where the Conclusion is, that Bellarmine doeth in this argument nugari, nothing but trifle, disjoining things that ought to be conjoined, as if there were a contradiction betwixt these two Propositions: The Apostles ordained; the Churches ordained. If the Rejoinder would have brought a fitting example, he should have showed us, that Paul, or Barnabas, being at Jerusalem, ordained a Minister, and sent him to Antioch, Iconium or Lystra, signifying by letters, that such a man was appointed their Pastor, though they never knew, or heard of him before.

And yet I hope the Rej. himself will not say, that Titus took so much upon him, as this cometh to.
