Howsoeuer you wrangle about your formall succession, yet is it cleare to all that haue eyes; that you haue no materiall succession at all, vnlesse you tearme it materiall succession, when lay persons possesse the roomes of lawful Bishops. For I pray you (good sir) who ordered your Bishops and Priests in king Edwardes dayes? Who sent your Ministers that this day preach and minister your sacraments? Can you for shame deny that they were ordered by such as were runnagates from vs in Queene Maries time? All the world knoweth, yee can∣not doe it. And yet must you bee sent by ordinary vocation, or else confesse that you most shamefully vsurpe that holie functi∣on. For as saint Paul saith, How shall they beleeue in him, of whome they haue not heard?* 1.1 And how shall they heare with∣out a preacher? And how shall they preach except they be sent?
