Cum non ex∣tarent qui eorum vitia coercerent, bicause there was none to correcte and chasten them for their euill doinges. For so long as the Princes exercised their (351)* 1.1 authoritie in ouerseing carefully the Church matters, and the mynisters, so vvel the Popes, as other Bishoppes, there grevve no such intollerable disorders, neither vvere there suche mōsters (for so Nau∣clerus, termeth these Popes) that continued any space: But vvere by the Princes authoritie suppressed, and therfore Nauclerus citeth out of Pla∣tina, and affirmeth it to be true, that the cause of these monstrous Rebelles in the Churche vvas: Quòd Resp. ignauos & desides principes ha∣beat. Bicause the common wealthe had improfitable and slouthfull Princes. Thus these vvriters burdeine and charge the Princes vvith the disorders and enormities in Christes Churche, vvherein they doo them vvronge, if they thought not, that it apperteined to the Princely au∣ritie to * 1.2 ouersee, care, and prouide for the good order of Christes Churche: and to redresse, punishe, and remoue the inordinate euilles therein.
