First / for because all those that the scripture calleth precisely Evangelists / (which are only Phillip and Timothy) had their callings confirmed by miracle / ¹and so it is like that Titus / and Silvanus / and Apollos / and if there were any other / had their vocations after the same manner confirmed / but there is no such miraculous confirmation now / therefore there is no such vocation. For albeit those that God hath raised up in those dark times / and overthrows of the church / whereof mention is made before / as M. Luther. &c. had not their •allings always confirmed by direct and manifest miracles of hearing or raising up from the dead: yet the marvellous success and blessing that the Lord gave unto their labours / were sufficient seals unto all men / that although they had no ordinary calling / nor by men / yet they were sent of God? That I speak nothing of the miraculous deliverances that some of them had out of dangers / by warning given of perils by those which were never seen before nor after / and by such like wonderful means / as are to be seen in stories.

First / for because all those that the scripture calleth precisely Euangelists / (which are only Phillip and Timothe) had their callings confirmed by miracle / ¹and so it is like that Titus / and Syluanus / and Apollos / and if there were any other / had their vocations after the same manner confirmed / but there is no such miraculous confirmation nowe / therfore there is no suche vocation. For allbeit those that God hathe raised vp in those darke times / and ouerthrowes of the church / wherof mētion is made before / as M. Luther. &c. had not their •allings alwayes confirmed by direct and manifest miracles of hearing or raising vp from the deade: yet the maruellous succes and blessing that the Lord gaue vnto their labors / were sufficient seales vnto all men / that althoughe they had no ordinarie calling / nor by men / yet they were sent of God? That I speake nothing of the miraculous deliuerances that some of them had out of dangers / by warning geuen of pearils by those whych were neuer seene before nor after / and by such like wonderfull meanes / as are to be seene in stories.
