And to say that Peter appointed archbishops and bishops / by the example of the idolaters / is after a sort to make the law to come out of Egypt or Babylon / and not out of Zion or Jerusalem / as the Prophet saith. You say ¹after that / James was an archbishop: if he were / he was the first / and placed over the Jews.

And to say that Peter appoynted archbyshoppes and byshoppes / by the example of the idolaters / is after a sort to make the law to come out of Egypt or Babylon / and not out of Sion or Ierusalem / as the Prophet sayth. You say ¹after that / Iames was an archbyshop: if he were / he was the first / and placed ouer the Iewes.

And although S. Peter might to gain the Gentiles / he content to use their idolatrous functions / with a little change of their names / yet there is none so mad / to think that he would translate any such function from the Gentiles unto the Jews / which were never before accustomed with any such Flamens / or Archiflamines. And this I dare generally and at once say against you and your Clement / that the Lord translated divers things out of the Law / into the Gospel ¹/ as the Presbytery or eldership / excommunication / and the office of Deacons (as it is thought) for that the Sadducees / of whom so often mention is made in the gospel / are thought to have had that office to provide for the poor / for those that know the Hebrew tongue / do understand that tsaddikim and tsedacah, do not only signify justice and just men / but also alms and alms men: I say these and others more translated from the law unto the gospel / but neither you nor your Clement / shall ever be able to show / that the Lord ever translated any thing from Gentilism into the gospel.
