English Concord.

BEcane in his fift Question demanded, Whether the kings Primacy consist in any power, or iurisdiction, Ecclesiasticall?

And I im my fift Question demanded, Whether the Primacy of the Pope consist in any power or iurisdiction Temporall? That is, in a dominion tem∣porall and coactiue; considering that Christ saide thus: The Kings of the nations beare rule ouer them, but ye shall not be so: and that Bernard writeth thus, peremptorily:* 1.1 It is plaine that dominion is forbidden the Apostles. There∣fore presume thou to vsurp to thy selfe, either as a Sone∣raigne. the Apostleshippe; or as an Apostle, the Soue∣raigntie. Thou art plainely forbidden one of them. If thou vvilt haue both together, thou stalt lose both. Otherwise. thinke not thy selfe to be excepted out of the number of those, of vvhome the Lord complaineth, saying; They ruled, but not by mee.

And yet,* 1.2 Boniface the 8, giueth the King of France to vnderstand, that hee is chiefe Lord in matters Spirituall and Temporall through the vvhole vvorld: and commands the saide King to acknowledge that he holds the Kingdome of France of him: because it is hereticall to thinke and holde the con••rarie. In like manner saide Pope Adrian: The Emperour raigneth by vs;* 1.3 vvhence hath hee the Empire but from vs? Beholde: it is in our power to giue it to vvhom vvee vvill. And according to their Canon law: Kings and Emperours, by the command and vvill of Christ, re∣ceiue their power from the Pope, as* 1.4 from their Lord God.

Hereunto the Iesuite makes answere as followeth.
