And as for the Bishop of Rome, who now calleth all matters before him self alone, except he do his duty, as he ought to do, except he minister the Sacraments, except he instruct the People, except he warn them and teach them, we say that he ought not of right once to be called a Bishop, or so much as an Elder. For a Bishop, as saith Augustine, is a name of labour, and not of Honour: that the man, that seeketh to have Preeminence, and not to profit, may understand, him self to be no Bishop.
