And so you see your question answered / whereby appeareth they are subjects as other are / and to obey also sometimes / where the commandment is not given upon good grounds. The place of Theodoret cited of M. Bullinger / maketh mention of a golden cope / and that used by bishops of Jerusalem / and sold by Cyril a good bishop / whereby he declared sufficiently his misliking of such garments in the ministry of the sacraments. In the place the which he citeth out of Socrates / there is one Sycinius an Novatian bishop which is said to have worn white apparel / and therefore is reprehended as for to much exquisiteness & fineness of apparel / & the B. of Duresine / in a letter he wrote / allegeth the same place against the surplice. A man would hardly believe that master Bullinger should use these places to prove a distinction of apparel amongst the ministers. We are not ignorant but that a cloak hath been used of the ministers in their service / but that was no several apparel of the ministers / but common to all the Christians / which with change of their religion / changed also their apparel / as appeareth manifestly in Tertullian de pallio.
