The Pharisees when our saviour Christ inveighed against their ambition / accused him that he was no friend to Cesar / and went about to discredit 1him with the civil Magistrate / you shall apply it your self / you will needs make the Archbishop. &c. neighbours unto the civil Magistrates / and yet they almost dwell as far a sunder as Rome and Jerusalem / and as Zion and S. Peters Church there / so that the house of the archbishop may be burnt stick and stone / when not so much as the smoke shall approach the house of the civil magistrate.
The Pharisies when our sauiour Christ inueighed agaynst their ambytion / accused hym that he was no freende to Cesar / and went about to discredite 1hym with the cyuill Magistrate / you shall apply it your selfe / you will needes make the Archbyshoppe. &c. neyghboures vnto the cyuill Magistrates / and yet they almost dwell as farre a sonder as Rome and Ierusalem / and as Syon and S. Peters Church there / so that the house of the archbyshoppe may bee burnt sticke and stone / when not so much as the smoke shall approche the house of the cyuill magistrate.
In the. 116. page / for the authority of the archbishop / is alleged the ninth Canon of the Council of Antioch / which I have before alleged / to prove how far different the authority of the Metropolitan in those times was from that which is now. For there the Council showeth that every Bishop in his Diocese / hath the ordering of all matters within the circuit thereof / and therefore the meaning of the Council to be / that if there be any affairs that touch the whole Church many land / that the Bishops should do nothing without making the Metropolitan privy / as also the Metropolitan might do nothing without making the other Bishops a counsel of that which he attempted / which master Doctor doth clean leave out.
