The B. of Salisbury.
The B. of Sarisburie.
It is certain, that the Bishops of Rome, to attain the preeminence, and fullness of power over all the world, letted not to use many ambitious, and importune means, and manifestly to falsify the Canons of the Holy Council of Nice. Sithence which time they have not been idle: but have forged new Canons to this purpose under the name of Clemens, Anacletus, Evaristus, Telesphorus, Higinus, and other Martyrs: and besides have devised other like Canons of their own. The Decretal Epistle, that is abroad under the name of Julius, seemeth to savour of some corruption, both for sundry other causes, and also for that it agreeeth not with the very true Epistle of Julius, which Athanasius allegeth in his Apology:1 and yet ought both these Epistles to be all one without difference. Wherefore we have good cause to think, That all is not Gospel, that cometh from Rome.

The Decretal Epistle, that is abrode vnder the name of Iulius, séemeth to sauour of some corruption, bothe for sundrie other causes, and also for that it agréeeth not with the very true Epistle of Iulius, whiche Athanasius allegeth in his Apologie:1 and yet ought bothe these Epistles to be al one without difference. Wherfore we haue good cause to thinke, That al is not Gospel, that commeth from Rome.
