Peter the Apostle in euery age and hundred yeares vntill these dayes beene practised and continued here without interruption in such sence maner meaneinge as wee catholicks of this kingdome with the church of Rome now doe professe And here I entreate noe Religious order to take my Title plea and petition for preists and papists as any excluding of their holy labours and deserts which I embrace and reuerence for although I will maintaine for them that monasticall life in England is soe auntient as the dayes of S. Ioseph of Aramathia whoe brought it hither and dyed here with his holy company in that profession yett I finde wee had both preists and Bishops here in and of this nation longe before that tyme and many Catholick Christians of the same Religion wee now professe and soe continued vntill this tyme without the least discontinuance or totall interruption which I dare not to affirme of our Religious men ceasing for an hundred yeares after S.
