To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Oh, the complicated and confused state ofaffairs [perplexity] that would result!
Therefore the Church can never be better governed andpreserved than if we all live under one head, Christ, and allthe bishops equal in office (although they be unequal ingifts), be diligently joined in unity of doctrine, faith, Sacraments, prayer, and works of love, etc. , as St. Jeromewrites that the priests at Alexandria together and in commongoverned the churches, as did also the apostles, andafterwards all bish...ops throughout all Christendom, until thePope raised his head above all.
This teaching shows forcefully that the Pope is the veryAntichrist, who has exalted himself above, and opposed himselfagainst Christ because he will not permit Christians to besaved without his power, which, nevertheless, is nothing, andis neither ordained nor commanded by God. This is, properlyspeaking to exalt himself above all that is called God as Paulsays, 2 Thess. 2, 4. Even the Turks or the Tartars, greatenemies of Christians as they are, do not do this, but theyallow whoever wishes to believe in Christ, and take bodilytribute and obedience from Christians.
