As for Eustathius his deprivation / because he did not wear apparel meet for a minister / it maketh not to this purpose one whit. For I have showed that if any minister go like a ruffian or swash buckler / or in the bravery of a courtier / that it is meet he should be punished according to the quantity of the fault. And that it is so to be understanded / it appeareth manifestly by the council of Gangris / which did therefore confirm the same deposing / because he ware a stranger apparel / & the habit of a Philosopher / & caused all his fellows to do so. Therefore I marvel what you mean to allege this place. It is also alleged of * Nicephorus 1/ in neither of the places there is any Eustathius / the son of Eustathius / but of Eulabius / or as Nicephorus readeth Eulalius. And therefore your conclusion is both untrue & uncertain / that since the Apostles times there hath been a distinct & several apparel of the ministers from the rest. The matter lieth not in that whether these things were first muented by papists / or being devised of others / were after taken by the papists / but the matter standeth in this / that they have been used of the papists as notes & marks and sacraments of their abominations.
As for Eustathius his depriuation / because he did not weare apparel meete for a minister / it maketh not to this purpose one whit. For I haue shewed that if any minister go like a ruffian or swashe buckler / or in the brauerie of a courtier / that it is meete he should be punished according to the quaintitie of the fault. And that it is so to be vnderstāded / it appeareth manifestly by the councell of Gangris / which did therfore confirme the same deposing / because he ware a stranger apparell / & the habite of a Philosopher / & caused all his fellowes to do so. Therfore I maruell what you meane to alledge this place. It is also alledged of * Nicephorus 1/ in neither of ye places there is any Eustathius / ye sonne of Eustathius / but of Eulabius / or as Nicephorus readeth Eulalius. And therfore your conclusion is both vntrue & vncertaine / that since the Apostles times there hath bene a distinct & seuerall apparell of the ministers from the rest. The matter lyeth not in that whether these things were first muented by papistes / or being deuised of others / were after taken by the papists / but ye matter standeth in this / that they haue bene vsed of the papists as notes & markes and sacraments of their abhominations.
