How should also S. Paul be made to agree with him self, which went the nearest way to work, to ease the churches of charges: if he should have brought into it, such unprofitable burdens as is this order of Ministers of Sacraments, which the D. imagineth, especially seeing a Pastor was needful in every church, who being praesent at the Sacraments, might as commodiously Minister them, as be a receiver only. His reason, that the Apostle would otherwise have said, which laboured in the word and Sacraments, is weak: not only because it is usual unto the scripture, by the chief part to note the whole, but also, for that the Sacraments are contained under the word, and are a visible word, in which respect they are also said to have a voice.

Paul was not sent to baptize, but to preach, when he was called to both, although rather to the one, than to the other, as your self some where have confessed. As for that you would conclude, that Pastors have no more bond to baptize in their churches, then S. Paul had, you might aswell have concluded, that all Pastors are Apostles: considering, that he speaketh that in respect of his Apostleship, whereby he was bound to go from place to place, and not to tarry (as the pastor) in one place.
