Elijah, as Chrysostom saith, was Head of the Prophets: Ergo, He was Head of the inferior people: And so of the whole Universal Church.
Elias, as Chrysostome saith, was Head of the Prophetes: Ergo, He was Head of the inferiour people: And so of the whole Vniuersal Church.
But the error hereof will better appear by that argument, that The mistocles the governor of Athens sometimes made of him self, his wife, & his child. Thus he said:
But the errour hereof wil better appeare by that argument, that The mistocles the gouernour of Athens sometimes made of him selfe, his wife, & his childe. Thus he saide:
The people of Athens is ruled by me: I am ruled by my wife: My wife is ruled by my child: Ergo, The people of Athens is ruled by my Child.
The people of Athens is ruled by mee: I am ruled by my wife: My wife is ruled by my childe: Ergo, The people of Athens is ruled by my Childe.
In this Reason, this one word, Rule, hath three significations. For Themistocles ruled, as a Governor: His wife, as a Shrew: his Child, as a wanton. And therein standeth the error of the argument. So likewise this word, Head, signifieth sometime the chief in learning: sometime the chief in dignity: sometime the chief in Government. And hereof also in reasoning riseth great error. For it were great folly to reason thus: Paul in learning, and dignity was the Head of all others: Ergo, He was the Head in Government over all others.
