In which degree it is not unproperly spoken / that he had the care off such churches rather then off all.
In which degre yt is not vnproperlie spoken / that he had the care off suche churches rather then off all.
His four notes out off Theodoret / depend upon these words (the same care): so that if it fall out that Chrysostom had not the same rule over Thracia / Asia / &c. which he had over Constantinople: then those words spoken off the government he had in that city / are idle to prove the same in Thracia / &c. But first the D. crieth out of corruption, craft, and either ignorance, or malice. good words Master D. I pray you. For ignorance it is no great matter / I am content you say that I borrowed two greek words off my neighbours. But why corruption, &c? did I not set down words sufficient to confute your untrue dealing / which in stead of care / put down rule? was ⟨p. DCXXIIII⟩I bound to set down more in greek / then you surmised in English? yea could I have set down the word you require / with any sense unto the reader: unless I had set down (as you now) the whole story / and so have given your cause greater colour then your self knew of then? I help you diverse times with arguments which you make much of: but will you bind me to do so always? I have more colour to cry out of you / which to prove 1Chrysostom governor of these places / voluntarily cite Socrates trippingly / winding up in thes words (et caetera) which is your ruin / and which manifestly confuteth the largeness you suppose off the bishop off Constantinople's metropolitaneship. Therefore seeing this bitterness must be vented / you at least should have waited some better opportunity. now let us see whether these words (he had the same care over Thracia, &c that he had over the church off Constantinople) vvill entitle Chrysostom lawfully to as great authority over one / as over the other. For the discussing whereof I must by thy good leave gentle reader / fetch this matter somewhat higher.
