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 1those twenty are in the tome of the councils / and in those there is no mention of any patriarch / archdeacon / archbishop. Ruffine also remembereth. 22. Canons / 2very little differing from those other twenty / but in length / and in none of those are found any of these names of archbishop / archdeacon / patriarch. And it is as lawful for M. Harding to allege the. 44. canon of the council of Niece / to prove the supremacy of the Pope of Rome / as it is for M. doctor Whitgift / to allege the. 25. 26. 27. to prove the name of archbishop / archdeacon / patriarch: for they are all of one stamp / and have like authority.
There are alledged to proue the names of archbyshops / patriarkes / archdeacons / the. 13. 25. 26. and. 27. Canons of the councel of Nece. For the. 25. 26. 27. there are no such canons of that councell: and although there be a thirtenthe canon / there is no worde of patriarke / or archdeacon / there contained. And I maruell wyth what shame you can thruste vppon vs these counterfaite canons whych come out of the popes minte / yea / and whych are not to be found. Theodoret sayeth / that there are but twentie Canons of the councell of Neece / and 1those twentie are in the tome of the councels / and in those there is no mention of any patriarke / archdeacon / archbishop. Ruffine also remembreth. 22. Canons / 2very little differing from those other twenty / but in lengthe / and in none of those are found any of these names of archbishop / archdeacon / patriarke. And it is as lawfull for M. Harding to alledge the. 44. canon of the coūcell of Nece / to proue the supremacie of the Pope of Rome / as it is for M. doctor Whitgift / to alledge the. 25. 26. 27. to proue the name of archbyshop / archdeacon / patriarke: for they are all of one stampe / and haue lyke authoritie.
