Compare 1577 edition: 1 There was another cause also that moued An|selme to doubt of the archbishop of Yorke his mea|ning,The archbi|shop of Yorke refuseth to come vnto Canturbu|rie to be con|secrated. as after it appéered. For being summoned to come and receiue his consecration at Canturburie (as alreadie yee haue heard) through counsell of the canons of Yorke he refused so to doo: bicause they informed him that if he so did, it should be greatlie preiudiciall to the liberties of that sée, whose archbi|shop was of like authoritie in all things vnto the archbishop of Canturburie, so that he was bound onelie to fetch his consecration and benediction at Canturburie, but in no wise to acknowledge anie subiection vnto that sée. ¶ For ye must vnderstand, that there was great stomaching betwixt the clergie of the two prouinces,Looke in the 9. page, and the first columne, of the debate betwéen Tho|mas of Yorke & Lan [...]renke of Cantur|burie.

Quamobrem, quàm periculosum & quàm turpe sit, contra consensum ec [...]lesiae, cui praefici debeo, regimen ipsius inuadere, vestra discretio nouerit. Sed & quàm sormidabile & quàm sit euitandum, sub specie benedictionis maledictio|nem induere, &c: that is;

The cause why my consecration is deferred, which no man liuing would wish to be doone with more speed than I my selfe: those that haue prolonged it, ceasse not to confirme. Wherefore how dangerous and how dishonest it should be for me to inuade the gouernment of that church, which I ought to rule, without cõsent of the same, your discretion rightwell vnderstandeth. Yea and how dreadfull a thing it is, and how much to be auoided to receiue a cursse, vn|der colour of a blessing, &c.
