M. Fore also expoundeth this of every bishop within his own church ¹or diocese. You hear the judgement of these three writers / that can not pick out neither the name / nor the office of an archbishop out of Cyprian's place / and yet I think you will not deny / but these were learned and godly writers. Now I have showed you three / I ask once again of you one godly and learned writer / that expoundeth it as you do. And by this time I suppose all men understand / what a small friend S. Cyprian is / either to the name or office of an archbishop. Let us hear whether Jerome make any more for the archbishop / then did Cyprian.

M. Fore also expoundeth thys of euery byshop wythin hys owne churche ¹or diocese. You heare the iudgement of these three wryters / that can not picke out neyther the name / nor the office of an archbyshop out of Cyprians place / and yet I thinke you wil not deny / but these were learned and godly wryters. Now I haue shewed you three / I aske once againe of you one godlye and learned wryter / that expoundeth it as you doe. And by thys time I suppose all men vnderstande / what a small friend S. Cyprian is / eyther to the name or office of an archbyshop. Let vs heare whether Ierome make any more for the archbyshop / then did Cyprian.

The Hebrews do derive the name of time of a verb / which signifieth to corrupt / because in deed it doth corrupt all / and as the times are / so are men which live in them / that even very good men carry the note of the infection of the times / wherein they live / and the stream of the corruption thereof / being so vehement and forcible / doth not only drive before it / light things / but it cateth also and weareth the very hard and stony rocks / and therefore there is not to be looked for / such sincerity at Jerome his hand / which we found in S. Cyprian / considering that he lived some ages after Cyprian / what time satan had a great deal more darkened the clear light of the sun of the gospel / then it was in S. Cyprian's time. For as those that came nearest unto the apostles times / because they were nearest the light did see best / so those that were further of from these lights / had / until the time of the manifestation of the son of perdition their heavens more dark and cloudy / and consequently did see more dimly / which is diligently to be observed of the reader / both the better to understand the state of this question / and all other controversies which lie between us and the papists.
