In the ende of that fiftenth article or reason, this is added: And whiche of them haue not preached against the Popes twoo swordes: now whether they vse thē not them selues? Touching the Popes twoo swordes, we are of the same minde still, for the Pope contrary to the word of God taketh from Princes vnto him selfe, that authoritie which is due vnto them by the worde of God, and would haue them to receiue that authoritie from him, whiche he hath no power to giue: the Pope also requireth the full authoritie of a ciuill magistrate, and exempteth him self from all subiection, which is 〈1 line〉〈1 line〉lat cōtrary to the word of God: our Bishops* 1.1 in this church do not chalenge (as of their owne right) any such ciuil authoritie, but only according to their dutie execute that, that by the Prince, and lawes of this realme, for iust considerations is laide vpō them. Neither do they meddle in all ciuill causes, or exercise all ciuill iurisdiction, but suche only as helpeth to discipline, and to the good gouernment of this church and state: wherfore we may safely preach against the Popes twoo swordes, and yet lawefully defend that iu∣risdictiō and authoritie, that any Bishop hath in this church for any thing that I knowe.
