To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It recognises that the will of Christ resides, not in the ministers of public worship acting separately, but in the whole brotherhood, to which alone we can apply the words, ' His body, the fulness of Him who filleth all in all. ' And this is consonant with the most ancient opinion and usage of the church: for apostolical and evangelical precedent, as shown in such words as ' Tell it unto the church 1, ' or by St. Paul's conduct in the case of the incestuous man at Corinth, is in favour of admi...tting the whole body to a voice in ruling and in judgment 2 . We must add one thing more as involved in this assertion of the Royal Supremacy, the ultimate supre- macy of the lay over the clerical element within the church, whenever the two came into collision ; and especially of the lay interests, those of just govern- ment, over the clerical interests, those which circle round the function of public worship. The English sovereigns have never taken holy orders, nor assumed to ordain or to administer the Sacraments in their own persons.
