By this expression the Baptist acknowledgeth Christs Godhead, as did also Mary by washing his feet. But what doth the Pope that holds forth his feet
to be kissed? Is not this he that sits as God in the Temple of God? Is not this Dominus Deus noster Papa? Learned he not this abominable insolency of Dioclesian that bloudy Persecutor? who as he was the first Roman Emperour that would be wor∣shipped* 1.1 as God, so he was the first that wore shooes embellished with precious stones, and held forth his feet to be kissed of his pro∣strate suitors.
