The Answer.

IN regard the Soveraignty of the Eldest son of Roderic extended o∣ver all Wales, it is not materiall in what part thereof the Ecclesia∣sticall supremacy be seated: for be it in the territory of the third or second brother, it cannot prejudice the Eldest that is Soveraign over all. Your Argument, did I hold it firme, would perswade with me to make Edlstan the youngest son of Eghert to have a soveraignty over his eldest brother Ethelwolph, as being King of Kent, wherein is seated Canterbury, the chiefest Sea for spirituall jurisdiction: or well might I gather that the king of Dyved, in whose Kingdome St. Davids lay, was superior to Cadelh and his successors, by reason of his good neighbour∣hood with the Archbishop.
