[vol. 1] with an universal history of the same, wherein is set forth at large the whole race and course of the Church, from the primitive age to these latter times of ours, with the bloody times, horrible troubles, and great persecutions against the true martyrs of Christ, sought and wrought as well by heathen emperors, as now lately practised by Romish prelates, especially in this realm of England and Scotland.

And here cometh in your Solus Episcopus. &c.
And here commeth in your Solus Episcopus. &c.
1Furthermore, the same Gregory speaking of the said Solus, in an other place by, seemeth to declare there what he meaneth by this Solus here, in these words as follow: ut & nulli subesse, & solus omnibus praeesse videretur That is to say: so that he would be subject to none, and would be chieftain to all other alone. &c. And so by this place, may the other place be expounded, ut solus Episcopus sit is, qui solus inter Episcopos praeesse appetat. That is, he that seeketh to be as bishop alone, who alone seeketh to be extolled above other bishops. But to be short in a matter that needeth not many words: he that thus cavilleth upon this place Solus Episcopus in Gregory, must be desired here not to take Solus alone, but join with all the word going before, which is, despectis fratribus, by the which might seem sufficiently declared, what Gregory meant by Solus Episcopus, meaning, that to despise other bishops, & to diminish their honour, to set up his own, & to be subject to none, but to prefer him self inequally before all other, is as much as to be counted bishop alone. And thus much touching this objection.

And so by this place, may the other place be expounded, vt solus Episcopus sit is, qui solus inter Episcopos praeesse appetat. That is, he that seeketh to be as bishop alone, who alone seeketh to be extolled aboue other byshops. But to be short in a matter that needeth not many wordes: he that thus cauilleth vpon this place Solus Episcopus in Gregory, must be desired here not to take Solus alone, but ioyne with all the word going before, which is, despectis fratribus, by the which might seeme sufficiently declared, what Gregory ment by Solus Episcopus, meaning, that to despise other bishops, & to diminish their honor, to set vp his owne, & to be subiect to none, but to preferre him selfe inequally before al other, is as much as to be counted bishop alone. And thus much touching this obiection.
