Ans. What Reader doth this man presume upon that will not ask him, how he proveth 1. That Gods Law or Charter to his Church doth not require ⟨p. 14⟩them to congregate in distinct single Churches (as London Charter doth to erect several Companies, and the Universities several Colleges?) 2. And that God hath not in his Word given order or command for such single Churches: But that the Apostles and Titus by fixing Elders to their several Churches and Cities, separated from the Universal Church? 3. And that their subordinate Churches have not need of distinct subordinate consent and duty: And that our Diocesan Churches all separate from the Universal? Did he think these things need no proof at all?
