Speak in good earnest / had the Apostles nothing to do with discipline & order? with what face can you take away the reins of government out of the Apostles hands / and put them in the Archbishops and Archdeacons hands? what a perverseness is this / that the ministries invented by men / should be preferred to all the ministries appointed and commanded of God.
Speake in good earnest / had the Apostles nothing to doe with discipline & order? with what face can you take away the raines of gouernment out of the Apostles hands / and put them in the Archbyshops and Archdeacons hands? what a peruersenesse is thys / that the ministeries inuented by men / should be preferred to all the ministeries appoynted and commaunded of God.
The Apostles forsooth have in common with the Archbishops and Archdeacons the power of ministering of the word and of the sacraments / of binding and losing / and thus far as good as the Archbishops and Archdeacons: But for discipline and order / the Apostles have nothing to do / but herein Archbishops and Archdeacons are above them / and better then they.
The Apostles forsoth haue in common with the Archbyshops and Archdeacons the power of ministring of the worde and of the sacraments / of binding and losyng / and thus farre as good as the Archbyshops and Archdeacons: But for disciplyne and order / the Apostles haue nothing to doe / but herein Archbyshops and Archdeacons are aboue them / and better then they.
Now sir / if I would follow your vain of making so many exclamations / as Oh the impudency / Oh the insolencie / with twenty other such great Ohs / you see I have occasion both here and else where / but I would not gladly declaim / especially when I should dispute / nor make outcries in stead of reasons.
