Commentary on the Woodcuts
CUL copy: a significant amount of additional detail is provided by the painter in this illustration, although, again, no additional detail is provided over the top of the colour red when used. WREN copy: another pale image, although there is a good attempt made to provide detail to the clothing depicted, particularly the fur collars. There is, however, too much detail provided in black ink.

Commentary
158. Wherfore as I cōdēne all such worthely, which will not obey my decrees, to be disposessed of all their honor, without restitution:
Marginalia159. Pope Nicolaus. Dist. 22 cap. Omnes. 159. So all they þ
t beleue not my doctrine or stand against þ
e priuiledge of þ
e church especially of þ
e church of Rome, I pronounce thē heretikes.
Marginalia160. Ibidem. 160. And as þ
e other before is to be called vniust, so this mā is to be called an heretike.
Marginalia161. Ibidem. 161. For why, he goeth against þ
e fayth which goeth against her who is þ
e mother of faith.
Marginalia162. Dist. 20. Decretales. 162. But here may rise percase a dout or scruple, þ
t if my fayth & knowledge stand so sure by þ
e promise of Christ, & by the continual prayer of s. Paul: whether is it true, or is to be graunted, þ
t any other should excel me in knowledge or interpretatiō of holy scripture.
Marginalia163. Ibidem. 163. For loke whose knowledge is grounded of most reason, his words should seme to be of more authority.
Marginalia164. Ibidem. 164. Wherunto I answer & graunt, that many there be and haue bene more aboundantly indued with fuller grace of the holy Ghost, and greater excellencie of knowledge, and therfore that the tractations of Augustine, Hierome and others ought to be preferred before þ
e constitutions of diuers popes: yet I say in determination of causes, because they haue not the vertue and height of that authoritie which is giuen to me, therfore in expounding of Scriptures they are to be preferred, but in deciding of matters they stand inferiour to my authoritie. By vertue of whiche authoritie.
Marginalia165. Dist. 19 si Rousanorum. 165. both they themselues be allowed for doctours, and their workes approued, & also all other matters be ruled, through the power of the keyes which is giuen to me immediatly of Christ. Although I deny not but the same keyes be also committed to other prelates, as they were to other Apostles besides Peter:
Marginalia166. Gariell Biel. lib. 4. Dist. 19. 166. yet it is one thyng to haue þ
e keyes, an other thing to haue the vse of the keyes.
Marginalia167. Petrus de Palude. 167. Wherfore here is to bee noted a distinctiō of keyes, after the minde of my scholedoctors: one key which is called
Clauis ordinis, hauyng anthoritie to bind and lose, but not ouer the persons whom they binde & lose, and this authoritie they take not immediatly of Christ, but mediatly by me the vicare of Christ. The other key is called
Clauis iurisdictonis, which I þ
e vicar of Christ take immediatly of him, hauyng not onely authoritie to bind and lose, but also dominiō ouer thē on whō this key is exercised. By þ
e iurisdiction of which key, þ
e fulnes of my power is so great, þ
t where as al other are subiects.
Marginalia168. Dist. 96. cap. Imperator. 168. yea & Emperours thē selues ought to subdue their executions to me. Onely I am a subiect to no creature.
Marginalia169. Gabriel. lib. 4. Dist. 19. 169. no not to my selfe, except I list, In
foro pœnitentiæ, to my Ghostly father submitting my selfe as a sinner, but not as pope: So that my Papall maiestie euer remaineth vnminished. Superiour to all men.
