In the council of Antioch it appeareth / that the bishop of the metropolitan ⟨p. 122⟩¹seat / called Synods / & propounded the matters which were to be handled. &c. the archbishop doth not now call Synods / but the Prince doth / for as much as there is no convocation without a parliament / & he doth not propound the matters / and gather the voices / but an other chosen / which is called prolocutor / therefore in the respect that an archb. & metropolitan was first ordained / we have no need of an archb. or metropolitan. Again / an other cause also appeareth there / which was to see that the bishops kept them selves within their own dioceses / and brake not into an others diocese. But first this may be done without an archbishop / and then it is not done of the archb. (him self giving licences unto the wandering ministers to go throughout not so few as a dozen dioceses) therefore the office of an archb. is not necessary in this respect / and if it were / yet it must be other then it is now.

In the councell of Antioche it appeareth / that the byshop of the metropolitane ⟨p. 122⟩¹seate / called Synodes / & propounded the matters whych were to be handled. &c. the archbyshop doth not nowe call Synodes / but the Prince dothe / for as much as there is no conuocation wythout a parliament / & he doth not propound the matters / and gather the voyces / but an other chosen / whych is called prolocutor / therfore in ye respect that an archb. & metropolitane was first ordained / we haue no neede of an archb. or metropolitane. Againe / an other cause also appeareth there / whych was to see that the byshoppes kepte them selues wythin their owne dioceses / and brake not into an others diocese. But first this may be done wythout an archbyshop / and then it is not done of the archb. (hym selfe geuing licences vnto the wandring ministers to go throughout not so few as a dosen dioceses) therefore the office of an archb. is not necessarye in thys respecte / and if it were / yet it must be other then it is nowe.
