Here M. Doctor seemeth to seek after some glory of a good memory / as though he had not Augustine by him / when he wrote this sentence. And yet he marvellously forgetteth him self / for he used this place before in his. 23. page / and citeth it there precisely and absolutely / where also I have showed how unadvisedly that sentence of Augustine is approved / & how that thereby a window ⟨p. 98⟩is open to bring in all popery / and whatsoever other corrupt opinions. That the names of Lords / and honour / as they are used in this realm / are not meet to be given to the ministers of the gospel / there hath been spoken before.

As for Prelate of the Garter / if it be a needful office / there are enow to execute it besides the ministers / which / for as much as they be appointed to watch over the souls of men purchased with the blood of Christ / all men understand / that it is not meet that they should attend upon the body / much less upon the leg / and least of all upon the Garter. It is not unlawful for Princes to have ministers of their honour / but also it is not lawful to take those that God hath appointed for an other end / to use to such purposes.
