Unto the next divis. he answereth not. For it being plain that the Apostles taught / that a bishop and elder were all one: because he had nothing to answer / he leaveth that / and runneth back to that handled in the beginning / off the equality off ministers. As for the testimony out of Zuinglius: first it is untrue / that the Anabaptists object this place against Zuinglius, which I have pressed him with: secondly / it is untrue that they objected unto him in the like case which we do. for in all their controversies with him / they have not one of those points now debated. And where he saith / Tertullians words serve not / because thes degrees are not against the truth: let him deny if he dare / that this is the truth off God / that a Bishop / and an other minister off the word / be all one. Then let him answer whether thes sayings (a bishop / and an other minister off the word are all one: a bishop / and an other minister off the word be not all one) be opposed / and set one against an other. If he can deny none off these / then it is justly concluded: that this invention off man / which hath made a bishop to differ from another minister off the word / is against the truth.
