Luk. 9. 46.
The text.
And there entred ∴ a cogitation into them, which of them
should be greater.
The note.
Desire of preheminence is an humane infirmitie often euen among
the good. Against which Christ teacheth humilitie, but forbiddeth not
superioritie.
The answer.
Ambition in truth is a disease very common, and good men ve∣ry
often haue béene therewith infected. But for pride, and pre∣heminence
ambiciously sought, and tyrannously kept, the pope
hath no péere, the diuell and great Turke onely excepted. But by
this it appéereth that the Apostles knew not, which of them
Christ had appointed to be greatest.
