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.
