The second reply of Thomas CartwrightThe second replie of Thomas Cartwright

Seeing I must needs prove that the crow is black / that is ¹to say / the archbishopric a new ministry / thus it is proved. That which hath divers efficient causes / is an other / and divers: but there are divers efficient causes off the ministry off the archbishop / and those expressed in the word off God. That there are divers efficient causes / is manifest: for that the office off Bishop / Elder / and Deacon being by God him self / the office off the archbishop / was devised / and brought in by man. And although this be proof enough / to them that have their senses exercised in the holy scripture / where in the ministry oftentimes they are called strangers / which have not their offices limited by the ²prescript off Gods word: yet that it may appear how little modesty there is in this strong denial / I will ad others. Whereas a Bishop may be ordained by two / or three other Bishops: the archbishop must be ordained by all the Bishops off the province / ether present / or at the least consenting. Now seeing the ordination is off the form off their ministry / and thes formal causes be divers: it followeth that thes offices must needs be divers. And that the substantial / and essential form of a Bishop / is different from that off the archbishop / it is plain also by that they are members off one division / and therefore off necessity differ in the substantial form: as a man differeth from a brute beast / not in circumstance / but in that he is off an other nature. And when the D. granteth the effects / and works off the archbishop / to be divers from those off the Bishop / the one ruling / the other obeying / and that by oath given and taken: it seemeth very strange / that he should deny that it is a new / and divers office from those appointed in the scripture.

Seing I must needes proue that the crow is blacke / that is ¹to say / tharchbishoprick a new ministerie / thus yt is proued. That which hath diuers efficient cawses / is an other / and diuers: but there are diuers efficient cawses off the ministerie off tharchbishop / and those expressed in the word off God. That there are diuers efficient cawses / is manifest: for that the office off Bishop / Elder / and Deacon being by God him self / the office off tharchbishop / was deuised / and browght in by man. And although this be proof enough / to them that haue their senses exercised in the holy scripture / where in the ministerie oftentimes they are called straungers / which haue not their offices limited by the
