He maketh show of a distinction, betwixt an authentic teacher, and another, what do you call him? to which we cannot say much until he remember to tell us the name, style, and office of that other by-teacher?

Only this, by the way, I would learn: how we can acknowledge and receive any means of religious teaching with faith, except it appear to be appointed by an authentic teacher and lawgiver? And how our Prelates in appointing means of spiritual teaching which Christ appointed not, can be accounted (therein) Ministerial teachers under him as their and our only authentic teacher? As also, if Christ be our Authentic Teacher in all good that we learn about religion, who taught our Prelates such good manners, as to ⟨p. 211⟩put fescues, of their own making, into his hand, and so appoint him after what manner, and by what means he shall teach us? P. Mart. (in Reg. 8. thus disputeth. For as much as God is most wise he needs not our devise for instruments to stir up faith in us which also no tradesman in his kind would endure, ¹but would choose to himself at his own pleasure what he should think most fit. Nay I would be resolved of this doubt: whether this be not a doctrine religious in England: The sign of the cross doeth signify unto us that we should not be ashamed of Christ crucified etc. If it be (as no Conformist can deny) then I would know: whether and where Christ, our only Authentic teacher, doeth teach this doctrine? or if our Prelates may bring in a new doctrine into the Church, and cause Ministers to preach it? He leaveth out of our proof, that Christ is the only appointer of means, as also that those means are limited to admonition of a holy duty: and in stead of our conclusion, he bringeth in another, of ordaining as necessary.
