Harding, thus merrily to sport him self with Bishops sitting under Painted Boards, Certainly, I reckon it much fitter for the Church of God, to have Painted Boards, then Painted Bishops, such as he is, that claimeth to be the Bishop of all Bishops: and yet doth not in deed any part of the office of one Bishop.
