In the same council of Carthage / it was decreed / that no bishop sitting ¹in any place / should suffer any minister or elder to stand. Now I will report me to themselves how this is kept / and to the pore ministers which have to do with them / and come before them.

The bishops in times past had no tail nor train of men after them / and thought it a slander to the gospel to have a number of men before and behind them. And therefore is Paulus Sam of atenus noted as one that brought religion ¹into hatred / and as one that seemed to take delight rather to be a captain of two hundred / then a bishop / because he had gotten him a sort of serving men to weight on him. An other example not unlike and likewise reprehended is in Ruffine of one Gregory a bishop. Now in our days it is thought a commendation ²to the bishop / a credit to the gospel / if a bishop have 30. 40. 60. or moe waiting of him / some before some behind / whereof three parts of them (set apart the carrying of a dish unto the table) have no honest or profitable calling to occupy themselves in two hours of the day / to the filling of the church and common wealth also with all kind of disorders and greater incommodities / then I mind to speak of / because it is not my purpose.
