Chap. 2. the. 6. Diuision.

T. C. Pag. 168. somevvhat past the midst

And althoughe bothe be vnlawfull, yet as the case standeth in our realme, it is more tollerable that the ciuill Magistrate should doe the office of a minister, than that the minister shoulde inter∣meddle with the function of the Magistrate. For when the accounts shall be cast, it will fall out, that there are more sufficient and able men to serue in the common wealth of this realme, than in the Church, and greater want in the one, than in the other.

Io. Whitgifte.

This reason of yours if it were true dothe but accuse the Prince and hir Coun∣cell of lacke of due consideration of the state of this Realme: for this is a reason of Policie, and not of Diuinitie. Undoubtedly you are set vp in the chayre of controle∣ment, and your giftes are so great, that you dare presume to prescribe both new Di∣uinitie, and newe Pollicie. I doe nothing doubte but that the state of this common wealth is better knowne and considered, than that there shall néede any of your ad∣uertisementes for the gouernment of it: and therefore I passe ouer these wordes of yours, as voyde of reason, and full of presumption, and suche, whereby of stomacke onely you séeke to discredite and to disable the state of the Churche, and ecclesiasticall persons, agaynst whome you haue conceyued displeasure.
