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.

Thou seest here (good Reader) that M. Doctor keepeth his old wont of manifest perverting of the words and meaning of the authors of the admonition / for where as they say / that the name of Earle / County Palatine / Justice of peace / and Quorum / Commissioner / are antichristian / when they are given to ministers of the church / whose calling will not agree with such titles / he concludeth simply / that they say that they be altogether unlawful / and simply antichristian. As / if I should reason that it is not meet that the Queens majesty should preach or minister the Sacraments / therefore it is not meet that there should be any preaching or ministering of the sacraments.
