Pages

The seventh, and last argument Mr B. takes from certayn pro∣perties of true sheepheards, layd down, Ioh. 10. which he also affir∣meth,* 1.1 the Ministers of the Church of England have: the first whereof is, that they go in by the dore, Iesus Christ, that is, by his call, and the Churches, which (as he sayth) he hath proved at large.

In so saying he speaks at large: let him prove, that the Bishop▪* 1.2 or Patron, or eyther of them, is in Christs place set by him to chuse Ministers: or that they are the Church, to which he hath com∣mitted the power of calling and choosing them, and answer the Reasons brought to the contrary: otherwise his large proving will appeare but a large boasting: and he will give men occasion to remember the proverb, It is good beating a proud man.
