The most therefore that he can conclude of this / for the ministry / is / that there must be minister that shall rule / and people that shall be obedient / and hereby he can not prove that there should be any degrees amongst the ministers / and ecclesiastical governors / unless he will say peradventure / that as there are under Magistrates / and a king above them all / so there should be under ⟨p. 109⟩ministers / and one minister above them all. But he must remember that it is not necessary in a common wealth / that there should be one over all / for that there are other good common wealths / wherein many have like power and authority. And further / if because there is one king in a land above all / he will conclude there should be one archbishop over all: I say / as I have said / that it is not against any word of God which I know (although it be inconvenient) but that there may be one Cesar over all the world / and yet I think M. Doctor will not say / that there may be one archbishop over all the world.

But he must remember that it is not necessary in a common wealth / that there should be one ouer all / for that there are other good common wealthes / wherein many haue lyke power and authoritie. And further / if because there is one king in a lande aboue all / he will conclude there should be one archbyshop ouer all: I say / as I haue sayde / that it is not agaynst any word of God which I know (although it be inconuenient) but that there may be one Cesar ouer all the world / and yet I thinke M. Doctor will not say / that there may be one archbyshop ouer all the world.
