Where the D. saith it is the point off a Sophister to strive for ⟨p. CCCCIX⟩1names off things, where there is agreement off the matter: unto the reasons / and examples I alleged to prove / that the very bare 2use off certain names is unlawful / although the things noted by them be not / he answereth not a word. And if those examples be not strong enough / to obtain that at his hands: I would know of him which maketh so small account off names / whether a man which confesseth him self mortal / may be called by the name of Jehovah / &c. The answer to the first proposition is insufficient. I could take exceptions to the examples here alleged / as that thes words I have said you are Gods, are not given unto magistrates that they should be saluted by the name off God / or that one king should be called the God of England / another the god off France (which were not tolerable / and approaching to the pride off Antiochus) but to this end that the authority which they exercise according unto God / might be acknowledged in them: yet I answer generally / that those speeches be therefore lawful / because the Lord in his scripture hath communicated them with men. wherefore if the D. vvill prove that the title off archbishop / proper unto our Saviour Christ / may 3be imparted unto a mortal man: he must show that as the name off God / light off the world / &c. is given unto men in the scripture: so is also the name of Archbishop. which when he shall never do / it is in vain to pretend thes examples. For as it had been an intolerable arrogance for any man / to have ether taken / or given the authority off God unto the sons off Adam / onles he him self had so honoured them: so is it full off presumption / ether to give or take this so high a name / which being the several off our Saviour Christ / was never by no word off his / laid out in common unto any simple man whatsoever.
Wheer the D. saith yt is the poincte off a Sophister to striue for ⟨p. CCCCIX⟩1names off thynges, where there is agreement off the matter: vnto the reasons / and examples I alledged to proue / that the very bare
