1. Whatsoever the power of Princes be in things and causes Ecclesiastical, it is not (sure) absolute nor unbounded. Solius Dei est, saith eStapleton, juxta suam sanctissimam voluntatem, action• suas omn• dirigere, & omnia facere quaecunque voluit. And again: Vis tuam voluntatem esse regulam rerum omnium, ut omnia siant pro tuo beneplacito? Whether we respect the persons or the places of Princes, their power is confined within certain limits, so that they may not enjoin whatsoever they list. As touching their persons: Bishop Spotswood would do no less then warrant the Articles of Perth, by King James his personal qualities. His person fsaith he, were he not our Sovereign, gives them sufficient authority, being recommended by him: For he knows the nature of things, and the consequences of them, what is fit for a Church to have, and what not, better then we do all.
