A10190	Lord bishops, none of the Lords bishops. Or A short discourse, wherin is proved that prelaticall jurisdiction, is not of divine institution, but forbidden by Christ himselfe, as heathenish, and branded by his apostles for antichristian wherin also sundry notable passages of the Arch-Prelate of Canterbury in his late booke, intituled, A relation of a conference, &c. are by the way met withall.

the_o prelate_n a_o *_o lbid._n little_a after_o confess_v that_o one_o of_o these_o visible_a judge_n archbishop_n and_o bishop_n be_v infallible_a therefore_o christ_n leave_v no_o such_o judge_n and_o when_o he_o go_v into_o heaven_n there_o be_v no_o prelate_n extant_a nor_o yet_o hatch_v and_o therefore_o christ_n can_v be_v so_o much_o as_o think_v much_o less_o believe_v to_o have_v
