Bishops called him brother, and he them, called him fellow Bishop, & he them. For so doth Cypri∣an call the Bishops of that prouince in hys Epistle, his fellow Bishops, and in diuers places his brethren. And in the sentence which he spake in the Councel of Carthage, he sayth, none of vs doth take him selfe to be Bishop of Bishops.
Io. Whitgifte.
Euery Bishop was chiefe in his owne Prouince, and not subiect to any. The Bi∣shop of Rome had no iurisdictiō ouer the Bishop of Carthage, but they were of equall power and authoritie, as others were also of the like seates. In that Cyprian called the Bishops of his prouince, fellowe Bishops and brethren, he declared that the functiō and ministerie was all one: he like wise vttered his humble minde & spirite. But this proueth not that he had no superioritie ouer them. S. Peter in his first Epist. chap. 5.* 1.1 calleth himselfe fellowe minister with those whom he then exhorted, which were all pastors, and such as were ministers of the worde, and yet you acknowledge an Apo∣stle to be the highest in the Church, & aboue al the other degrées mentioned ad Ephe. 4.
Cyprians words in the Councell of Carthage, I haue spoken of in another place: he meaneth the title of vniuersall Bishop, and suche as séeke tyrannically & vnlaw∣fully to rule, and especially suche as will of necessitie binde all other men to their opi∣nions in all thinges, for his words be: Tyrannico terrore ad obsequendi necessitatem colle∣gas suos adigat: None of vs enforceth his fellowes by tyrannicall feare to the necessitie of obeying.
