Bishop Jewels Answer.

I See not what you would conclude: Perhaps you will say, they had not the names of Pope, or Arch-Bishop: So had they not this name Episcopus in all Moses Law: yet were not all Priests of like aunciency in government. They had other names that were equivalent with Archbishops; as Principes Synagogae, Principes Sanctuarii, Principes familiarum Leviticarum, Principes familiarum Sacerdotalium, Principes Sacerdotum, Principes domus Dei, Pontifex, Summus Pontifex, Summus Sacerdos. Therefore the negative reason is but weak.

Again, whereas it is said, that to the perfection of the Synagogue, there wanted nothing: it may be answered, that to the perfection thereof, there wanted many things, as it is known and confessed. And as the Synagogue had not the names of Pope & Arch Bishop; so had it not the name of Apostle, or Evangelist.
