Now I will turne M. Doctors owne argument vpon his head, after this sort. (a) 1.1 In the Apo∣stles times there were (b) schismes & heresies but in their times ther were no archbishops ordeined to appeare them: therfore the best meanes of composing of controuersies and keping concorde, is not* 1.2 by hauing an Archbishop to be ouer a whole Prouince.

Io. Whitgifte.

I will seuerally answere your arguments, that the reader may the better vnder∣stand the pith of them. And first I denie this argument, bicause it is neither in mode* 1.3 nor sigure. For first you must cal to memory, that in the third figure where you wold seeme to place it, the Minor may not be negatiue as yours is. Secondly there is more in the conclusiō then there is in the premisses which is against al rules of sillogismes. If you had concluded according to your former propositions, you shoulde haue sayde thus, Ergo when there are Archbishops there are no schismes. For this is the true con∣clusion of that false sillogisme. Thirdly Minus extremum should be subiectum conclusionis, and in this argument it is praedicatū. Seing therfore that your argument hath no true forme in any respect, I denie it, vntill it be better framed.
