That the Pontiff was called God by the jlous Prince Constantine, and that as god he tan not be judged as man. 10. That as god he Is far above the reach f all human law and judgment. li. That all laws contrary to the canons tnd decrees of the Roman prelates are of no lorce. 13. That all of the ordinances of the pope are unhesitatingly to be obeyed. li We ought not even to speak to one hom the pope has ex -communicated. 14.

Besides, are the Inquisitors es pecially deputed by the apostolic see. Every bishop In hi diocese Is thought to be, and in reality Is, a natural Inquisitor, (liter ally born Inquisitor), so as to have the same power with those already mentioned In a cause of heresy. 83.
