—dic mihi, nunquid

Corporibus prosunt? certè nil; dic animisue?

Tantundem, &c.)

My lord, to speake and not offend you, suerlie if you would well consider the dignitie and honor of your calling, you would not willinglie yéeld to suffer this yoke of bondage to be laid vpon your shoulders, for we haue oftentimes heard of a chancellour made an archbi|shop, but neuer an archbishop made a chancellour till now.
