English Concord.
BEcane in his Iarre, and ninth Question, deman∣ded, Whether the King can create and depose Bi∣shoppes?
And I in my Concord, and ninth Question, demaun∣ded, Whether the Pope may create and depose Bishoppes?
Heerein I shewed how blasphemously (against Christ, the sole head of the Church) these Popes para∣sites write of Papall Primacy, touching this point.
Durand:* 1.1 All Bishops descend from the Pope, as mem∣bers from the head, and of his fulnes, they all receiue.
Petrus de Palude: The Church hath not any power of Iurisdiction but from Peter. From Peter after Christ, all spirituall power is deriued.
Bellarmine: The Pope alone is, Iure diuino, by Gods word, or right diuine; but Bishops, by the Popes law, or by Papall ordinance.
Hereunto the Iesuite, in his Examen, maketh no an∣swere; as though such blasphemies were currant a∣mong them for good Popish-catholike doctrines.
