These things standing in this sort, al those courts of Byshops and Archbyshops must needes fall, which were by Antichrist erected, against this lawfull iurisdiction of eldership, as the court of faculties, and those which are holden by Chauncellours, commissaries, officialls, and such like, the describing of the corruptions whereof, would require a whole booke, of whiche I will note the principall heads and summes.
And not these courts only, but all the courts in England would be deuoured vp of your Seigniorie: yea each the Princes regall authoritie, as may appeare partly by that which is said before, and partly by that which shall follow hereafter. For what iurisdiction will not your Seigniorie vsurp? what matters would it not presume to determine? what degrée of person would it not tread vnder foote? but let vs heare what you say of these courts.
