The suruey of popery vvherein the reader may cleerely behold, not onely the originall and daily incrementes of papistrie, with an euident confutation of the same; but also a succinct and profitable enarration of the state of Gods Church from Adam vntill Christs ascension, contained in the first and second part thereof: and throughout the third part poperie is turned vp-side downe.

The second obseruation.

We must obserue secondly, that albeit a monarche haue the chiefest soueraigntie on earth, yet is he not the sole and vniuer∣sall gouernour, so as there is no other king ouer anie other nati∣on. For though the highest and supreme power, authoritie, and dominion be in euerie monarchie, so as no other power, no not independent, is able to ouerrule or preuaile against the same; yet were there euer powers independent ouer and besides the said monarchies, not subiect to the iurisdiction thereof. In the time of the monarchie of the Babylonians or Assyrians,

worthie kings (though of lesse might and authoritie) raigned in Egypt, in Israel, in Greece, and else where. In the time of the Persian monarchie, the Macedonians and the Romaines had their authoritie; so likewise when the Greekes and Romaines hadde the monarchicall and imperiall seate with them, other kings had their seueral dominions, albeit very small in respect.
