ARTICLE I. Jesus Christ hath instituted in his Church the most excellent kind of Govern∣ment. Monarchical Government is the most excellent.

A Man should not doubt that the Wis∣dom Incarnate did not institute in his Church the most excellent kind of Govern∣ment,* 1.1 dovremo noi persuadere che la sapienza incarnata istituisse la sua Chiesa con un go∣verno il qual non fosse migliore.

Now Monarchical Government is the best of all even among Christians, essendo l'ottima forma del governo spirituale fra' Christiani,* 1.2 la monarchia.* 1.3

So that it must needs be that the Pope was instituted by Jesus Christ King of the Church, and Monarch of the whole World, adunque la necessità del governo monarchico si palesò per esperienza.* 1.4

Therefore it is that the Popes do reign at Rome,* 1.5 regnare in Roma, and their Kingdom is call'd the Kingdom of the Vatican, regno di Vaticano;* 1.6 and the Pope is called God's Viceroy; and our Cardinal-Historian calls Pope Alexander VII,* 1.7 Vicerè d'istraordinario valore.

He hath the Seignory of all the world,* 1.8 il dominio de l'intero mondo Christiano.

He is the Monarch and Lord thereof,* 1.9 Monarca e Segnor del mondo.

Insomuch that the whole World is the Empire whereof he is the Emperor, whose puissance is upheld by the veneration of Emperors and all other Kings, who be his Subjects,* 1.10 quella venerazione ch' è la base del loro Imperio.
