The name of Universal Bishop,1 which this Interpreter meaneth, being taken in a right sense, is no proud name, in respect of him,* to whom it belongeth. Whether any Bishop of Rome ever suffered himself to be called by that name, of no, as you deny it, and prove it not, so it forceth not whether any did so, or no. If they refused it of humility, that proveth it not to be Unlawful.
The name of Vniuersal Bishop,1 which this Interpreter meaneth, beinge taken in a right sense, is no proude name, in respecte of him,* to whom it belongeth. VVhether any Bishop of Rome euer suffered himselfe to be called by that name, of no, as you denie it, and proue it not, so it forceth not whether any did so, or no. If they refused it of humilitie, that proueth it not to be Vnla•ful.
