chirche of Englonde ire lande because the hole realme hathe agreed ther to thē when all the hole realm cōsented that the pope shuld be called the hede of the chirche of Englonde he was lawfully called the hede of the chirche of englōde If it be a good argumēt to say the hole realme do the it ergo it must nedis be true A litle before ye haue bylded the kyngis supremeci vpon the popis traditiones here ye bylde it vpon a multitud of mē haue ye no better fundaciō for it thē so●itrow it will ones break out that ye hold in so closly But to the pur pose agayne when as supreme gouernoure in earthe under god betokeneth as myche as supreme hede dothe and is as honorable a terme for the maiesti of a kyng as the other is what nede ye make so myche besynes a bout a worde when as i haue gyuē the kynge in the title that i gaue hym so myche honor as is lawful to gyue unto any erthly man by the worde of god Where as i named hym supreme gouernour under god i excluded bothe emperour pope all other that myght seme to haue any hy autorite or myght derogate any thyng from the kyngis supremite And be cause supreme gouernour semed unto me a more honorable title and more becomly for a kyng then to be called hede of the chirche as antichrist callethe hym self and certayn wanton persones where as i haue bene therfore call the kyngis hyghenes pope of Englond becaws ye gyue hym the title that the pope hade i changed that terme in to a better and haue taken the occasion of mokkyng of our prince a way But lest ye or any other shuld thynk that i shuld deny that the kyng is supreme hede of the chirche of Englond and irelonde i hold as well as ye do that he is supreme hede of the chirche of Englond and ireland if ye under stande by thys worde chirche an outwarde gatheryng to gether of men and wymen in a polytike ordre But if ye take thys worde chirche in the signification that it is taken in the xvj of Matthew and to the Ephesianes the first and fift and to the Colossianes the first chapter i deny that the kyng or any erthly man may be called hede of the chirche saue only Christe for the chirche that is spoken of in the xvj of Matthew of that nature that the gates of hell can not preuale agaynst it then he that must be the hede of that chirche must be suche on as the gates of hell cannot preuale for the body and the hede must be of one nature but we ar suere of no mo suche but of Christe alone therfore ar we only suer that Christe is the hede of that chirche The kyng our master hathe suche autorite gyuen hym of god as all other kynges haue and haue had and nether more nor less but nether the Emperour nor kyng herode in Christes tyme was ghostly or mystical hed of the chirch but only polytike hedes of the chirche therfore our master is only politike hede of the chirche of Englonde and not misticall and ghostly hede of it An euel prince and a uitious lyuer hathe as mych autorite gyuen hym of god as a good and a uertuous and all a lyke but euery uitious kyng is a membre of the deuel and no membre of the deuel can be hede of Christes mysticall body whiche is the chirche then can no prynce be a mysticall or sprituall hed of the chirche whiche is Chrystis mysticall body But leste we shuld reson without a suer grounde heare what the scripture sayethe of the hede of the chirche Paul unto the Ephesianes in the first chapter writetht thus of Christe god hath subdued all thynges vnder hys fete and hathe gyuen hym to be an head aboue all thynges to hys chirche whiche is hys body So far Paul then is the chirche Christis body was kyng herode the virgine Maries mysticall hede and spirituall hede of the Apostelles and of the rest of Christis chirche or was the Emperour the spirituall hede of Christes chirche in thos dayes if ye say nay no more is any man in earth now hede of Christis mysticall body whiche is the chirche Paul also to the Ephesianes in the v. chapter sayethe the husband is hede ouer hys wyfe as Christe is hede of the chirche but a good husband will haue no mo hedes of hys wyfe but hymself alone so nomore will Christe haue any mo hedes of hys mystical body and hys spouse the chirche but hym self nether is it nedeful to haue any spirituall vnder hede of thys hys mystical body for lak of hys presence for he hath promysed us that he will be with us unto the ende of the world And as cōcernyng spirituall maters Christe gaue unto peter as myche autorite as he gaue unto any kyng or Emperour that ether is or was or shall be when he gaue hym the keyes of the kyngdom of heuen but he made not peter nether any other of the Apostelles nether Chefe hede of the chirche nether vnder hede of it therfore ar nether Emperoures nor kynges popes nor bisshopes nether vnder nor ouer spiritual hedes of the chirche whiche is Christes mystical body To conclud i hold that the kyng our master is the suprem polytike hede vnder god both of all the spiritualti and also of the temperalty of England and irelande and that there is nether spirituall nor politike hede in earthe aboue hym nether bisshop kyng nor emperour If thys be not enoghe that i gyue unto the kyngis hyghnes tell me what more is to be gyuen by the scripture and i shal be glad to gyue hym it The rescuer The man pretendeth to hunt the romishe fox and assigneth ij places specially one vnder the aultare another under the chalice where by he declarethe where at he shoteth Albeit he wold gladly dissemble it yit he cannot utterly hyde it he is angrie withe the aultare withe the chalice and fareth as miners do that intend to throw down ther neyborres hows pretēdyng to fynde an othar ye may sown se wherfore he seketh that fyndeth fault in the altare and chalice but let us heare the man speake examin hys resones whether ther be any reson in thē Thus he begynneth hys huntyng ye lordly bisshoppes etc. The hunter Where ye say that i hunt the fox vnder the chalice and therby mean that i hunt agaynst the Sacrament your lordship lyethe as ye had wont to do for i say not that the fox is vnder the chalice but i say that i trust that if the kyng fynde the fox vnder the chalice that he will no more suffer hym to haue sauctuarj there then Salomon suffered ioab to haue any sanctuarij of the aultare When i say thoghe steuen gardiner had brought up of hys costes all the lordes children of Englond yit i trust for all that if he can be
