And it may be showed by example / that they that in a society be equal / yea superior unto any one in that society / are notwithstanding inferior to the whole. Peter / and John were equal / unto any two / in the whole college off the Apostles: and yet they were inferior to the whole company off the Apostles. For being sent 1off them / they must be inferior to those that sent them: and being Ambassadors from them / they received commandment. 2Paul / and Barnabas were by their dignity off Apostleship / superior to any which were in the church off Antioch: and inferior to the whole church / for the cause before alleged. Furthermore / we do not permit the choice off the pastor to the people only / but to the choice off the eldership: so that although the people alone / should not be superior unto the pastor / yet all together are / which have to do in that election.
And it may be shewed by example / that they that in a societie be equall / yea superior vnto any one in that societie / are notwithstanding inferior to the whole. Peter / and Iohn were equall / vnto any two / in the whole colledge off the Apostels: and yet they were inferiour to the whole companie off the Apostels. For beinge sente 1off them / they muste be inferiour to those that sente them: and being Ambassadors from them / they receiued commaundement. 2Paul / and Barnabas were by their dignitie off Apostleship / superior to any whiche were in the churche off Antioche: and inferior to the whole churche / for the cause before alledged. Furthermore / wee doe not permit the choise off the pastor to the people onely / but to the choise off the eldership: so that althoughe the people alone / shoulde not be superior vnto the pastor / yet all together are / which haue to doe in that election.
