You say it is more easie for the wicked by bribing to peruert and corrupt one man, than to peruert and ouerthrowe the fayth and pie∣tie of a zelous and godly companie: and therefore better the gouern∣ment of the Churche to be committed to many, than to one. If this* 1.1 reason be good, then the more there be that rule, the better is the go∣uernment, and so popularis status erit optimus reipublicae status: agaynst all both diuinitie and Philosophie: for we see that God him selfe in his com∣mon weale of Israell, did alwayes allowe the gouernment and su∣perioritie of one ouer the rest, bothe in the time of Iudges, and after in the time of the Kings. And in the newe Testament we may also see that kind of gouernment most allowed of. 1. Pet. 2. But I will not heere reason with you in this matter, and call that into question, which hath bin by so many learned men determined, and by the ex∣amples of all good common weales confirmed.
