This is it which we strive about / whereof the controversy is / and this M. doctor taketh for granted. He accuseth the authors of the admonition / for faulting in the petition of the principle / or desiring to have that granted which is denied / & yet I am sure / that in the whole admonition / there is not such a gross ⟨p. 99⟩petition as this is. Where / or in what words doth S. Cyprian speak of the office of an archbishop? And here by the way it is to be observed of the reader / how near a kin the Pope and the archbishop be. For this office is confirmed by the same places / that the popes is / the places and arguments which are brought against him / are solved with the same solutions that they use / which maintain the papacy. For these places of Cyprian be alleged for the popes supremacy / and in deed they make as much for the Pope / as for the archbishop. For / although they be two heads / yet they stand upon one neck / and therefore the reformed churches which cut right / did strike them both of at one blow. In neither of the sentences here alleged out of Cyprian / nor in all his works / as hath been before noted / is there one word of an archbishop / and yet M. doctor sayeth that he speaketh of an archbishop.

Thys is it whych we striue about / wherof the cōtrouersy is / and this M. doctor taketh for graunted. He accuseth the authors of the admonition / for faulting in the petition of the principle / or desiring to haue that graunted whych is denyed / & yet I am sure / that in the whole admonition / there is not such a grosse ⟨p. 99⟩petition as thys is. Where / or in what wordes dothe S. Cyprian speake of the office of an archbyshop? And heere by the way it is to be obserued of the reader / how neare a kin the Pope and the archbishop be. For this office is confirmed by the same places / that the popes is / the places and arguments which are brought againste hym / are soluted wyth the same solutions that they vse / whych maintaine the papacie. For these places of Cyprian be alledged for the popes supremacye / and in deede they make as muche for the Pope / as for the archbyshoppe. For / although they be two heades / yet they stande vpon one necke / and therfore the reformed churches whych cutte right / did strike them bothe of at one blowe. In neyther of the sentences heere alledged out of Cyprian / nor in all his works / as hath bene before noted / is there one worde of an archbyshop / and yet M. doctor sayeth that he speaketh of an archbyshop.
