Again,1 Supremi capitis locum usurpans: Taking upon her the place of the supreme head This is untrue. Here lay a chase. If the Pope go forward, he will win the game. Where is she ever called the supreme head? Peruse the acts of Parliament, the Records, the Rolls, and the Writs of Chancery or Exchequer, which pass in her Graces name: where is she ever called the supreme head of the Church?

He imagineth, that her Majesty preacheth in the Pulpits, that she administereth the Sacraments, that she sitteth in the Consistories and heareth all spiritual causes. Which if she do, she doth more than the Pope doth. It were monstrous to see the Pope in a Pulpit. And it is monstrous to see Antichrist sit in the Temple of God, to see a Bishop girded with both swords, to see a Priest take upon him the rule of Heaven and Earth, the servant of servants advanced above all the Princes of the world, and to set his foot upon their necks: a wretched man to claim authority over the Angels of God, and a sinful creature to suffer himself to be called by y name of God.
