Here is a victory blown with a great and sounding trumpet / that might have been piped with an oaten straw. And if it should be replied again / that M. Doctor hath declared in this / little learning / little reading / and less judgement / there might grow controversies without all fruit. And by and by / in saying that the archbishops beginning is unknown / in stead of a bastard / which some brought into the church / that hid them selves because they were ashamed of the child / he will make us believe that we have a new Melchizedek / without father / without mother / and whose generation is not known / and so concludeth with the place of S. Augustine / as far as he remembereth in the. 118. epistle to January: that the original of them is from the apostles them selves.

Heere is a victory blowne wyth a great and sounding trumpet / that might haue bene piped wyth an oten straw. And if it shuld be replied againe / that M. Doctor hathe declared in thys / little learning / little reading / and les iudgement / there might grow controuersies wythout all frute. And by and by / in saying that ye archbyshops beginning is vnknown / in stead of a bastard / which some brought into the church / that hid them selues because they were ashamed of the childe / he will make vs beleeue that we haue a new Melchisedech / without father / wythout mother / and whose generation is not knowne / and so concludeth wyth the place of S. Augustine / as farre as he remembreth in the. 118. epistle to Ianuarie: that the originall of them is from the apostles them selues.

Here M. Doctor seemeth to seek after some glory of a good memory / as though he had not Augustine by him / when he wrote this sentence. And yet he marvellously forgetteth him self / for he used this place before in his. 23. page / and citeth it there precisely and absolutely / where also I have showed how unadvisedly that sentence of Augustine is approved / & how that thereby a window ⟨p. 98⟩is open to bring in all popery / and whatsoever other corrupt opinions. That the names of Lords / and honour / as they are used in this realm / are not meet to be given to the ministers of the gospel / there hath been spoken before.
