Where he saith / there were as haughty names in those times, as off Primate, and for proof provoketh unto the greek copy off that Council off Carthage: there is no advantage in the Greek copy / which only maketh mention off one first amongest the bishops: and he is greatly deceived if he think / that to be first bishop / is as much as to be Prince off Bishops. For the Bishop off Rome in respect of the three other Patrigrckes / was first: yet not their Archbishop / but only had the first place in their meetings. Especially seeing the Council doth flatly forbid / that the first bishop amongest them should be called by that name / but only bishop off the first seat. For that out of master Fox / that thes names Archbishop, &c. are not forbidden by this canon: I refer the reader to his own works / with this remembrance that I have showed in the former book / how Master Fox counteth thes degrees ambitious. As for the name high priest out of Ignatius: if need were it may be showed both by reasons / and authority / that he is not off that auncientie the D. supposeth. Beside that he giveth it not to any one especially / but to all a like.
