Whereas I alleged for residence / against those which leaving their proper charges wander in other places / that they 1should not attempt any thing in the ministry, without calling: the Ans. saith / a man is not so called to one place, that he is restrained from doing good in other: which is not the question. For it is not denied but he may do good by prayer / counsel / and writing After be saith / that he constantly believeth that in the moe places he laboureth, the more his service is accepted unto God: and p. 241. that he is a member, and minister off the whole church generally: and pag. 224. wheresoever the preacher may do most good, thither he is called of God. Wherein beside the miracle off making Apostles / he bringeth in other wonders which the Lord him self never wrought: which is / to change a Pastor into an Apostle. And beside that it is directly against the 2order off the scripture / which calleth them bishops off such / and such a particular church / and not off the whole church: against the Canons off the old Councils / which forbade the bishops to go beyond their own bounds / and assigneth that cause off appointing Patriarchs: it is against that him self hath set down / where putting difference between pastors / bishops / and other preachers / he saith / that Pastors, and bishops have their cures limited Whereupon followeth that if they go to other places / they both pass their limits / and destroy the difference assigned off the Answ. between them / and other licensed preachers.
