Bede

By me kings reign, etc. He calls apostles kings, or other saints, who know how to rule both themselves first and then the church subject to them well: lawmakers, the authors of both Testaments, and the following writers of the Church; he calls princes and potent ones the other teachers and rulers of the faithful. Certainly, all these, if they are to be anything, have it not except through wisdom. For it is said: Because without me you can do nothing (John XV).
