This worldly principality, entered not, as you pretend,¹ into the ministry, with the Christian Magistrate, immediately ⟨p. 15⟩after the time of persecution: but long after. For, it began first ²at Alexandria in Cyril's time, and after entered into Rome. your answer also, to the canon attributed unto the Apostles, is vain, for the canon opposeth the attendance in his ecclesiastical ministry, unto worldly offices: beside, that your answer is otherwise to homely. For it is as much, as if you should answer, that the canon is understanded of all worldly offices: saving those which you defend.
