The Pope now runneth not up and down into every country, he goeth not openly and privately, from house to house, and to every alehouse, as ye would him to do, like one of your ministers: Neither, I trow, ye masters, that be Superintendents your selves, think it convenient, that ye go from house to house, to preach your Gospel at these dates. And would ye the Pope to abase him self to that ye think becometh not your selves? He hath (as meet it is) other fit men to help to bear his burden with him. And whereas one body sufficeth not for so great and so many affairs: for Counsel, he ⟨p. 728⟩hath many heads: for oversight, many eyes: for ear, many hearts: for preaching, many tongues: for work, many hands: for knowledge, many ears: for expedition of matters, many feet: for the great weight of his charge, many shoulders: briefly, for all necessary and behoofeful cases, convenient helps. The like helps would S. Peter use, were he now living.
