Lord Chan. I pray you, where ••nd you that?
Brad. I find it in many places, but especially in the 13th chap. of the Romans, where St. […] exhorteth "every soul to be subject as the higher powers:" but what power? "The power verily which beareth the sword; which is not the spiritual, but the temporal power." As Chrysostom, well noteth upon the same, which your honour knoweth better than I. He, (Chrysostom I mean) there plainly showeth that bishops, prophets, and apostles, are obedient to the temporal magis•••tes.

HERE the lord chancellor was angered yet more, and said, how that Mr. Bradford went about to deny all obedience to the queen for his oath: and so, said he, this man would make God's word a warrant of his disobedience; for he will answer the queen on this sort, that when she says, Now swear to the bishop of Rome, or obey his authority; No, (will he say) for I should be forsworn, and so he makes the queen no queen.
