A Council at . uintilineburg condemned D twoHerefies : The firft was the Royalift Herefie of Loyalty, called the Hen- ricians, from Henry the Emperor,who thought that the Pope and Prelates had hot authority to depofeKings and Emperors, but were to beSubje&s to them. An Herefie,if fuch,that moft Kings are very much inclined to, as taught them by St. Paul, Rom. r 3. and by St. Peter himfelf. You fee, OPrinces, if you will be the Popes and Prelates Executioners, that you mutt come at latt to the Stake your felves, and fall under the Law de Hereticis comburendis,unlefs you will beServants your felves,or truft to`forne peculiar chalibeate remedies.
