The moderation of their authority in the ancient times may appear / first by a Canon which is falsely given to the apostles / being as it is like a Canon of the council of Antioch / wherein although it ordaineth one primate in every nation ¹over the rest / and will not suffer any great matter to be done without him / as also will not suffer him to do any thing without the rest / yet every B. might do that / which appertained unto his own parish / without him / and he nothing to do with him in it. But as it seemeth / the meaning of the Canon was / that if there were any weighty matter to be concluded for all the churches in the nation / then the bishops of every parish should not enterprise any thing without calling him to counsel. Now we see that the archb. meddleth with that which every bishop doth in his own diocese / and hath his visitations for that purpose / & will take any matter out of their hands / concludeth also of divers matters / never making the bishops once privy to his doings.

The moderation of their authority in the auncient times may appeare / first by a Canon whych is falsly geuen to the apostles / being as it is like a Canon of the councell of Antioche / wherin although it ordaineth one primate in euery nation ¹ouer the rest / and will not suffer any great matter to be done wythout him / as also will not suffer him to do any thing wythout the rest / yet euery B. might do that / whych appertained vnto hys own parish / wythout hym / and he nothing to do wyth hym in it. But as it seemeth / the meaning of the Canon was / that if there were any waighty matter to be concluded for all the churches in the natiō / then the byshops of euery parish should not enterprise any thing without calling hym to counsell. Now we see that the archb. medleth with that whych euery byshop doth in hys owne diocese / and hath hys visitations for that purpose / & will take any matter out of their hands / concludeth also of diuers matters / neuer making the byshops once priuy to hys doings.
