Chap. 3. the. 27. Diuision.
But all this time M. doctor hath forgotten his question, which was to proue an Archbishop, whereas all these testimonies which he alledgeth, make mention onely of a bishop, & therefore this may rather confirme the state of the bishop in this realme, than the Archbishop. But in the answere vnto them it shal appeare, that as there is not in these places so much as the name of an Archbishop mentioned, so except only the name of a Bishop, there shall be founde very little agreement betwene the Bishops in those dayes, and those which are called Bishops in our time, and with vs.
M. Doctor remembreth that the Authours of the Admonition aswell denie the of∣fice of a Bishop, as the office of an Archbishop, and hée is not ignorant, that the proofe of the one is the confirmation of the other, and therefore he vseth suche testimonies as perteyne to them both: of the whiche nature those places be that he hath hither∣to alledged. For you muste vnderstande, that I spake before of the name, and nowe according to my promise I speake of the office, whiche is not so farre distant from the Bishops, but that in moste things they be confounded: But let vs nowe heare how you performe your promise.
