Caluine shoulde so say, for he could not but knowe that these offices haue had continuance in the Churche, at the least, since before the Councell of Nice, for there are these wordes, mos antiquus perduret, &c. and that they were continually affixed to the Bishoprikes of certaine Cities, as Rome, Antioch. &c.
