Here first he trifleth with his reader / whilst he supposeth 1that I ground the function off Elders / upon the 4. off the Ephes. and that I esteem that place a perfect rule of Ecclesiastical functions, when as not only I have no syllable sounding that way: but have declared the contrary / in that by a long discourse in the question off the Archbishop / I have showed that that place is only of the Ministries / occupied in the word. That which he speaketh here off overseeing shepherds / and watchmen / belongeth to the 6. Division where it is repeated. That off one shepherd having many flocks / belongeth to the question off having many benefices. It remaineth to maintain that part off the Division / which setteth down the Doctor off the church / as a several member from a Pastor. Which may appear by that the Apostle placeth them both to the Romans / and Ephes. as divers. 2beside that the gifts differing / whereby those functions are executed / and there being apt to teach / and therefore meet for the office off a Doctor / which have no grace in exhortation / or moving the affections off the hearers / and therefore not so fit to ⟨p. CCXCVI⟩be Pastors: it must follow / that the functions be divers.
Heere first he trifleth with his reader / whilest he supposeth 1that I ground the function off Elders / vpon the 4. off the Ephes. and that Iesteme that place a perfect rule of Ecclesiasticall functions, when as not onely I haue no syllable sounding that way: but haue declared the contrarie / in that by a long discourse in the question off the Archebishop / I haue shewed that that place is onely of the Ministeries / occupied in the worde. That which he speaketh heere off ouerseing shepherdes / and watchmen / belongeth to the 6. Diuision where yt is repeated. That off one shepherd hauing many flockes / belongeth to the question off hauing many benefices. Yt remaineth to mainteine that part off the Diuision / which setteth downe the Doctor off the church / as a seuerall member from a Pastor. Which may appeare by that the Apostle placeth them both to the Romanes / and Ephes. as diuers. 2
