him to determin matters of doctrine in controuersie: But if any such contention arise, either he determineth the matter according to the law, & rule alreadie by the Church established, or else with the consent of the Prince doth he set an order in the same by a prouinciall and lawfull Synode: in the which he is the chiefe, as some one of the Apostles were in such like assemblies, according to that which I haue before declared: & therfore all this speach might well haue bene spared. Your argument also is faultie in two respectes: first it is Ab authoritate negatiuè, or à non facto ad non ius, which is good Neque in diuinis ne{que} in humanis, neyther in diuine nor in humane matters: Secondly, you go about to conclude an vniuersall doctrine of one particular and singular example: which at no time, nor in any matter is tollerable.
Moreouer it rather iustifyeth my assertion, for it euidently proueth that euerie* 1.2 Parish within it selfe, hath not absolute authoritie to ende controuersies, but that it behoueth them in such weightie matters, to resort to the chiefe Church, as they now did to Ierusalem. This example therefore, if you well consider it, is directly against you: neither doth it in any respect proue, that there was then no chiefe gouernour or guide of the rest, to supplie that place and office which now the Archbishop hath.
