Now / that it may appear what great likelihood there is between this Theodoret / and our Lord bishops and archbishops / it is to be considered which he writeth of him self in the Epistle unto Leo / that is / that he having been. 26. years bishop / was known of all that dwelt in those parts / that he had never house of his own / nor field / nor halfpenny / not so much as a place to be buried in / but had willingly contented him self with a poor estate / belike he had a very lean archbishopric. And if the fat morsels of our bishoprics & archbishoprics / were taken & employed to their uses of maintenance of the pore / & of ⟨p. 116⟩the ministers / and of the universities / which are the seed of the ministry / I think the heat of the disputation / and contention for archbishops and bishops / would be cooled.

Now / that it may appeare what great lykelyhoode there is betwene thys Theodoret / and our Lord byshops and archbyshops / it is to be considered which he wryteth of hym selfe in the Epistle vnto Leo / that is / that he hauing bene. 26. yeares byshop / was knowne of all that dwelt in those partes / that he had neuer house of hys owne / nor field / nor halfepennie / not so much as a place to be buryed in / but had willingly contented hym selfe with a poore estate / belyke he had a very leane archbyshoppricke. And if the fat morsels of our byshopprickes & archbishopprickes / were taken & employed to their vses of maintenance of the pore / & of ⟨p. 116⟩the mynisters / and of the vniuersities / which are the seede of the mynisterie / I thincke the heate of the disputation / and contention for archbyshops and bishops / would be cooled.

Now good reader thou hearest what M. Doctor hath been able to take together out of the old fathers / which he saith are so plain in this matter / and yet can show nothing to the purpose. Hear also what he saith out of the writers of our age / all which he saith (except one or two) are of his judgement / and allow well of this distinction of degrees.
