The year of Christ 860. Pope Nicholas 1the first ruled the sea of Rome, a passing ambitious man instituting sundry things not appertaining to the government of the Church: but to confirmation and establishing of the popish ⟨p. 97⟩tyranny. First that no prince, no not the emperor himself, should be present in the councils of the Clergy. Also that no lay man should set in judgment over a clerk, or ecclesiastical person. Moreover that the Popes decrees and sentences, ought to be judged by no man: yea, that the Pope is subject unto no civil power, because he is God. Read Antoninus Titul. xvi. Paragra. 9. and likewise in the decrees, in the 76. and. 28▪ distinction.
