The English concord in ansvver to Becane's English iarre: together with a reply to Becan's Examen of the English Concord. By Richard Harris, Dr. in Diuinitie.

English Concord.

BEcane, in his Iarre and 12. Question, demanded, Whence the King hath his Primacy?

And I, in my Concord, Quest. 12. demaunded, Whence the Pope hath his Primacy?

Whether of Christ, who said,* 1.1 My kingdome is not of this vvorld: or of Peter, Who forbade his fellow Pres∣byters to dominere ouer the Clergie; much more, ouer Kings. Or rather of the Diuell,* 1.2 who said, I will giue vnto thee, all the kingdoms of the vvorld, and the glory of them: for that is giuen to mee, and I giue it to vvhom I will. And euen so said the Diuels heire, Pope Adrian: Whence hath the Emperour his Empire but from vs? Be∣hold, it is in our power, to giue it to whom we will.

By these sayings it is demonstrated, that the Pope hath his Primacie, not from Christ, but from the Diuell. Yet heere the Iesuit hath not one word to answere for his Popes Primacy.
