and their Councils Abridged, 439 The Pope that falfly calls himfelf the fervant of the fervants ofGod, is in no degree of Evangelical ferviee, but worldly; and if he be in any order, it is in that of Devils, finingGod more culpably by fin. The Pope difpenfitb not with Simony, beingthe Capital Simoni(f, vowing ralh- ly to keep a moil damnable fíate. That the Popeis fummus Pontlfex is ridiculous : Chriff never approved filch a Dignity inPeter, or in any other. The Pope is the Patron ofAntichriff ;, not only that Jingle perfon, but the mul- titude of Popes front the time of the Churches Donation, the Cardinals, Bishops, and other their Complices, is the compounded monftrous perfon of AntichriJi : And yet Gregory, and other Popes that did good in their lives fruitfully repented at Taff: Peter, and Clement, and other helpers in the Faith, were. not Popes, but Gods helpers to edit the Church of Chrilf. That. this Papal Preeminence had its rife from theGofpel; is as falfe, as that all Errour arofe front thefirfl Truth. There are twelve Procurators and Difciples of Antichrills, the Pope, Cardi- nals, Patriarchs, Arch-bithops,,Bi(hops, Arch - deacons, Officials, Deans, Monks,forked Canons,falfe Fryars, and Quetiors.

Many more there be, that Fryars and the forefaid twelve Orders of Anti- ehriff arenot of God, and force Philofophical Opinions; which how far Hufs held them, I take this Catalogue for no proof without his words, the Context and Explication.
