To come therefore unto the matter / out of the places of the. 20. of Matthew / and the 22. of Luke where our saviour Christ / upon occasion of the inordinate request of the sons of Zebedee / putteth a difference / between the civill and ecclesiastical function / he placeth the distinction of them in two points / whereof the one is / in their office / the other is in their names and titles.
To come therfore vnto the matter / out of the places of the. 20. of Mathew / and the 22. of Luke where our sauiour Christ / vpon occasion of the inordinate request of the sonnes of Zebede / putteth a difference / betwene the ciuill and ecclesiasticall function / he placeth the distinction of them in two poyntes / whereof the one is / in their office / the other is in their names and titles.
The distinction of the office he noteth / in these words / the kings of the Gentiles have dominion over them / and the princes exercise authority over them / but it shall not be so with you. Whereupon the argument may be thus gathered. That / wherein the civill magistrate is severed from the ecclesiastical officer / doth not agree to one minister over an other. But the civill magistrate is severed from the ecclesiastical officer / by bearing dominion. Therefore bearing dominion doth not agree to one minister over an other.
The distinction of the office he noteth / in these words / the kings of the Gentiles haue dominion ouer them / and the princes exercise authoritie ouer them / but it shal not be so with you. Wherupon the argument may be thus gathered. That / wherein the ciuill magistrate is seuered from the ecclesiasticall officer / doth not agree to one minister ouer an other. But the ciuill magistrate is seuered from the ecclesiasticall officer / by bearing dominion. Therfore bearing dominion doth not agree to one minister ouer an other.
