What truth this devise hath / I am content it be judged of the 1reasons before alleged. my quotation off the Centuries, was easy to find? if you had not help of the table / the time it self would quickly have directed you. it is in the beginning of the chapter which you alleged / so that if you had red any more then served for your turn: you should have found how he affirming / that in those ⟨p. CCCCXCIIII⟩days there were but three principal degrees off the •lergie / bishop / elder / and deacon: allegeth for proof Ambrose. The name off Archbishop out off Sozomen. maketh not against this. considering that he writing about the year 430. calleth Simeon Archbishop / according to the time wherein he wrote / and not wherein Simeon lived. Nether doth the place off Epiphanius (alleged after out of the Centuries) make against this. For albeit the name of Archbishop was in his time / which lived ether in Ambroses time / or somewhat before: yet there is no likelihood that it was then received in the latin churches / seeing none off their writers of those times / once make mention off that name. And it is certain that it being a greek name / was first received in the greek churches / and East parts / or ever it came into the latin / and west.
