Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
The words thereof are plain enough. The sense is this. The whole Body of Christendom was divided into four Patriarkshippes: whereof the First was Rome: the Second Alexandria: the Third Antioch: the Fourth Jerusalem. And each of these was limited, and bounded within it self: Alexandria, to have the oversight over Egypt, & Pentapolis: Antioch, over Syria: Jerusalem, over Jury: Rome,1 over Italy, and other Churches of the West. And herein we have the Exposition of Theodorus Balsamon, that lived five hundred years ago, and was Patriarch of Antioch, and, as some of M. Hardinges trends have thought, a man of great Learning. Yet for as much as M. Harding here utterly refuseth him, not only as a Schismatic, but also as a man both of Learning, and Reason, let us therefore see some others.
