Jerome sayeth / that at the first / a bishop and an Elder (which you call priest) were all one / but afterward through factions / & schisms / it was decreed / that one should rule over the rest. Now I say against this order (that the bishop ⟨p. 104⟩should bear rule over all) that which our saviour Christ saith unto the Pharisees / from the beginning it was not so / and therefore I require that the first order may stand / which was / that a bishop & elder were all one. And if you place so great authority against the institution of God in a mortal man: hear what Tertullian saith unto you.¹

Now I say against this order (that the bishop ⟨p. 104⟩shoulde beare rule ouer all) that which our sauioure Christ sayth vnto the Pharises / from the beginning it was not so / and therefore I require that the first order may stande / which was / that a byshop & elder were all one. And if you place so great authoritie agaynst the institution of God in a mortall man: heare what Tertullian sayth vnto you.¹
