It is great Arrogance, to advance a Bishop above a King: Notwithstanding in some good meaning it may be true. So a Judge, in knowledge of the Law: so a Doctor of Physique, in his profession: so a Pilot, in knowledge of the Sea, and guiding of a ship: so a Captain, in Martial affairs is above any King: And it behoveth a King, be he never so wise, or Mighty, in every of these several faculties, to be guided by them. And thus is the King inferior, not only to a Bishop, as you say, but also to every Inferior Priest.
It is greate Arrogancie, to auance a Bishop aboue a Kinge: Notwithstandinge in somme good meaninge it maie be true. So a Iudge, in knowledge of the Lawe: so a Doctoure of Physique, in his profession: so a Pilote, in knowledge of the Sea, and guidinge of a shippe: so a Captaine, in Martial affaires is aboue any Kinge: And it behoueth a Kinge, be he neuer so wise, or Mighty, in euery of these seueral faculties, to be guided by them. And thus is the Kinge inferioure, not onely to a Bishop, as you saie, but also to euery Inferiour Prieste.
So S. Chrysostom saith of Christs Apostles: 1Omnem Terrarum Orbem peruaserunt, & omnibus principibus fuerunt magis propriè Principes, Regibus potentiores: The Apostles roved over the whole world, and were more Princelike in deed, then the Princes them selves, and more puissant, and mighty, then the Kings.
