translation, or confesse their fault. And as for the kinges supre∣macie* 1.1 ouer the Church, if they make any doubt, let thē read S. Ignatius wordes, who was in the Apostles time, uen when S. Peter gaue the foresaide admonition of subiection to the king, and knewe very wel how farre his preeminence extended, and therefore saith plainely in notorious wordes, that, we must first honour God, then the Bishop, and then the king. Because in all thinges nothing is comparable to God, & in the Chuch, no∣thing greater then ye Bishop, who is consecrated to God for the saluation of the whole worlde, and c 1.2 among magi∣strates & temprall rulers, none is like the king. See his b 1.3 other wordes immediatly folowing, where he preferreth the Bishops office before the kings & al other thinges of price among men.

FVLK. 23. Howsoeuer those Epistles bee truely or vntruely ascribed to Ignatius which heere I wil not dis∣pute there is nothing sayde in this that you cite of the Bishops preeminence aboue the king, but wee acknow∣ledge it to be true of ye meanest priest of Gods Church in matters properly belonging to his office which yet doth not exempt him from subiection to his prince, but that in causes ecclsiasticall also he is to be commanded by his prince to doe his duetie, and to be punished by him, if he doe otherwise.
