And so I graunt that the Pope beyng dead can loose no man. Also it may be referred to him that is losed, so þ^t who soeuer is loosed must be vpon þ^e earth or about þ^e earth. And so the soules in Purgatory may be losed, which albeit they are not vpon þ^e earth, yet they are about þ^e earth, at least they be not in heauen.

Waldemus confeßionate. & De Sacramentis.And to the intent I would all men to see and vnderstand that I lacke not witnesses moe besides these, if I list to bryng them out, you shall heare the whole queare of my diuine Clergy brought out, with a full voyce testifiyng in my behalfe, in their bookes, tractations, Distinctions, Titles, Gloses, and Summaries, as by theyr own wordes here foloweth. The Pope (say they) beyng the vicare of Iesu Christ thorow out the whole world, in the stead of the liuyng God, hath that dominion & Lordshyp which Christ here in earth would not haue, althogh he had it in habitu, but gaue it to Peter in Actu: that is, the vniuersall iurisdiction both of spirituall thinges & also of temporall, which double iurisdictiō was signified by the ij. swordes in the Gospell: And also by offeryng of the wise mē, who offered not only incense, but also gold, to signifie not onely the spirituall dominion, but also the temporall to belong to Christ and to his vicare. For as we read: the earth is the Lordes and the fulnes therof, & as Christ sayth, all power is giuen to him both in heauē and earth. So it is to be affirmed Inclusiue, that the vicar of Christ hath power on things celestiall, terrestriall, and infernall. Which he tooke immediatly of Christ: all other take in mediatly by Peter & the Pope. Wherfore such as say þ^t the Pope hath dominion only on spirituall things in the world and not of temporall, may be likened to the counsellers of the kyng of Syria. 3. Reg. 20.  

Which sayd: The Gods of the mountaines be theyr Gods, and therfore they haue ouercome vs, but let vs fight agaynst thē in the low medowes & in valleys, where they haue no power, and so we shall preuaile ouer them. So euill coūsellers now a dayes, through their pestiferous flattery deceaue Kyngs and Princes of the earth, saying: Popes and Prelates be Gods of moūtaines, that is, of spiritual thinges onely, but they be not Gods of valleys, that is, they haue no dominion ouer tēporall thinges, and therfore let vs fight with thē in the valleys, that is, in the power of temporall possessions, and so we shall preuaile ouer them. But what sayth the sentence of God to them, let vs heare. Because (sayth he) the Syrians say, that the God of mountaines is their God, and not the God of valleys, therfore I wil giue all this multitude into your hand, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.   What can be more effectually spoken to set forth the maiestie of my iurisdiction, which I receaued immediatly of the Lord, of the Lord I say, and of no man. For where as Constantine the Emperour gaue to Siluester, induyng hym with this possession and patrimonie, that is, so to be expoūded and taken not so much for a donation, as to be counted for a restitution made of that, which tyrannously was taken from him before. And agayne, where as I haue giuē at sondry times to Ludouicus and other Emperours, of my temporal landes & possessions, yet that was done, not so much for any recognising of homage to them, as for kepyng peace with them. For I owe to Emperours no due obedience that they can clayme, but they owe to me as to their superiour. And therfore for a diuersitie betwixt their degree & mine, in their consecration they take their vnction on the arme, I on the head. And as I am superiour to them, so am I superiour to all lawes, & free from all constitutions. Which am able of my selfe, and by my interpretation, to preferre equitie being not written, before the law written: hauyng all lawes within the chiest of my brest, as is aforesayd. And what soeuer this my sea shall inact, approue, or disproue, all men ought to approue or reproue the same, without either iudging, disputyng, doubtyng, or retractyng. Such is the priuilege giuē of Christ in þ^e behalf of Peter, to þ^e Church of Rome. Marginalia186.

So that succession of faith onely is not sufficiēt to make a Church, except the Ministers take their ordinatiō by them which haue their succession from the Apostles. So their faith, supremacy, the chaire of Peter, keyes of heauen, power to bind and loose, all these be
