And as for the answer which the bishop maketh / that in place of apostles / prophets / the gifts of tongues / of healing / and of government / are brought in universities / schools / bishops / and archbishops: for schools and universities / I have showed / they have been always / and therefore can not come in / to supply the room of the apostles and prophets. And whether a man consider the scholars that learn / or the schoolmasters which teach / or the orders appointed for the government of the schools / they shall be found to be rather civill then ecclesiastical: and therefore can not come in stead of any ecclesiastical ministry. If the bishop do mean that they come in place of the gift of tongues / and knowledge of the gospel that was first given miraculously / I grant it / and then it maketh nothing to this question.
And as for the answer whych the byshop maketh / that in place of apostles / prophets / the gifts of tongues / of healing / and of gouernment / are brought in vniuersities / scholes / byshops / and archbyshops: for scholes and vniuersities / I haue shewed / they haue bene alwayes / and therfore can not come in / to supply the roume of the apostles and prophets. And whether a man consider the schollers that learne / or the scholemaisters whych teach / or the orders appoynted for the gouernment of the scholes / they shall be found to be rather ciuill then ecclesiasticall: and therfore can not come in stead of any ecclesiasticall ministery. If the byshop do meane that they come in place of the gift of tongues / and knowledge of the gospell that was first geuen miraculously / I graunt it / and then it maketh nothing to this question.
As for bishops / they can not come in place of apostles or prophets / for as much as they were when the Apostles / Evangelists / and Prophets were: and are one of those ministries / which S. Paul mentioneth in the. 4. to the Ephesians / being the same that is the pastor.
As for byshops / they can not come in place of apostles or prophets / for as much as they were when the Apostles / Euangelists / and Prophets were: and are one of those ministeries / whych S. Paul mentioneth in the. 4. to the Ephesians / being the same that is the pastor.
