So that it is manifest that Chrysostom (by his saying) metropolitan off all Asia, and a good part off Europe: must needs have moe under him / then Pope Boniface. What the Pope claimed, is nothing to that I set down: which spake precisely off that he was / and not off that he claimed to be. Therefore if he build upon Chrysostoms supposed metropolitaneship: he doth manifestly allow a larger circuit unto a bishop / then ever any Pope had.
So that yt ys manifest that Chrysostome (by his saying) metropolitane off all Asia, and a good parte off Europe: must needes haue moe vnder him / then Pope Boniface. What the Pope claimed, is nothing to that I set downe: which spake precisely off that he was / and not off that he claimed to be. Therfore if he build vpon Chrysostomes supposed metropolitaneship: he doth manifestly allow a larger circuite vnto a bishop / then euer any Pope had.
If I would have sought to have discredited Chrysostom: I might have answered that it was no marvel / though he exercised such dominion / considering that both Socrates / and Camerarius after him / which commend diverse virtues off his 1affirm him to have been a proud man. But considering that him self opposeth the Emperors large dominion / to a bishops charge in one city: I chose that sense which I set down. Neither are there any words either in Theodoret / or the Centuries / so strong to carry the metropolitaneship over all these places / to Chrysostom: as Nazianzenes words before handled / are to carry 2the metropolitaneship off almost all the churches in the world ⟨p. DCXXVI⟩/ unto Cyprian. For these words he had the same care, can not be understood as the D. would / that he did the same things in all places which he did at Constantinople. For how could he teach / and rebuke sin in all that circuit / as there? deprive and excommunicate in proper person / as there? so that will he nil he / the words must have a restraint in respect off those before. as for the greek word he translateth he governed, which signifieth he adorned: unless he have some singular licence / i is for a translation
