This passeth all the divinity that ever I red / that there are now Apostles / and Evangelists / and Prophets. You shall assuredly do marvels if you prove that / as you say you will / if any deny it / I deny it / prove you it. And that you may have some thing to do more / then peradventure you thought of / when you wrote these words / I will show you my reasons why I think there ought to be none / nor can be none / unless they have wonderful and extraordinary callings. It must first be understanded / that the signification of this word Apostle / when it is properly taken / extendeth it self not only to all the ministers of God being sent of God / but to the ambassador of any Prince or Noble man / or that is sent of any public authority / and is used of the scripture by the trope of Synecdoche for the twelve / that our saviour Christ appointed to go throughout all the world / to preach the gospel / unto the which number was added S. Paul and as some think Barnabas / which are severed from all other ministers of the gospel by these notes.
THys passeth all the diuinitie that euer I red / that there are now Apostles / and Euangelistes / and Prophetes. You shall assuredly doe maruelles if you proue that / as you say you will / if any denye it / I denye it / proue you it. And that you may haue some thing to doe more / then peraduenture you thoughte of / when you wrote these words / I will shew you my reasons why I thinke there ought to be none / nor can be none / vnles they haue wonderfull and extraordinarie callings. It must first be vnderstanded / that the signification of thys worde Apostle / when it is properly taken / extendeth it selfe not only to all the ministers of God being sent of God / but to the ambassadoure of any Prince or Noble man / or that is sent of any publike authoritie / and is vsed of the scripture by the trope of Synechdoche for the twelue / that oure sauior Christ appoynted to go throughout all the world / to preache the gospell / vnto the whych number was added S. Paule and as some thinke Barnabas / whych are seuered from all other ministers of the gospell by these notes.
