"This plough in England is drawn by two oxen

outstanding above the rest, the King and the

Archbishop of Canterbury. These two, drawing

the plough, rule the land, one by human

justice and sovereignty, the other by divine

doctrine and authority."

Archbishop Anselm (St) according to Brother Eadmer
