OF these offices some thing hath been spoken before / where it hath been proved out of the words of Christ / that neither the names / nor offices of Archbishop / or Archdeacons do agree to the ministry of the gospel. Now as M. Doctor bestoweth great cost here / and travail in digging about them / and laying (as it were) new earth to their roots / that they being half dead / if it were possible / might be recovered and quickened again / so I (because these trees mount up so high / and spread their boughs and arms so broad / that for the cold shade of them nothing can grow / and thrive by them) will before I come to answer these things that are here alleged / set down certain reasons (as it were instruments) to take away the superfluous lop and spread of these immoderate offices.
