In that Christ being most pure, holy, and holiness it self; the popes, although in truth most filthy, and abominable in blaspheming, conjuring, murdering, whoring, and that incestuously, and Sodomitically, yet will they in titles be called holy; yea as Christ, holiness it self.

How in office?
First, in his kingdom: Christs kingdom is without all outward show or pomp; but the Popes kingdom consisteth wholly in pomp and shows, as imitating his predecessors, the emperors of Rome, in his proud, stately, and lordly offices, Princely trains, and outrageous expenses in every sort.
First, in his kingdome: Christs kingdome is without all outward shew or pompe; but the Popes kingdome consisteth wholly in pompe and shewes, as imitating his predecessors, the emperors of Rome, in his proud, stately, and lordly offices, Princelie traines, and outragious expences in euery sort.
