Ye tell us full often, we are no Bishops: I trow, for that we have not sworn our obedience to the Pope. And therefore ye give the world to understand, we can consecrate no Ministers, we can hold no Synods, we can do nothing. Even so certain your Forefathers in Old times told S. Paul, 1He was no Apostle: and others afterward by like authority told S. Basil, and S. Hilary, they were no Bishops. But, M. Harding, they were False Apostles, they were Arian Heretics, that so told them. It booteth not, to try our titles before you. We will only say with S. Paul: 2By the Grace of God we are, that we are. And, we trust, we have not his Grace in vain.
