Nazianzene complaineth of the number of the Clergy in his time, that they seemed to be moe,1 then the rest of the people. And therefore The Emperor Justinian afterward thought it needful to abridge the number, & to make a law, that in the great Church at Constantinople, where Chrysostom was Bishop, there should not be above the number of threescore Priests: one hundred Deacons: forty women: four score and ten Subdeacons: one hundred and ten Readers, and five & twenty Singers. Hereby we may see, that Chrysostom being at Antioch in so Populous a City, although he had none of the Lay people with him, yet could not be utterly left alone.

Now if we say,1 that some of these Priests, Deacons, or other Communicated with the Bishop, I tell them (saith M. Harding) boldly, and with a solemn countenance, which must needs make good proof, This is but a poor shift, and will not serve their purpose. But if it be true, it is rich enough: if it agree with Chrysostoms own meaning, it is no shift: & therefore sufficiently serveth our purpose.
