To my other reason / that S. Peter would not graft the most noble plant (as it is counted) off the ministry off the gospel / in the rotten stock off Archflamines: he answereth that Peter might place Archbishops where the Archflamines were, not in respect off them, but in respect off the city. Which distinction I confess I understand not: only I see / that in this cloud / and mist off confused / and undistinct distinction / he would steal away unespied. for if in the same cities only where there were Archflamines (as we are borne in hand) and in place off them Archbishops were placed: and as the Archflamines were set to oversee the flamens / so the Archbishops to oversee the bishops: how can it be but they were placed as well in respect off those Achflamines / as off the cities? For they differ not in this point from Archflam. considering that as archbishops were placed in respect off great cities: so were the Archflam. before them. Here also the Answ. floateth in his judgement ⟨p. CCCCLXX⟩off Peter.
