Quote: sovereign power should rule over religious leaders; otherwise peace and religion can not stand together

Quotation

It is manifest therefore, that they who have sovereign power, are immediate rulers of the church under Christ, and all other but subordinate to them. If that were not, but kings should command one thing upon pain of death, and priests another, upon pain of damnation, it would be impossible that peace and religion should stand together.   Google-1   Google-2
