The second reply of Thomas CartwrightThe second replie of Thomas Cartwright

^dWhere I pressed him with this / that ^eunity is fully maintained by the ministries which God hath ordained▪ he asketh how oft I will allege it. If it be a fault in me / to allege one place often upon divers occasions: what is it in him to allege one thing so continually / upon the same occasion? If he would have opened his eyes / he should have seen that I used an argument proper to this place / and not used before. For where he pretendeth the archbishop was ordained to keep unity: I show that without him / unity is perfectly kept: whereunto he answereth nothing but as before. But I will serve his taste / and give him change.

Whereby appeareth that the apostle took thes ones, to be sufficient to keep the people off God in unity. And if to have an archbishop had been so necessary: the apostle should have foully forgotten him self / having so fit a place to speak of him. And as this is aptly opposed / against the pretended peace by a Pope: so is it likewise / against that surmised to be brought by the archbishop.
