¶ But because I can not speak of all, when I say prelates, I understand bishops, abbots, priors, archdeacons, deans, and other, of such sort, that are now called to this convocation, as I see, to entreat hereof nothing, but of such matters, ⟨image 15⟩as both appertain to the glory of Christ, and to the wealth of the people of England.
