For though those Greeks, who this day profess Religion, and the name of Christ, have many things corrupted amongest them, yet hold they still a great number of those things, which they received from the Apostles. They have neither Private Masses, nor mangled Sacraments, nor Purgatories, nor Pardons. And as for the titles of High Bishops, and those glorious names, they esteem them so, as whosoever he were, that would take upon him the same, and would be called, either Universal Bishop, or the Head of the Universal Church, they make no doubt, to call such a one, both a passing proud man, and a man, that worketh despite against all the other Bishops his Brethren, and a plain Heretic.
