If Adams wife began the Church, then is your mayn foundation overthrown; namely that the ministers make, and denominate the Church, except you will say that Eve was a Minister. Secondly it is not true you say, that God made Adam a Minister, before Eve was created. In the same place you make (and truely) a Minister, and Ambassadour which brings the word all one: & vnto whom could Adam eyther minister the word, or be an Ambassadour to bring it before Eve was formed?

The truth is, Adam and Eve were the Ch. not by his, but by her creatiō, which made a company, or society: & thus we are in the first place to consider of them, and of Adam as a teacher in the second place; the speciall calling here, and ever, following after, and vpon the ge∣nerall.
