In common wealths also there are conversions / one form being changed into an other / which can not be in the true church of God. As for Erasmus authority which sayeth that Titus was an archbishop / I have answered to it. And whereas Chrysostom sayeth / that the judgement of many bishops was committed to Titus / I have declared in what sort that is to be understanded / and yet upon those words / the bishop can hardly conclude / that which he doth: that Titus had the government of many bishops. For it is one thing to say / the judgement of many was committed unto Titus / and an other thing to say / that he had the government of many.
In common wealths also there are conuersions / one forme being changed into an other / whych can not be in the true church of God. As for Erasmus authoritye whych sayeth that Titus was an archbyshop / I haue answeared to it. And whereas Chrysostome sayeth / that the iudgement of many byshops was committed to Titus / I haue declared in what sorte that is to be vnderstanded / and yet vpon those words / the byshop can hardly conclude / that whych he doth: that Titus had the gouernment of many byshops. For it is one thing to say / the iudgement of many was committed vnto Titus / and an other thyng to say / that he had the gouernement of many.
The answer of the bishop unto the fourth supposed reason / pertaineth unto an other question / that is whether ecclesiastical persons / ought to exercise civil jurisdiction / whereunto I will answer by Gods grace / when I come to speak upon occasion of M. Doctors book of that question. In the mean season I will desire the reader to consider / what weak grounds the archbishop and archdeacon stand upon / seeing that the bishop of Sarum / being so learned a man / and of so great reading / could say no more in their defence / which notwithstanding in the controversies against D. Harding / is so pithy and so plentiful.
The answer of the byshop vnto the fourth supposed reason / pertaineth vnto an other question / that is whether ecclesiasticall persons / ought to exercise ciuil iurisdiction / whervnto I will answer by Gods grace / when I come to speake vpon occasion of M. Doctors boke of that question. In the meane season I wil desire the reader to consider / what weake grounds the archbyshop and archdeacon stand vpon / seeing that the byshop of Sarum / being so learned a man / and of so great reading / coulde say no more in their defence / whych notwythstanding in the controuersies agaynst D. Harding / is so pithy and so plentifull.
