The Second Reason.

* 1.1The Synagogue of the Jewes, was a figure of the Church of Christ, and God to the perfection of that Church omitted no∣thing.

Bishop Jewels Answer.

I See not what you would conclude: Perhaps you will say, they had not the names of Pope, or Arch-Bishop: So had they not this name Episcopus in all Mo∣ses Law: yet were not all Priests of like aunciency in governement. They had other names that were equi∣valent with Archbishops; as Principes Synagogae, Prin∣cipes Sanctuarii, Principes familiarum Leviticarum, Prin∣cipes familiarum Sacerdotalium, Principes Sacerdotum, Principes domus Dei, Pontifex, Summus Pontifex, Summus Sacerdos. Therefore the negative reason is but weake.

Againe, whereas it is said, that to the perfection of the Synagogue, there wanted nothing: it may be an∣swered, that to the perfection thereof, there wanted many things, as it is knowne and confessed. And as the Synagogue had not the names of Pope & Arch Bi∣shop; so had it not the name of Apostle, or Evangelist.
