But Nazianzene, as he is here alleged, said unto the Emperor, Ovis nostra es: ⟨p. 155⟩Thou art Our Sheep. 1No marvel. He meant, that the Emperor was One of the Flock, and Fold of Christ. So S. Ambrose said sometime unto the Emperoure Valentinian: Quid honorificentius, quàm ut Ecclesiae Filius dicatur Imperator? Imperator enim bonus intra Ecclesiam, 2non supra Ecclesiam est: What thinge is there more honourable, then for the Emperor to be called a Child of the Church? For a good emperor is Within the Church: but not Above the Church. S. Chrysostome saithe, Deus ipse subiecit Caput Principis manui Sacerdotis: God him self hath set the Head of the Prince under the Hand of the Priest. For, as touching Faith, and the Obedience of the Gospel, the Highest Prince is but a Subject. Al this proveth well the Authority, and Dignity of God's Word: but it maketh nothing for Confession.
But Nazianzene, as he is here alleged, saide vnto the Emperour, Ouis nostra es: ⟨p. 155⟩Thou arte Oure Sheepe. 1No marueile. He meante, that the Emperoure was One of the Flocke, and Folde of Christe. So S. Ambrose saide sometime vnto the Emperoure Valentinian: Quid honorificentius, quàm vt Ecclesiae Filius dicatur Imperator? Imperator enim bonus intra Ecclesiam, 2non supra Ecclesiam est: What thinge is there more honourable, then for the Emperour to be called a Childe of the Churche? For a good •mperour is Within the Churche: but not Aboue the Churche. S. Chrysostome saithe, Deus ipse subiecit Caput Principis manui Sacerdotis: God him selfe hathe set the Heade of the Prince vnder the Hande of the Prieste. For, as touchinge Faithe, and the Obedience of the Gospel, the Highest Prince is but a Subiecte. Al this proueth wel the Authoritie, and Dignitie of Goddes Woorde: but it maketh nothinge for Confession.
