The Interpreter, not without the will and advise of this Defender, hath altered the Sense of the Latin,1 as the Author of the Latin hath altered the words of S. Hierome. For neither speaketh S. Hierome of Bishops in the plural number, neither saith the Latin Apology, that the Bishops be all of like Preeminence, which this Translation hath, but of the same Merit, and of the same Priesthood. With the word Preeminence guilefully shifted into the sentence in place of this word Merit, these false players thought to win the Game. That is, that all Bishops, after the mind of S. Hierome be of like Preeminence, and so that all be of like Power, and authority▪ and none above other.
