Your charity hath seen a certain Image of the lord christ,1 •itting on the right hand of the father in glory: yet so, that […] no wise he either forsaketh or neglecteth his Church. Now followeth it more fully and plainly how our Saviour Christ in Heaven executeth the office of the high Bishop, and teacheth the whole church by his ministers, rebu•eth, comforteth, and retaineth it in her duty: Finally tour•eth always away things hurtful, and advanceth it to greater things. For here follow seven Epistles, to the seven Congregations: that is to wit,2 unto all the churches in the •hole world. For this most ample and wholesome doctrine •aye not be restrained to a few, sins Christ is Bishop universal.3
