I marvel therefore what M. doctor meaneth to be so busy with M. Calvin / and to seek confirmation of his archbishop and bishop at him / which would have shaken at the naming of the one / and trembled at the office of the other / onles it be because he would fain have his plaster where he received his wound / but I dare assure him / that in his garden / he shall never find the herb that will heal him. And because that the scriptures when they make for our cause / receive this answer commonly / that they served but for the apostles times / and M. Calvins authority will weigh nothing as I think with M. Doctor / when he is alleged by us against him / I will send him to the Greek Scholiast / which upon this place of Titus saith after this sort. He would not (speaking of s. Paul) have the whole Isle of Crete / ministered and governed by one / but that every one should have his proper charge and care / for so should Titus have a lighter labour / and the people that are governed / should enjoy greater attendance of the pastor / whilst he that teacheth them / doth not run about the government of many congregations / but attendeth unto one / and garnisheth that.

I maruell therfore what M. doctor meaneth to be so busy wyth M. Caluin / and to seke confirmation of his archbyshop and byshop at him / whych wold haue shaken at the naming of the one / and trembled at the office of the other / onles it be because he would faine haue hys plaister where he receiued hys wound / but I dare assure him / that in his garden / he shall neuer finde the herbe that wil heale him. And because that the scriptures when they make for our cause / receiue this answer commonly / that they serued but for the apostles times / and M. Caluins authority will wey nothing as I thinke wyth M. Doctor / when he is alledged by vs against hym / I wil send hym to the Greke Scholiaste / whych vpon this place of Titus sayth after this sort. He would not (speaking of s. Paule) haue the whole Ile of Crete / ministred and gouerned by one / but that euery one should haue hys proper charge and care / for so should Titus haue a lighter labor / and the people that are gouerned / should enioy greater attendance of the pastor / whilest he that teacheth them / doth not run about the gouernment of many congregations / but attendeth vnto one / and garnisheth that.
