12 Neither doth there ensue hereupon any disorder or confusion at all, for it is an other thing not to suffer a mans self to be deceived, and to take upon him the office and charge of teaching in the Church, pretending that all are Prophets or Apostles, or Doctors and teachers, a thing utterly false and intolerable: as appeareth, 1. Cor. 12.29. For the Son of God himself, in as much as he was the minister of God his father, for the preaching of his will unto the nation of the Jews, Rom. 11.18. he thrust not himself in into this charge, Heb. 5.5.
