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.

church-government_n of_o those_o bishop_n of_o old_a as_o our_o modern_a prelate_n themselves_o be_v unlike_o they_o in_o manner_n of_o life_n for_o these_o be_v persecutor_n of_o the_o gospel_n

the_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o this_o case_n be_v whole_o antichristian_a last_o forasmuch_o as_o prelate_n do_v necessary_o draw_v after_o they_o a_o train_n of_o
