And whereas for the Temporall Power of the Pope, he alledgeth further, that St. Paul (1 Cor. 6.) appointed Judges under the Heathen Princes of those times, such as were not ordained by those Princes; it is not true. For St. Paul does but advise them, to take some of their Brethren to compound their differences, as Arbitrators, rather than to goe to law one with another before the Heathen Judges; which is a wholsome Precept, and full of Charity, fit to bee practised also in the Best Christian Common-wealths.
Eta Bellarminok Aita Santuaren boterearen alde dioen arren San Paulok (1 Ko. 6) garai hartako printze paganoen erregealdian, printzeok agindu gabe, epaileak izendatu zituela, hori ez da egia. Zeren, San Paulok hauxe besterik ez baitzuen egin, hots, kristauei beren artetik zenbait gizakume aukeratzeko gomendatu, beren arteko gorabeherak konpontzeko, legera jo eta beren arteko auziak epaile paganoen aurrera eraman beharrean. Eta hau gomendio osasungarria eta karitatez betea da, Estatu kristauetan praktikan jartzeko ere era berean balio duena.
