I alleged that the Evangelists, and Apostles tarried more in one place then in an other. Which may be easily understanded / not only in that S Paul / preached somewhere years / other where months / in some places weeks / in other not all but in that by certain vocation S. Peter / &c. were more bound to ⟨p. CCCXXXIII⟩1the places where the Jews / then where the Gentiles were: and Saint Paul / and Barnabas had in their general charge / a more straight bond to preach unto the Gentiles / then to the Jews. And albeit the Evangelists he imagineth / are let so lose that they may preach through the realm: yet even in that scope he leaveth them / they have a nearer knot / and further duty off preaching in places of their nativity / abode of friends / and kinsfolk. Therefore if the residence off a Pastor / be no more then the D. plainly setteth down / that he ought to do it especially in that place, and more in that then 2in others: the difference between a Pastor / and them / touching the bond to a place / granted also off the Answ. is clean taken away. Burhe will not answer the former reason / because it cometh out off place. Where forsomuch as preaching in other places / is alleged to be one off the chief causes off non residence: all men see that this arrow was shot at the heart off his cause. And if it had no place here: why did not he carry it to the proper place? how cometh it to pass / that he answereth it not else where? But how vain this excuse is / it appeareth: seeing even in this division / to prove that the Pastors may preach in other places / then in their charges / which is that he refuseth to speak off / as impertinent: he allegeth the example of the Apostles / and Evangelists / and so continueth almost a whole side off repetitions.
I alledged that the Euangelistes, and Apostles taried more in one place then in an other. Which may be easely vnderstanded / not onely in that S Paul / preached somewhere yeares / other where moneths / in some places weeks / in other not all but in that by certein vocation S. Peter / &c. were more bound to ⟨p. CCCXXXIII⟩1the places where the Iewes / then where the Gentils were: and Saint Paul / and Barnabas had in their generall charge / a more streight bond to preach vnto the Gentils / then to the Iewes. And albeit the Euangelistes he imagineth / are let so lose that they may preach through the realm: yet euen in that scope he leueth them / they haue a neerer knot / and further dutie off preaching in places of their natiuitie / abode of freinds / ād kinsfolk. Therfore if the residence off a Pastor / be no more then the D. plainly setteth downe / that he ought to doo it especially in that place, and more in that then
