If you meane of the vniversall Churche, onely Christ is the head, neyther hath he* 1.1 any Uicegerent to supply that vniuersall care ouer the whole Churche. But if you speake of particular Churches, as the Churche of Englande, the Churche of Den∣marke. &c. then as the Prince is chiefe gouernour and head of the common wealthe* 1.2 vnder God, so is he of the Churche likewise. For it is certayne that the christian Ma∣gistrate vnder Christ, hath as great authoritie, as the Magistrate had vnder ye law: But then the ciuill Magistrates had chiefe authoritie bothe in matters of the com∣mon wealth, and of the Churche also (as héereafter it shall more playnely appeare) therefore the Magistrate ought to haue the same nowe in like maner. T. C. doth but* 1.3 glaunce at the Magistrate, bicause he dare not speake playnly: but suche licentious spéeches (thoughe voyde of all reason and grounde) may peraduenture sinke déeper into the heart of the subiects, especially of the Papist (who hathe already conceyued the same opinion of the ciuill Magistrate) than will be rooted out in shorte time: so carefull are these men in procuring to the Prince due obedience, and so faythfull are they in maynteyning hir authoritie, according to their othe and duetie.
