There is nothing added or altered worth the noting: only in the fiftenth reason, where they sayde before that we honored Byshoppes by the titles of Kings: nowe they haue recanted that, and condemned themselues of an vntruth, for they haue left out that title.
In the ende of that fiftéenth article or reason, this is added: and whiche of them haue not preached a∣gainst the Popes two swords: nowe whether they vse them not thēselues? Touching the Popes two swords, we are of the same minde stil, for the Pope contrary to the worde of God taketh from Princes vnto him selfe that authoritie whiche is due vnto them by the worde of God, and woulde haue them to receiue that au∣thoritie from him whiche he hath no power to gyue: the Pope also requireth the full authoritie of a ciuill magi∣strate, and exempteth him selfe from all subiectiō, which is flat contrary to the word of God: our Byshops in this Church do not challenge as of their owne right any such ciuill authoritie, but only according to their duty execute that, that by the Prince, & lawes of this Realme, for iust considerations is layde vpō them. Neither do they medle in all ciuill causes, or exercise all ciuill iurisdiction, but such only as helpeth to discipline and to the good gouern∣ment of this church and state: Wherefore we may safe∣ly preache against the Popes two swords, and yet law∣fully defende that iurisdiction and authoritie that any bishop hath in this Church, for any thing that I knowe.
