BY what name so ever the Bishop of Rome was called within six hundred years after Christs Ascension, this is clear, that his Primacy, that is to say, Supreme power, and authority over and above all Bishops, and chief government of all Christs flock, in matters pertaining to Faith, and Christen Religion, was then 931 acknowledged and confessed. Which thing being so, whether then he were called by either of those names that you deny, or no: it is not of great importance. And yet for the one of them somewhat, and for the other, an infinite number of good authorities may be alleged. But thereof hereafter.
