The Queen's Majesty has the chief power in this Realm of England and her other dominions, unto whom the chief government of all estates of this Realm, whether they are ecclesiastical or civil, in all causes belongs, and is not nor ought to be subject to any foreign jurisdiction. Where we attribute to the Queen's Majesty the chief government, by which titles we understand the minds of some slanderous folks to be offended, we give not to our princes the ministering either of God's Word or of sacraments, the which thing the injunctions also lately set forth by Elizabeth our Queen do most plainly testify: But only that prerogative which we see to have been given always to all godly princes in holy Scriptures by God himself, that is, that they should rule all estates and degrees committed to their charge by God, whether they are ecclesiastical or temporal, and restrain with the civil sword the stubborn and evil-doers. The Bishop of Rome has no jurisdiction in this Realm of England. The laws of the Realm may punish Christian men with death for heinous and grievous offenses. It is lawful for Christian men at the commandment of the magistrate to wear weapons and serve in the wars.
