The Ans. conclusion off my reply / touching the place to the Ephes. is evil shut up. For where he saith that the archbishopric 1may stand, because that place reckoning up only the ministries of the word, that is a ministry off order, and policy: how could he forget / that the archbishop meddleth with the ministry of the word? and therefore it was necessary to be here mentioned / if the Apostle had given him any place in the church. If he will say / that he hath not only the ministry off the word / but off order also: the answer is at hand / that so had both the Apostles by his own confession / and all the rest off those ministries / as appeareth afterward. Whether therefore the archbishop be considered in his ministry of the word / or as together with that he holdeth the reigns off government / or as one of the most principal ministries of the church: ether he hath his place here to the Ephes. or not a• all. For both all ministries off the word (to speak as the D.) separate from government / and order / and all occupied in the word / and government jointly / and all principal ministries of off the church / are here reckoned up. Every one then off thes three causes being sufficient / to have made mention of the archbishop: all together put a necessity upon the Apostle to speak off him / if he had been worth the speaking off.
The Ans. conclusion off my replie / touching the place to the Ephes. is euill shut vp. For where he saith that tharchbishoprick 1may stand, becawse that place reckening vp onely the ministeries of the word, that is a ministerie off order, and policie: how could he forget / that tharchbishop medleth with the ministerie of the word? and therfore it was necessarie to be here mentioned / if the Apostle had gyuen hym any place in the church. If he will say / that he hath not onely the mynisterie off the word / but off order also: the answer is at hand / that so had both the Apostles by his owne confession / and all the rest off those ministeries / as appeareth afterward. Whether therfore tharchbishop be considered in his ministerie of the word / or as together with that he holdeth the raignes off gouernement / or as one of the most principall ministeries of the church: ether he hath his place here to the Ephes. or not a• all. For both all ministeries off the word (to speak as the D.) separate from gouernement / and order / and all occupied in the word / and gouernement ioyntly / and all principall ministeries of off the church / are here reckened vp. Euery one then off thes three cawses being sufficient / to haue made mention of tharchbishop: all together put a necessitie vpon the Apostle to speake off him / if he had bene worth the speaking off.
