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.

There remaineth therefore the archbishop / which if he came in place of the ⟨p. 121⟩Prophets and apostles (as the bishop sayeth) how cometh it to pas / that the bishop sayeth by and by out of the authority of Erasmus / that Titus was an archbishop: for at that time / there was both apostles / prophets / and Evangelists. If it be so therefore / that the archbishop must supply the want of apostles. &c. how cometh it to pas / he waiteth not his time whilst they were dead / but cometh in / like unto one which is borne out of time / and like the untimely and hasty fruit / which is seldom or never wholesome. And for one to come into the apostles or prophets place / requireth the authority of him which ordained the apostles. &c. which is the Lord / and his institution in his word / which is that which we desire to be showed. But hereof I have spoken before at large. The necessity of Deans I do not acknowledge / and I have already spoken of them. Touching Prebendaries / I shall have occasion to speak a word hereafter. For Earls and Dukes / and such like titles of honour / they are civil / neither doth it follow / that because there may new titles or new offices be brought into the civil government / that therefore the same may be attempted in the church. For God hath left a greater liberty in instituting things in the common wealth / then in the church.

There remaineth therfore the archbyshop / whych if he came in place of the ⟨p. 121⟩
