^(e)It was counted to them great arrogance / if they preferred themselves to any minister or elder of the church / ours will not take the best ministers of the church as their equals. If therefore archdeacons will have any benefit by the archdeacons of old time / it is meet they should content them selves with that place which they were in.

As for the office of a dean / as it is used with us / it is therefore unlawful / for that he being minister / hath no several charge or congregation appointed wherein he may exercise his ministry / and for that he is ruler / and as it were master of divers other ministers in his college / which likewise have no several charges of congregations: and for that which is most intolerable both he him self oftentimes having a several church or benefice / as they call it / is under the colour of his deaneship / absent from his church / and suffereth also those that are underneath him / to be likewise absent from their churches. And whereas M. Doctor allegeth S. Augustine / to prove this office to be ancient / in deed the name is there found / but besides the name / not one property of that Dean which we have. For Augustine speaking of the monks of those days / sayeth / that the money which they gate with the labour of their hands / they gave to their dean / which did provide them meat and drink / and cloth / and all things necessary for them / so that the monks should not be drawn away from their studies and meditations / through the care of worldly things / so that this dean which he speaketh of / was servant and steward / and cater to the monks / and therefore only called dean / because he was steward and cater to ten monks. Now let it be seen what Augustine's dean / maketh for the dean which is now / and what faith and trust M. Doctor useth / in reciting of the old fathers.
