Five disputations of church-government and worship

Sect. 3. And 2. They maintained that the Protestant Churches that had no Bishops were true Churches, and their Ministers true Ministers, and so of their administrations. This was so common with them that I do not think a dissenting vote can be found, from the first Reformation, till about the preparations for the Spanish match or little before.

Sect. 4. I have in my Christian Concord cited at large the words of many, and the places of the writings of more, as 1. Dr. Field, ⟨p. 179⟩2. Bishop Downam, 3. Bishop Jewel, 4. Saravia, 5. Bishop Alley, 6. Bishop Pilkinton, 7. Bishop Bridges, 8. Bishop Bilson, 9. Alexander Nowel, 10. Grotius (their friend then) 11, Mr. Chysenhal, 12. The Lord Digby, 13. Bishop Davenant, 14. Bishop Prideaux, 15. Bishop Andrews, 16. Chillingworth, 17. (To which I now add) Bishop Brom•all ▪ (of Schism) 18. Dr. Fern, 19. Dr. Steward (in his answer to Fountains letter (these of the later, or present sort) 20. And Bishop Usher (whose judgement of it is lately published by Dr. Bernard at his own desire) 21. And Mr. Mason (in a Book of of purpose for justification of the Reformed Churches) hath largely pleaded this cause. 22. And Dr. Bernard saith that Dr. Overall was judged not only to consent to that Book, but to have a hand in it. 23. And no wonder when even Bancroft himself (the violentest of all the enemies of them called Puritans in those times) is said by Spotswood (there recited by Dr. Bernard) to be of the same mind, and to give it as his judgement, that the Scotch Ministers (then to be Consecrated Bishops) were not to be reordained, because the Ordination of Presbyters was valid.
