Where I assigned a proper note off an Apostle, to be called immediately off God: he setteth him self to confute it / when ⟨p. CCCIIII⟩a little before he had stately confessed / that it is a thing proper unto the Apostles, to be called off God immediately. His first exception is of Matthias, 1which he saith was not so chosen: which is utterly untrue: where he saith also that I confess the same: that is an open untruth. For 2I showed that the election out off those two / was permitted unto lot that thereby the Lord might from heaven / declare whom he would have to be an Apostle. So that the church chose no Apostle / but only chose two off the which one was taken by the Lord / to be an Apostle. His other exception is off Barnabas, which being an Apostle (as he saith) appeareth by the 11. off the Acts, not to have been called immediately: where there is not a word which confirmeth that / and therefore he durst not note the place / whereof he gathered it. Where he saith it can not be proved by the scripture, that he was so called: he beggeth the thing in controversy / not able to answer the reasons alleged. For where he saith / that S. Paul doth not say that he saw Christ to prove that he was an Apostle, but to prove that he was not inferior to other Apostles: he is manifestly confuted both by the words going before / and following after. For having propounded this for his question / am I not an Apostle, 3and not as he saith / am I inferior to any Apostle: he addeth for a reason / have I not seen Christ. And in the next words that follow / if I be not an Apostle unto others, yet I am to you, he declareth that the estate off the question is there / whether he were an Apostle / or no. To that I alleged off the protestants / proving that the Pope can not be Peters successor, because there is no succession into the office off an Apostle: he answereth not.
