This is strange doctrine / and such as strengtheneth the Anabaptists hands / and savoureth stronger that ways / then any one thing in all the admonition / which is so often condemned of Anabaptism. His first reason to prove it / is that there are examples thereof. When we allege the examples of all the churches of the apostles times / to prove the election of the minister by the church / and in other cases which are general examples approved and executed by the apostles / contrary to no commandment nor institution of God / yea / and as hath been proved according to the commandment of God / M. Doctor giveth us our answer in a word / that examples prove not: now that the question is to make good women's preaching in the church / examples I will not say of all churches / but of no one church / only of a few singular persons / not according to the commandment of the word of God / but clean contrary to the prescript 1word of God / I say / now examples / and such singular examples are good proofs and strong arguments.
