Papa signifieth a father, and was in tymes paste common to all Bishops, but nowe it is proper to the bishop of Rome, and therefore hated for his sake, whome it nowe signifieth. So tyrannus. sometyme signified a king generally, no〈1 line〉〈1 line〉e it signi∣nifyeth* 1.1 a cruell king, and a bloudie gouernoure, and therefore also abhorred. But an Archbishop though the persons at sometime haue degenerated, yet the name hath continued in the same signification, and therfore the reasen is nothing lyke, except you wil also for the lyke cause cōdemne the name of a Bishop, or of a king, for there haue bene many euill men called by the name of bishops; and many tyrants by the name of kings, and yet the names neuer the worsse. If names shoulde be chaunged so ofte as they be abused, some had nede to haue an office only to inuent new names. There was a certaine kinde of heretikes that called themselues Apostolike, and yet the name of an Apostle is neuer the worse. A lawfull name of a lawfull office may remaine together with the office, howesoeuer before tyme it hath bin abused.
