That out off Chrysostom / that certain women were head off the church off Philippos, will not serve: considering that he speaketh not off any chiefdom in power / or authority / but off excellency 1in godliness / and zeal. And the greek word he useth signifying also a sum / needeth not to be taken in signification off head: but that Chrysost. meaning was / that in those women / there was as it were a sum off the church / in whose godly virtues / a man might behold the estate off the whole. Nay it can not but with great violence there signify a head / for then he should have said / they were heads of the church: and not head. And if it should: yet it must be understanded / that head there is to say the chief off the women off that church: which is nothing to purpose. for I am sure it was not Chrysost. mind to prefer them to the Bishops / &c. The cavil also that the magistrate being but a member off the church, is not thereby barred from being head: is unworthy answer / 2seeing it is manifest off what members I spake: and the Bishop off Salisbury speaketh even in the same words.
That owte off Chrysostome / that certeine weomen were head off the churche off Philippos, will not serue: considering that he speaketh not off any cheifdome in powre / or autoritie / but off excellencie 1in godlines / and zeale. And the greek word he vseth signifying also a summe / nedeth not to be taken in signification off head: but that Chrysost. meaninge was / that in those weomē / there was as it were a summe off the church / in whose godly vertues / a man might beholde the estate off the whole. Nay yt can not but with great violence there signifie a head / for then he should haue said / they were heades of the church: and not head. And if it shoulde: yet yt muste be vnderstanded / that head there is to say the cheife off the weomen off that church: which is nothing to purpose. for I am sure yt was not Chrysost. minde to preferre them to the Bishopes / &c. The cauill also that the magistrate being but a member off the church, is not therby barred from being head: is vnworthy answer / 2seing yt is manifest off what members I spake: and the Bishop off Salsbury speaketh euen in the same wordes.
