There followeth Anacletus / an other of these witnesses / which must depose that the name of an archbishop is not antichristian / of whom / as of Clement that went before / and Anicetus which followeth after / the common proverb may be verified / Ask my fellow if I be a thief. And although the answerer be ashamed of him / and saith therefore he will omit him / yet even very need driveth him / to bring him in / and to make him speak the uttermost he can. And this honest man saith / that James was the first archbishop of Jerusalem. But Eusebius saith / James was bishop / not archbishop of Jerusalem / and appointed by the apostles. And in an other place / he saith / that the apostles did appoint after his death / Simeon the son of Cleophas / bishop of Jerusalem. And Ireneus sayeth / that the apostles in all places appointed bishops ¹unto the churches / whereby it may appear what an idle dream it is of Clement / Volusianus / and Anacletus / either that Peter did this by his own authority / or that the primitive church was ever stains with these ambitious ²titles of patriarch / primate / metropolitan / or archbishop / when as the stories make mention / that thorough out every church / not cherry province / not by Peter or Paul / but by apostles / a bishop / not an archbishop / was appointed.

And although the answerer be ashamed of hym / and sayth therefore he will omit him / yet euen very neede dryueth hym / to bring hym in / and to make hym speake the vttermost hee can. And thys honest man sayth / that Iames was the first archbyshop of Ierusalem. But Eusebius sayth / Iames was byshop / not archbyshop of Ierusalem / and appoynted by the apostles. And in an other place / he sayth / that the apostles dyd appoynt after hys death / Simeon the sonne of Cleophas / byshop of Ierusalem. And Ireneus sayeth / that the apostles in all places appoynted byshops ¹vnto the churches / whereby it may appeare what an idle dreame it is of Clement / Volusianus / and Anacletus / eyther that Peter dyd thys by his owne authoritie / or that the primitiue churche was euer staynes wyth these ambytious
