And in the. 207. page unto the middest of the 214. page / this matter is again handled / where first M. Doctor would draw the place of Galatians the second / to prove an archbishop / and that by a false translation / for hoi dokountes / which is (they that seemed or appeared) he hath translated (they ye are the chief) & although the place of the Galatians may be thought of some not so pregnant / nor so full against the archbishop / yet all must needs confess / that it maketh more against him then for him. For S. Pauls purpose is to prove there / that he was not inferior to any of the Apostles / & bringeth one argument thereof / that he had not his gospel from them / but from Christ immediately / & therefore if the apostles that were esteemed most of / and supposed by the Galatians & others to be ⟨p. 129⟩the chief / had no superiority over S. Paul / but were equal with him / it followeth that there was none that had rule over the rest. And if there needed no one of the Apostles to be ruler over the rest / there seemeth to be no need / that one bishop should rule over the rest. But that I run not back to that I have handled before / I will not here so much urge the place / as I will not do also that of the Hebrews which followeth / and yet the argument is stronger / then that M. Doctor could answer. For if the writer to the Hebrews / do prove our saviour Christs vocation to be just and lawful / because his calling was contained in the scriptures / as appeareth in the 5. and 6. verse / then it followeth that the calling of the archbishop which is not comprehended there / is neither just nor lawful. For that no man (saith the apostle) taketh that honour unto him self / but he that is called of God. &c. But I say / having before sufficiently spoken of the reasons which overthrow the archbishop / I will let pass these and other places / answering only that which M. Doctor bringeth for the establishment of them. He saith therefore afterward / that although one man be not able to be bishop over all the church / yet he may be bishop over a whole diocese / or of a province.

And in the. 207. page vnto the middest of the 214. page / thys matter is agayne handled / where first M. Doctor would draw the place of Galathians the second / to proue an archbyshop / and that by a false translation / for hoi dokountes / which is (they that seemed or appeared) he hath translated (they ye are the cheefe) & although the place of the Galathians may be thought of some not so pregnant / nor so full agaynst the archbyshop / yet all must needes confesse / that it maketh more against him then for him. For S. Paules purpose is to proue there / that he was not inferioure to any of the Apostles / & bringeth one argument thereof / that he had not his gospel from them / but from Christ immediatly / & therfore if the apostles that were estemed most of / and supposed by the Galathians & others to be
