It is manifest that they quote this same place for the selfe same purpose that they do the other: there can be no mist so thicke, that may darken the eyes of men from séeing it, except they séeing will not sée, as you do at this time,
I am glad that you agree with me in the exposition of this place: surely in so doing you must also agrée with me in the exposition of the other. For as Christ héere doth not forbid the names but the arrogant and ambitious desire of them, so doth he not there forbid authoritie and superioritie, but the coueting of it, and ambitious and in∣ordinate desire of the same. And if you well marke the words, Christ doth here much more plainly forbid these names, then he doth thare those offices of superioritie.
If any man doth imitate the Byshop of Romes ambition, either in office or in name, he hathe me as greate an enimie, as he hath you. But in that you passe ouer with silence, these words of mine, these places therefore may be aptly al∣leadged. &c. you séeme eyther to allow my expositions of the other places also, or else you are ashamed of your owne vnfaithful and subtil dealing, which before would haue made your Reader beléeue, that I had misliked all those godly & learned mens iudg∣ments, which vse these places against the Byshop of Rome: it had bin plaine dealing to haue set downe my words in order, as I haue done yours.
