Basil you say the great Metropolitan of Cappadocia. I have showed what the word metropolitan signifieth / and how there was not then such a metropolitan as we have now / and as the admonition speaketh against. You play as he which is noted as none of the wisest amongst the merchants / which thought that every ship that approached the haven / was his ship: for so you think that wheresoever you read metropolitan or archbishop / forthwith you think there is your metropolitan or your archbishop / whereas it shall appear / that besides the name / they are no more like then a bishop with us / is like a minister.

Basile you say the greate Metropolitane of Cappadocia. I haue shewed what the worde metropolitane signifieth / and howe there was not then suche a metropolitane as we haue now / and as ye admonition speaketh against. You play as he which is noted as none of the wisest amongst ye marchants / which thought that euery shyp that approched the hauen / was his shippe: for so you thinke that wheresoeuer you reade metropolitane or archbyshop / forthwith you thinke there is your metropolitane or your archbyshop / whereas it shall appeare / that besides the name / they are no more like then a byshop wyth vs / is like a minister.

:502p. 94–95

I can not tell whether you would abuse your reader here / with the fallacy of the accent / because this word (Great) is so placed between Basil and metropolitan / that it may be as well referred to the metropolitan / as to Basil / ⟨p. 95⟩and so you having put no comma, it seemeth you had as l•eve have your reader read great metropolitan / as great Basil. But that the simpler sort be not deceived thereby / it is not out of the way to let the reader understand / what a great metropolitan this was / which * appeareth / for that when he was threatened by the ¹magistrate / confiscation of his goods / answered / that he was not afraid of the threatenings / and that all his goods were a very few books / and an old gown / such were then those Metropolitans / under whose shadows M. Doctor goeth about to shroud all this pomp / and princely magnificence of our archbishops.
