Higinus / or as some think Pelagius (I speak here as Platina reporteth ¹not thinking that in Higinus time / there was any Metropolitan) ordained that no Metropolitan should condemn any bishop / onles the matter were first both hard and discussed by the bishops of that province / at what time / ⟨p. 123⟩and after a great while / a bishop was the same we call a minister. Now the archbishop will without any further assistance or discussion by others suspend him / and in the end also throw him out of his charge / and if he have the same authority over a bishop / as a bishop over the minister (as it is said) he may do the like unto him also.

Higinus / or as some thincke Pelagius (I speake heere as Platina reporteth ¹not thincking that in Higinus time / there was any Metropolitane) ordained that no Metropolitane should condemne any byshop / onles the matter were first bothe harde and discussed by the byshoppes of that prouince / at what time / ⟨p. 123⟩and after a great while / a bishop was the same we cal a minister. Now the archbyshop will wythout any further assistance or discussion by others suspend hym / and in the ende also throwe him oute of hys charge / and if he haue the same authority ouer a byshop / as a byshop ouer the minister (as it is sayd) he may do the like vnto hym also.

The council of Antioch ordained / that if the voices of the bishops were ¹even / and that if half did condemn him / and half clear him / that then the metropolitan bishop should call of the next province some other bishops / which should make an end of the controversy. Whereby appeareth that the Metropolitan had so small authority and power over and above the rest / that he had not so much as the casting voice / when both sides were even / and therefore it appeareth / that besides the names of metropolitan / there was little or no resemblance between those that were then / and those which be now.
