That M. Bucer is wholly for us in this point: I refer the reader 1to that abefore written. The place alleged here would have made little for him: if he had not kept his custom. For where Bucer speaketh off obedience to be given by the bishops to the metropolitan: he hath left out these words after their manner. By which conning / he may prove the Ethiopian affair: man because he hath white teeth. For all see: that M. Bucer by these words / delayed the authority off the metropolitanship. And if they were not plain enough: yet others in the same place are. that the patriarchs were set over the metropolitans, as they 3over the bisho▪ but that nether, could do any thing save only admonish those over whom they were set: and if they obeyed not, to complain of them to the synod. After he condemneth / that the Patriarchs toke unto them the ordination off the bishops nigh them: and by means thereof, by little and little gat some jurisdiction over those bishops, and their churches.

Bucer: it is only / that where we affirm it good / that the presidentship should be chosen at every meeting / as that which cometh nearer the apostles example / and more safe against Tyranny: M▪ Bucer may seem to make it a standing and continual office / set •• in one man. For as touching his authority / wherein the chief point off the controversy lieth: it findeth as small grace with M: Bucer / as with us.
