In the. 6. canon mention is made of a metropolitan bishop: what is that to the metropolitan which is now / either to the name / or to the office? of the office it shall appear afterwards. In the name I think there is a great difference / between a metropolitan bishop / & metropolitan of England / or of all England. A Metropolitan bishop was nothing else / but a bishop of that place / which it pleased the Emperor or magistrate to make the chief city of the diocese or shire / and as for this name / it maketh no more difference between bishop and bishop / then when I say a minister of London / and a minister of Nuington. There is no man that is well advised / which will gather of this saying / that there is as great difference in preeminence between those two ministers / as is between London / and Nuington: for his office and preeminence / we shall see hereafter.

There are alleged to prove the names of archbishops / patriarchs / archdeacons / the. 13. 25. 26. and. 27. Canons of the council of Niece. For the. 25. 26. 27. there are no such canons of that council: and although there be a thirteenth canon / there is no word of patriarch / or archdeacon / there contained. And I marvel with what shame you can thrust upon us these counterfeit canons which come out of the popes mint / yea / and which are not to be found. Theodoret sayeth / that there are but twenty Canons of the council of Niece / and
