¶The aunswere.
Though that wer most true
(as it is most false) yt Bishops
& pristes wer al equal: yet doth
not ye proue yt ther is noheed of
the church. Howbeit to answer
to S. Hiero. he in that epistel
doth extolle so highly the office
of a priest, thereby to suppresse
a certayne deacons arrogan∣cye
whych preferred him selfe
to priestes. Writers oft vse for
theyr purpose to do, as a man
that would make a croked rod
streight, doth bend it as farre
the contrarye waye: And so
dydde Sayncte Hierome in
that epistle, where as in other
descriptionPage [unnumbered]
places he both declareth the of¦fice
of a Byshope and ye office
of a prieste to be diuerse (ye one
to be a name of age,* 1.1 the other
of dignity) and also highly set∣teth
fourth the preemynence &
authority of the high Bishope
the head of al: as ye haue in the
32. probatiō, & also in ye answer
to ye first and .44. obiection.
