For that alleged out off the Centuries / Ambrose was Metropolitan off divers churches joined together: besides that you take that for granted which is in controversy / that is to say that the name of Metropolitan / and Archbishop be all one: you ought to have showed the reasons whereby they say so. For seeing they have not that they wrote by revelation: in a matter of controversy they ought no further to be believed / then they show reason. Otherwise I can oppose also authority which saith in plain words / Ambrose was a bishop not of a whole province, or of 1many cities, but off one only city. whose testimony yet is so much more off credit / then that off the Centuries / as by a nearer sight into Ambros. works which he reviewed / he was better able to give judgement in this matter: then they which occupied in reading off so many / could not perform that diligent in all / which he in that author he especially laboured in.
For that alledged out off the Centuries / Ambrose was Metrapolitane off diuers churches ioined together: besydes that yow take that for graunted which is in cōtrouersy / that is to say that the name of Metrapolitane / and Archbishop be all one: yow owghte to haue shewed the reasons vvherby they say so. For seing they haue not that they vvrote by reuelation: in a matter of controuersie they owghte no further to be belieued / then they shew reason. Otherwise I can oppose also autoritie which saith in plaine wordes / Ambrose vvas a bishop not of a vvhole prouince, or of 1many cyties, but off one onely citie. whose testomony yet is so muche more off credyt / then that off the Centuries / as by a neerer sighte into Ambros. workes which he reuewed / he was better able to giue iudgement in this matter: then they vvhich occupied in reading off so many / could not performe that diligente in all / vvhich he in that autor he especially laboured in.
