But howsoever it be / it shall appear that the names of chancellors and / chorepiscopos, do not so much differ / as the offices and functions of them. For it appeareth in the same Council and Canon / that they were like the. 70. disciples / that they had also some care to provide for the poor / and that they were such as did minister the sacraments. And in an other Council / they have authority given them to 1make subdeacons / exorcists / and readers. I know this was a corruption of the ministry / but yet all men see / how Master Doctor looketh as it were a far of upon things / and therefore taketh a man for a molehill / when he would make us believe that these were chancellors. &c.

In the. 125. page to the admonition desiring that these may be removed and the eldership established according to Gods order / M. Doctor answereth / that that were to place in stead of wise and discrete men / unlearned / ignorant and unapt to rule. Let Master Doctor take heed / least in allowing so well of the popish ceremonies / not only as tolerable / but as fit / and then acquainting him self with the papists manner of speaking / in saying that the people be ignorant and unlearned / he fall or over he be aware into some worse thing. Moses in Deuteronomy /
