M. Jewell the bishop of Salisbury expounded this place / and yet did never ¹expound it / of the office and authority of an archbishop of all the bishops / and clergy of the province / but clean contrariwise applieth it to the authority that every bishop had in his diocese / his words are these: Now therefore to draw that thing by violence to one only bishop / that is generally spoken of all bishops / is a guileful fetch to mislead the reader / and no simple nor plain dealing. Here you see that M. Ivel doth not understand this of any archbishop / but of every bishop.

M. Nowel Dean of Paul's / having occasion to speak of this place / saith ¹on this sort. So that when he speaketh (meaning Cyprian) of one bishop / one judge in the church / for the time / or of the bishop which is one / and ruleth the church absolutely / he meaneth every bishop in his own diocese without exception. If he speak specially / he meaneth the bishop of the city or diocese whereof he entreateth / whether it be the bishop of Rome / Carthage / or any other place.
