To that of the restraint of Pastors to their proper flocks, 1he answereth / he wrote not to Pastors only, but to all in general, that have the name off Elders. his reason thereof that Peter saith he was also an elder, is senseless / and hath no manner of taste. I vvill not stick to confess / that S. Peter wrote in those words to other Elders then the Pastors: yet that he wrote to them only / that were tied to particular congregations (which maintaineth the reply) it is manifest by the words alleged out of S. Peter. Wherein if I have brought the right sense / he ought to have rested: else to have confuted the reasons / wherewith that translation is warranted / and the other which he setteth down / removed; and not thus confusedly to make a mash of all. And it availeth him not / to seek corners in the divers interpretation off the place: when as that off the Acts doth in plain / and confessed speech / utter the same that is here debated off.
