Io. Whitgifte.

I sée you allowe muche more authoritie in wordes, that is in the examples you haue vsed, than you wyll willingly acknowledge: I sée also that this authoritie, whyche you call tyrannie and excessiue, is moderate and lawfull, and according bothe to the lawes of God and man. To conclude, I see that you are as farre from order, and a ryghte forme of gouernment, as you are from modestie and due obedience, and that the ende you shoote at, is nothyng else but a méere confusion, not onelye of the Churche, but of the common wealthe also: the gouernment whereof you would haue framed, according to your platforme of the Churche: that is, you would haue it brought from a Monarchie, to a popular or Aristocraticall kinde of gouernmente, euen as you would haue the Church.
