Queen Elizabeth doth not any thing monstrously. She preacheth not, she ministereth not the Sacraments, she doth neither excommunicate, nor absolve from excommunication: she sitteth not to give sentence in spiritual causes: she challengeth not the dispensation of the Keys of the kingdom of Heaven. She doth nothing but which she may lawfully do, nothing but whereunto the Lord God hath given her especial warrant. Her Majesty is supreme Governor over her Subjects. The Bishops within her Realm are subjects to her. She governeth, they yield obedience. When occasion is offered to dispose of any thing, specially appertaining to the service of God, or to judge of any controversy arising in Spiritual causes: She commendeth and giveth to her learned Divines, the due consideration thereof: All other pleas & suites ⟨p. 51⟩she causeth to be ended at home, & suffereth no appeals to fly to Rome. Which is done for the ease, and quietness, and wealth of her good subjects. For, wherein grew more extremity against plain dealing, simple, and honest pore men? Whereby were they oftener shifted off, and put from the right of their suite, than by such appeals? when, after they had been haled thorough all the Courts in their own Country, they were driven to follow the matter 1500. miles at the Popes Courts in Rome.
Queene Elizabeth doth not any thing monstrously. She preacheth not, she ministreth not ye Sacraments, she doth neither excōmunicate, nor absolue frō excō munication: shee sitteth not to giue sentence in spirituall causes: she chalengeth not the dispensation of the Keyes of the kingdome of Heauen. She doth nothing but which she may lawfully do, nothing but wherevnto the Lord God hath giuen hir especiall warrant. Hir Maiestie is supreame Gouernour ouer hir Subiectes. The Bishoppes within hir Realme are subiects to hir. Shée gouerneth, they yéeld obedience. When occasion is offered to dispose of any thing, specially appertaining to the seruice of God, or to iudge of any controuersie arising in Spirituall causes: She commendeth and giueth to hir learned Diuines, the due consideration thereof: All other pleas & suites ⟨p. 51⟩shée causeth to be ended at home, & suffereth no appeales to flie to Rome. Which is done for the ease, and quietnesse, and wealth of hir good subiectes. For, wherein grew more extremitie against plaine dealing, simple, and honest pore menne? Whereby were they oftener shifted off, and put from the right of their suite, thā by such appeales? when, after they had bene haled thorough all the Courtes in theyr owne Countrey, they were driuen to followe the matter 1500. miles at the Popes Courtes in Rome.
