BEcane, in his Iarre, and 13. Quest. demaunded, Whether the King may compell his subiects to the oath of Primacy?
And I, in my Concord, and 13. Quest. demaunded, Whether the Pope may compell his subiects (that is, all Christians) to the oath of Primacy?
Because, according to their Canon law, What Chri∣stian soeuer will not obey the Popes precept (euen to kill
his Soueraigne, and natiue King) runnes into the sinne of Idolatry & Heathenisme. Especially the Bishops: who 〈◊〉〈◊〉 etyed to the Pope by oath, That if they gaine-say the Pope, though they speake the truth, yet they sin against their oath made to the Pope.
Lastly, because Bellarmine saith: If the Pope should commaund vice, or forbid vertue, the Church were bound to belieue vertue to be euill, and vice to be good.
