by his words, we have not received (saith he) the sprite of this world: but a sprite, which is of God. If thou wilt demand for what use the sprite is given us: He answereth, that we should know those things that are given us of God. And because the sprite of this world cannot give judgement of things divine, it is added: The carnal man understandeth not those things which are of the sprite of god. The spiritual man judgeth all things. What? Doth he judge also civill and common causes? No undoubtedly: but he judgeth those things which pertain unto the salvation of men: he himself is judged of no man. Without doubt both Peter and Paul were judged by the civil power, whereunto Paul appealed to be judged there, and yet were they both spiritual.
But let vs heare howe Bonifacius proueth that he can be iudged of no man. Bycause he that is spiritual (sayth he) iudgeth all thinges, but he himselfe is iudged of no man. A godly and wel applied argument I promise you. But let vs se what kind of iudgement Paul writeth of in that place. He speaketh not vndoubtedly of the common kind of iudgement, whereby men are either put to death or put oute of theyr roome. He entreateth there onelye of the vnderstandinge of thinges deuine, and which auaile vnto saluation. These thinges I say properlye ⟨image 268⟩belong vnto the iudgement of the spiritual man: but concerning common iudgementes, and knowledge of ciuill causes, Paule neuer thoughte of them in that place. Which is easely perceaued by his wordes, we haue not receiued (saith he) the sprite of this world: but a sprite, which is of God. If thou wilt demaund for what vse ye sprite is geuen vs: He answereth, that we should know those things yt are geuen vs of God. And bycause ye sprite of this worlde cannot geue iudgemente of thinges deuine, it is added: The carnall man vnderstandeth not those things which ar of ye sprite of god. The spiritual man iudgeth al things. What? Doth he iudge also ciuill and common causes? No vndoubtedlye: but he iudgeth those thinges whiche pertayne vnto the saluation of men: he himselfe is iudged of no man. Without doubt both Peter and Paul were iudged by the ciuil power, wherunto Paul appealed to be iudged there, and yet were they both spirituall.
