This was a Commandment so incumbent upon Timothy, that his Salvation or miscarrying was concerned in it, as he performed it, and so it is true of all Ministers; but for an Evangelist, the French Church, the Low Countries, Scotland, New-England, [where Mr. Eliot hath more right of Superiority over the Churches of the Indians, than any Prelate in the World, yet would detest your Doctrine] nor any Churches that I know of, own an Evangelist.
As yet then the proof fails. Thus we find in Clemens Epistle to the Corinthians, a Metropolitan Church (forsooth) there is no mention made of any such Prelate. But pag. 2.62, 69. and 73. especially, he mentions only Elders without any distinction. A Bishop being but Primus Presbyter, 1as Ambrose calls him, it may stand with Episcopus Praeses. Thus Polycarpus in his Epistle to the Church in Philippi, another Metropolis, saith Dr. Hammond; there is no mention of any such Prelate, but pag. 18. he exhorts them to be subject to the Elders and Deacons, answering to Paul, Phil. 1.1.
