But that he liketh not of those dominations and large jurisdictions or at all of the bishops or archbishops / which we have now / it may appear plainly enough / both in that place / when as he will have his words drawn to no other then the old bishops / shutting out thereby the bishops that now are / as also in other places / and namely upon the Philippians / where (reasoning against ¹this distinction between pastor and bishop / and showing that giving the name of bishop to one man only in a church / was the occasion why he afterward usurped domination over the rest) he saith after this sort: In deed I grant (saith he) as the dispositions and manners of men are / order can not stand amongst the ministers of the word / unless one be over the rest / I mean (saith he) of every several and singular body / not of a whole province / much less of the whole world.

But that he lyketh not of those dominations and large iurisdictions or at all of the byshoppes or archbyshops / which we haue now / it may appeare playnly enough / both in that place / when as he will haue hys wordes drawen to no other then the olde byshoppes / shutting out thereby the byshoppes that now are / as also in other places / and namely vpon the Philippians / where (reasoning agaynst ¹thys distinction betwene pastor and byshop / and shewing that geuing the name of byshop to one man only in a church / was the occasion why he afterward vsurped domynation ouer the rest) he sayth after thys sort: In deede I graunt (sayth he) as the dispositions and manners of men are / order can not stande amongst the mynisters of the woorde / vnlesse one be ouer the rest / I meane (sayth he) of euery seuerall and singuler body / not of a whole prouince / much lesse of the whole worlde.

Now if you will needs have M. Calvins archbishop / you must not have him neither over a province nor diocese / but only over one singular and particular congregation. How much better therefore were it for you to seek some other shelter against the storm then master Calvins / which will not suffer you by any means to cover your self under his wings / but thrusteth you out always as soon as you enter upon him forcibly.
