If we consider the Office of a King in it self, it is* one every where, not only among Christen Princes, but also among Heathen. * The definition of a King, which agreeth to Julius Cesar, or to Alexander the Great, as they were Monarchs, and Princes, is one with the definition of a King which agreeth to Henry the Eight, or to Charles the Fifth.‡ So that no more could King Henry as King, meddle with Religion, then Alexander, or Julius Cesar. * His place is chief among the lay, even when they are in the Church at the Service of God: and* without the Church in all Temporal things and causes, he is over the Priests themselves.
