Unto the place of the second Epistle to the Corinthians / and. 8. chapter / you ask what maketh that to the election of the ministers / but why do not you say here / as you did in the other place that the apostle meaneth nothing else but the putting on of the hands of them which ordained / for the same word cheirotonetheis is here used / that was there / and this place doth manifestly and without all contradiction convince your vain signification that you make of it in the other place / and the untruth / saying that the scripture useth this word ⟨p. 47⟩for a solemn manner of ordering ministers by putting on of hands. For here it is said that he that was joined with Paul / was cheirotonetheis by the church / and it is manifest that the imposition of hands was not by the church & people / but by the elders and ministers / as it appeareth in s. Paul to Timothy.¹
