The Argument is without just exception. If not; let somewhat material be objected against it. Will they say? The people is rude, and cannot judge; Thus the Pharisees said of old:1 but did ⟨p. 44⟩our Saviour Christ judge of them so?2 I trow not. And, if it were so, it is not necessary to the election of the Pastor, that all amongst the people should be able to judge, without the helps of those that are more skilful, much less that they should do it perfectly: but they must have so much knowledge as to shun false teachers. Will they say, the people are forbidden to hear false teachers, but not allowed to depose them, & substitute others? Let such know,3 that when they are forbidden to hear them, they are commanded not to be subject to their Ministry, and so in effect warranted to depose them, as Dr. Ames answereth Bellarmine.
