1At the length our Thraso cometh so far, that he excludeth them from the hope of salvation, which acknowledge not the Pope for the chief prince & head of the church. But when there were two or three Popes all at one time (which thing both happened, and also endured the space of .60. years full) it must needs be that those were at that time Manichees, and did put two beginnings, which were of Bonifacius opinion. Moreover, what think they of the Grecians, of the Persians, and Christians which dwell in the East part, for as much as they acknowledge not the Pope, who yet nevertheless read the scriptures, believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, and both are, & also are called christians? Al them Bonifacius excludeth from the hope of salvation. This is the ambition and unspeakable tyranny of the Popes.

When we object unto the papists these words of Paul: let every soul be subject unto the superior powers, they answer: that every soul ought to be subject unto the superior power, but yet to theirs, not to other mens power, otherwise the frenchmen ought to be subject unto the Spaniards, the Spaniards to the Germans, which thing, for that it is absurd, it is concluded, that every man ought to obey his own Magistrate. But now the clergy acknowledge the bishops for their power, and ought to be subject unto them: and the bishops acknowledge the Archbishops and Primates, and they lastly acknowledge the Pope. After this manner say they, we obey the power, and satisfy Paul. What have we to do with kings or civil magistrates? But this is nothing else, then most filthily to abuse the words of Paul.
