Mark, I beseech you, and let it not out of your remembrance. They say, this is the key of the Church, that one be the head of it, to rule it, and to govern and keep in unity all the rest. But Gregory which was himself a Bishop of Rome, saith, it is Universa pernicies, A general corruption and plague of the Church. Let us according to Gods word, according to the Canons, know, that as Cyprian saith, Unus est Episcopatus., cuius a singulis in solidum 1pars tenetur. There is but one Bishopric, part whereof is holden in whole, of every several Bishop. And as Hierome saith, Ubicunque fuerit Episcopus, sive Romae, sive Engubij, 2five Constantinopoli. sive Rhegij, sive Alexandriae, sive Tanais, eiusdem meriti, eiusdem est & sacerdotij. Wheresoever there be a Bishop, be it at Rome, be it at Eugubium, be it at Constantinople, be it at Rhegium, be it at Alexandria, be it at Tanais, they are all of one worthiness, they are all of one priesthood.
