Chamber of Imagery in the Catholic Church - Section 6

True Church Government and the Ministry - This is that discipline in whose execution the blood of an innumerable company of holy martyrs hath been shed,—that wherein all the vital spirits of the Papacy do act themselves, and whereby it doth subsist; and although it be the image of jealousy, or the image of the first beast, set up by the dragon, yet it cannot be denied, but that it is very wisely accommodated unto the present state of the generality of them that are called Christians amongst them. For being both blind and carnal, and having thereby lost all sense and experience of the spiritual power of the rule of Christ in their consciences, they are become a herd not fit to be governed or ruled any other way.
