You know what Tertullian saith of such as ye be:1 Edant Origins Ecclesiarum suarum, &c. We say likewise to you M. Jewel, and that we say to you, we say to each one of your Companions: Tell us the Original and first spring of your Church. She we us the Register of your Bishops continually succeeding one an other from the beginning, so as that first Bishop have some one of the Apostles, or of the Apostolic men for his Author, and Predecessor. For by this way the Apostolic Churches show what reputation they be of. As the Church of Smyrnae telleth us of Polycarp by John the Apostle placed there. The Church of the Romans telleth us of Clement ordained by Peter.2 S. Augustine having reckoned up in order the Bishops of Rome to An astasius Successor to Siricius, who was the Eight and thirtieth after Peter, saith that in all that Number and roll of Bishops there is not found One, that was a Donatist: and thereof he concludeth, Ergo, the Donatists be not Catholics. So after that we have reckoned all the Bishops of Salisbury from Bishop Capon upward, we shall come at length in respect of Doctrine and Orders to S. Augustine the Apostle of the English, who was made Bishop by Gregory, and from Gregory upward to S. Peter. And in all that rue of Bishops* we shall find never a one that believed, as M. Jewel believeth. Ergo, your Zwinglian and Caluinian Belief, M. Jewel, and of the rest of your fellows is not Catholic.
