like_a manner_n well_o govern_v twenty_o parish_n sure_o a_o archbishop_n may_v well_o govern_v one_o province_n but_o the_o pope_n can_v never_o well_o govern_v the_o whole_a church_n and_o yet_o a_o archbishop_n have_v not_o the_o the_o charge_n of_o government_n over_o the_o whole_a province_n general_o but_o only_o in_o certain_a case_n exempt_v &_o therefore_o may_v do_v it_o more_o easy_o you_o borrow_v these_o argument_n from_o the_o very_a papist_n who_o by_o the_o self_n same_o reason_n go_v about_o to_o prove_v the_o pope_n supremacy_n for_o thus_o they_o argue_v among_o the_o israelite_n there_o be_v one_o high_a priest_n which_o have_v authority_n over_o the_o rest_n therefore_o there_o must_v be_v one_o high_a priest_n which_o be_v the_o pope_n over_o the_o whole_a

and_o say_v the_o servant_n be_v not_o great_a than_o his_o master_n etc_n etc_n he_o arm_v they_o against_o persecution_n and_o will_v they_o to_o look_v for_o affliction_n for_o in_o the_o .15_o

not_o condemn_v superiority_n neither_o yet_o title_n of_o reverence_n but_o require_v humbleness_n of_o spirit_n &_o lowliness_n of_o mind_n in_o all_o degree_n of_o person_n especial_o in_o
