Musculus in his Common places / in the chap. of the offices of the ministers of the word / saith that in the Apostolic church / the ministers of the word / were none above an other / nor subject to any head / or president / & mislyketh the setting up of any one in higher degree then an other. And further he saith upon the second chap. of the second Epistle to the Thessalonians / that the honour of a bishop / being taken from the rest of the ministers / and given to one / was the first step to the papacy / how so ever in other places he speaketh otherwise.
