Again / it is to be observed that Jerome sayeth it was so in Alexandria: signifying thereby / that in other churches it was not so. And in deed it may appear in divers places of the ancient fathers / that they confounded priest & bishop / & toke them for all one / as Eusebius out of Ireneus calleth Anicete / Pius / Telesphorus / Higinus / xystus / presbyterous cai prostantas, elders / and presidents. Cyprian confoundeth priest and bishop in the epistles before recited / so ¹doth Ambrose in the place alleged before by M. doctor / and yet it is one thing with us / to be a priest (as M. doctor speaketh) and an other thing to be a bishop.

Againe / it is to be obserued that Ierome sayeth it was so in Alexandria: signifying therby / that in other churches it was not so. And in deede it may appeare in diuers places of the auncient fathers / that they confounded priest & byshop / & toke them for all one / as Eusebius out of Ireneus calleth Anicete / Pius / Telesphorus / Higinus / xystus / presbyterous cai prostantas, elders / and presidents. Cyprian confoundeth priest and byshop in the epistles before recited / so ¹doth Ambrose in the place alledged before by M. doctor / and yet it is one thyng with vs / to be a priest (as M. doctor speaketh) and an other thing to be a bishop.

Jerusalem was a famous church / so was Rome as the apostle witnesseth / so was Antioch and others / where also were great contentions / both in doctrine and otherwise / and yet for avoiding of contention and schism there / there was no one that was ruler of the rest / therefore we ought rather to follow these churches being many / in keeping us to the institution of the apostles / then Alexandria being but one church / and departing from that institution / and if there had been any one set over all the rest in other places / it would have made much for the distinction that Jerome had recited. But against this distinction of s. Jerome / I will use no other reason / than that which Jerome useth in the same epistle to Evagrius. Jerome in that epistle / taketh up very sharply the archd. that he preferred him self before the elder / & the reason is / because by the scripture the deacon is inferior
