is constrained / to yield him self to that / which he hath before found fault with. for if nothing ⟨p. LVII⟩may be done in making orders off the church / but according to the general rules off the scripture / and those general rules be commandments: it followeth / that nothing may be done in makings orders for the church / but according to the commandment off God. Which is that which the Adm. did set down.
is constreined / to yelde him selfe to that / which he hathe before founde fault with. for if nothinge ⟨p. LVII⟩may be doone in makinge orders off the churche / but accordinge to the generall rules off the scripture / and those generall rules be commaundementes: it folowethe / that nothinge may be doone in makinges orders for the church / but accordinge to the commaundement off God. Which is that which the Adm. did set downe.
And whereas he would make the reader believe / that we have given back / in that we confess certain orders may be established in the church / which are not expressed in the word off God: I have showed / how the Adm. is very untruly charged with that sentence: there being neither the same / nor the value off those words to be found in it. This therefore being agreed on off both sides: we might have here shut up these controversies / saving that the A. holding this doctrine in words / doth notwithstanding in deed continue the siege against it: in that all those places / which I have alleged for proof off it / he doth by shameful and open corruptions / essay to overthrow.
And wheras he woulde make the reader belieue / that we haue giuen backe / in that we confesse certeine orders may be established in the churche / which are not expressed in the worde off God: I haue shewed / howe the Adm. is very vntruely charged with that sentence: there beinge neither the same / nor the valew off those wordes to be founde in it. This therefore beinge agreed on off bothe sides: we might haue here shut vp these controuersies / sauinge that the A. holdinge this doctrine in wordes / dothe notwithstandinge in deede continue the siedge against it: in that all those places / which I haue alledged for proof off it / he doothe by shamefull and open corruptions / essaye to ouerthowe.
