When the bishop in every church / or (to speak as the D.) in every diocese, was the Chief / above whom there could not by 1this Ignatius be any higher bishop in earth: I leave it to the readers judgement how absurd the D. is / who saith that Ignatius doth not overthrow his Archbishop. for thereby he affirmeth / that albeit the bishop off the Diocese were the highest bishop that could be upon earth: yet there might be an other higher then he. Also how fond he is in his reason / that for as much as an archbishop is a bishop: therefore Ignatius allowing one, alloweth the other. When it is manifest by his own confession / that Ignatius speaketh off one only sort off bishops / either of one particular church / as the truth ⟨p. DCXXI⟩is: or off one diocese / as he imagineth. So that his argument is / Ignatius alloweth one sort off bishops: therefore the Archbishop. all one as if a man should say / he hath a kind off fish in his moat / therefore a whale fish.
When the bishop in euerie church / or (to speake as the D.) in euerie diocese, was the Cheife / aboue whom there coulde not by 1this Ignatius be any higher bishop in earthe: I leaue yt to the readers iudgement how absurde the D. is / who saith that Ignatius dothe not ouerthrow his Archishop. for therby he affirmeth / that albeit the bishop off the Diocese were the highest bishop that coulde be vpon earthe: yet there might be an other higher then he. Also how fonde he is in his reason / that for as muche as an archbishop is a bishop: therfore Ignatius allowing one, allowethe the other. When yt is manifest by his owne confession / that Ignatius speaketh off one onely sort off bishops / either of one particular church / as the trwthe ⟨p. DCXXI⟩is: or off one diocese / as he imagineth. So that his argument is / Ignatius allowethe one sort off bishops: therfore the Archbishop. all one as if a man should say / he hath a kinde off fishe in his moate / therfore a whale fishe.
