These are differences enow to constitute a numerical difference of Churches: Paul distinguisheth the Bishops of Philippi, Ephesus▪ &c. from others.
Do you yet see no Privileges that one hath Proper, and not common to all? none that make a difference in specie, but both ••••umerical and gradual. 1. All Churches have not Bishop Jewel, Bishop Andrews, Doctor Stillingfleet, Doctor Sherlock to be their Teachers: Air Churches be not taught all that's in this Resolver. 2. All Churches have not men of the same soundness ⟨p. 8⟩nor excellency of Parts: It was once taken for lawful to account them specially worthy of double honour who laboured in the Word and Doctrine, and to esteem men for their works sake. Paul saith of Timothy, I have no man like minded. If those that heard not a Sermon in many years differed not from your Congregation, why do you preach?
