The examples out off the Acts wherewith he bringeth light 1unto that which he thought / are touched before: and amongest others by the election off the Deacons / which because the D. can not deny / but it was by the church: he hath left it clean forth. and yet most plainly he showeth this by example of an election / which was lately made in the church whereunto he writeth: saying / which we see to have been done with you, in the ordaining off our fellow in office Sabinus: that the bishopric should be given him, by the voice off the whole brother hood and by the judgement off those bishops which were present, and which had written unto you off him, &c.
