Where you say, that according to the Ecclesiastical Canons, ever from the Apostles time, Bishops have evermore been Consecrate by three other Bishops, with the Confirmation of the Bishop of Rome, as if without him no man might be allowed to be a Bishop, ye should not so unadvisedly report so manifest Untruth. For, I beseech you, where be these Ecclesiastical Canons? Who devised them? Who made them? Who gave the Pope that singular Privilege, that no Bishop should be admitted in all the World, but only by him? I remember, your Canonists have saide,1 Papa potest Solo Verbo facere Episcopum: The Pope may make a Bishop only by his Word, without any farther Consecration. And Abbot Panormitane moveth a doubt, whether the Pope by the Fullness of his Power, may deprive all the Bishops in the World at one time. But thus they say, that care not greatly, what they say.
