THE EAST CHVRCH.
BArlaam.m 1.1 How absurd is it, and out of rea∣son
to say, that euery one of the Apostles
was a Pastor and common Teacher of the
Vniuersall world, as S. Peter was; and yet
that none of them left any successors, but S Peter one∣ly?
because that if any one of the Apostles hath left for
his successor, eyther Bishoppes or Gouernours of the
Church, wherein any of them finished his dayes, and
yeelded vp his soule to God, vpon what reason com∣mandest
thou that all should be created by the Pope?
Moreouer, if I should affirme now, that the other Apo∣stles
haue left successors behinde them, amongst whom
none was first or last, but all equal and of one selfe same
order: peraduenture you would not beleeue me, but if
I shall bring you here some vnreproueable testimonie,

Denis Areopagite in an Epistle which he wrote to De∣mophilus
a Monke, in these words: Moderate thou then
thy desires, thy anger, thy purposes, as it is conuenient, to the
end that the holy Ministers may haue authority ouer thee,
and the Priests ouer them, and the Bishoppes ouer the Priests,
and the Apostles ouer the Bishops, the Successors of the Apo∣stles:
for if any of them haue committed any fault in his of∣fice,
he may be corrected by them of the same order. This
man liued in the time of the Apostles, and knew exactly the
affaires and businesse of those dayes, which saith, that the suc∣cessors
of the Apostles, are of one equall order and calling.
