The second reply of Thomas CartwrightThe second replie of Thomas Cartwright

That which he objecteth off Epaphroditus / &c. to be ⟨p. CCXCVI⟩Apostles / such as we speak off: is an absurd begging off that which is in question. Where against the second point he saith / that there is no such thing in the Election off the Pastors, as that in their election, the scripture should be fulfilled, &c. although there be not so particular a word / as off choosing one into Judas place / yet there is a certain rule / in obedience whereof the scripture is daily fulfilled. And so falleth also his other exception / which supposeth that off one example, we make a general rule. Considering that we crave no further help off that example / then the same was compassed by the word off God. The A. granting the distinction ¹off ordinary / and extraordinary Ministries / and yet denying that it can be warranted by the scriptures pursueth his former train / off shrinking the scriptures. Seeing it followeth thereupon / that some truth in Divinity / cannot be warranted by the word off God. The question moved off the Elders / is out off place: the answer whereunto shall be differed / unto the proper treatise. The absurd speeches which he hath here / and in the next Division off Apostles / Evangelists / and Prophets / come to be examined in the answer to his third chap.

That which he obiecteth off Epaphroditus / &c. to be ⟨p. CCXCVI⟩Apostels / suche as we speake off: is an absurd begging off that which is in question. Where against the second point he saith / that there is no suche thing in the Election off the Pastors, as that in their election, the scripture should be fulfilled, &c. allthoughe there be not so particular a worde / as off chusinge one into Iudas place / yet there is a certein rule / in obedience whereoff the scripture is daily fulfylled. And so falleth also his other exception / which supposeth that off one example, we make a generall rule. Considering that we craue no further helpe off that example / then the same was compassed by the worde off God. The A. grauntinge the distinction ¹off ordinarie / and extraordinarie Ministeries / and yet denying that it can be warranted by the scriptures poursueth his former traine / off shrincking the scriptures. Seinge yt followeth thereuppon / that some truthe in Diuinitie / cannot be warranted by the worde off God. The question moued off the Elders / is out off place: the answer whereunto shalbe differred / vnto the proper treatise. The absurd speaches which he hath here / and in the next Diuision off Apostels / Euangelistes / and Prophetes / come to be examined in the answer to his third chap.
