Again, that you say, A Bishop hath always been Consecrate by other three Bishops, whether it be true, or no, it may well be called in question, as being of your part hitherto very weakly affirmed. Surely Petrus de Palude, one of your own Doctors, 1would have told you thus: In Ecclesia Unus Episcopus suff•cit ad alium Consecrandum: nec est, nisi propter Solennitatem ab Ecclesia inuentum, ut Tres concurrent: In the Church One Bishop is sufficient to Consecrate an other: and it is nothing else, but for the Solemnity of the matter, that the Church hath devised, that Three Bishops should join together. Likewise Johannes Major an other of your own Doctors would have said unto you, 2Quis Ordinavit Petrum? Non dabunt Tres Ordinatores. Dico ergo, esse Constitutionem Humanam, qu•d Episcopus Ordinetur à Tribus. Paulus enim non quaesivit Duos pro Ordination Titi, & Timothei: Who Ordered Peter, and made him Bishop? They cannot show me Three Bishops that ordered him. Therefore I say, that a Bishop be Ordered by other Three Bishops, it is an Ordinance made by Man. For Paul, when he Ordered Titus, and Timotheus, he sought not about for other Two Bishops.
Againe, that you saye, A Bishop hath alwaies benne Consecrate by other thrée Bishoppes, whether it be true, or no, it maye wel be called in question, as beinge of your parte hitherto very weakely affirmed. Surely Petrus de Palude, one of your owne Doctours, 1woulde haue tolde you thus: In Ecclesia Vnus Episcopus suff•cit ad alium Consecrandum: nec est, nisi propter Solennitatem ab Ecclesia inuentum, vt Tres concurrant: In the Churche One Bishop is sufficient to Consecrate an other: and it is nothinge els, but for the Solemnitie of the mater, that the Churche hath diuised, that Three Bishoppes shoulde ioine togeather. Likewise Ioha••es Maior an other of your owne Doctours woulde haue saide vnto you, 2Quis Ordinauit Petrum? Non dabunt Tres Ordinatores. Dico ergo, esse Constitutionem Humanam, qud Episcopus Ordinetur à Tribus. Paulus enim non quaesiuit Duos pro Ordinatione Titi, & Timothei: Who Ordered Peter, and made him Bishop? They cannot shewe me Three Bishoppes that ordered him. Therefore I saie, that a Bishop be Ordered by other Three Bishoppes, it is an Ordinance made by Man. For Paule, when he Ordered Titus, and Timotheus, he sought not aboute for other Twoo Bishoppes.
