168 THE LIFE OF 



CHAP. &quot; and not strangers 1 ; or else we must take you for an evil 



&quot; clerk of the market,&quot; as he proverbially and pleasantly 



expressed himself. I have set down this thus largely, that 

 the reader may see, not only his skill in the civil law, but his 

 solid judgment in comparing that and the proper law of this 

 realm together, 



CHAP. XIII. 



A great Divine. Well skilled in Hebrew learning. A 

 good Textuary and Preacher. His judgment. Some of 

 his sayings. 



m divine&quot; -*-T as our Bishop was thus universally learned, so (as 

 learning, his holy function required) he was best seen in theology. 

 He accurately discussed deep points in divinity : he had an 

 excellent faculty in a sound interpretation of the sense of 

 difficult places of Scripture. He was well read in the Fa 

 thers and ecclesiastical history, and a great preacher. 



The Papists, and Scotch Protestants following John 

 Knox, gave the supreme power in temporals only to the 

 Prince ; but retained the power in spirituals to the Church, 

 that is, to themselves. But our Divine decided the point in 

 his Sovereign the Queen s behalf; that she was supreme in 

 both. &quot; Both,&quot; said he, (in his book against the Blast,) &quot; be- 

 &quot; long to her. But not in one manner. For in the one, 

 * that of policy, she hath a function that she must be a 

 &quot; doer. In the other she hath authority and oversight, but 

 &quot; not the function and practice. As we see in the common- 

 4t wealth of the Jews first between Aaron and Moses, Moses 

 &quot; controlled Aaron, but yet he executed not Aaron s office. 

 &quot; He offered no incense nor sacrifice ordinarily; he meddled 

 &quot; not with the ark, nor any such thing as belonged to the 

 &quot; priesthood ; he ware not the garments ; he ministered not 

 &quot; the sacrifice, And yet had he authority to redress 

 &quot; Aaron s toils, by the commission he received at God s 

 &quot; hand, Tu erls illi in Deum, et ille erit os tuum?
