himself be obeyed, though his Orders should be unreasonable, whilst his Power is of Divine Right, and grant that power to Bishops, as having their Jurisdiction of Divine Right, every Bishop will be Sove∣raign in his Diocess, ciascun vescovo sarà sovrano nella propria Diocese. The Bishops will pretend they have put down one Ty∣ranny in the Church, viz. the Pope's; di∣ranno d'haver estinta una tirannia, but instead of one pretended Tyranny, there will come up by that Disorder an innumerable crew of small Tyrants, e n'haveremo generate in∣numerabili; every one of them as a small Pope, will be obeyed with blind obedience, though he commands evil like the Pope, à guisa di Papi. They will have it, that their People shall believe all that they tell them, as if 'twere Gospel, as if they were infal∣lible Popes, not able to err, à guisa di Papi credendo ogni popolo ciò che il suo vescovo per altro soggetto ad errare gli proponesse comme senso della scrittura; And from thence what would follow, but that what one teaches in his Diocess, the other will condemn as He∣resie in his? Which would bring forth a∣mong believing Catholicks a most fearful contrariety of Laws, of Ceremonies; of Usages, and in fine, of Faith too, qual con∣trarietà forgerebbe di leggi, di riei, e fin' di fede trai fedeli.
The Source of all these Disorders comes from Bishops pretending that their Juris¦diction is of Divine Right.
