But what needeth more examples? When the Ark of God was restored home, David being King, played the chiefest part: David being King, made Psalms and ditties: David being King, danced before the Ark: and being king, set the Bishops & Priests in order. And for this cause they are kings, even to serve y• Lord. And therefore they do not well that divide common weals in two, and devise two heads, the one for ⟨image 51⟩the spirituality, the other for the laity. For S. Paul saith, Omnis anima superioribus potestatibus 1subdita sit. Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. Every soul, whether he be bishop, Cardinal, or Pope, all are subject to their Prince.

Paul saith, Omnis anima superioribus potestatibus 1subdita sit. Let euery soule bee subiect to the higher powers. Euery soule, whether he be bishop, Cardinal, or Pope, al are subiect to their Prince. And Chrisostome vpon that place, saith, Etiam si Apostolus sis, si Euangelista, siue Propheta, siue quisquis tandem fueris, neque enim pietatē
