* 1.1Allmightie God saieth by his Prophete Hieremie, which was bothe a Prophete and a Prieste. Ecce dedi verba mea in ore tuo: Ecce cōstitui te super gētes & super regna, vt euellas & destruas, & disperdas, & dissipes, & aedifi∣ces,* 1.2 & plātes. Gregorius Nziāzenus sermonede dictis Hiere∣miae ad Iulianum Imperatorem: putas ne patimini vt verū vobiscum agam, suscipitis ne libertatem verbi, & libenter accipitis, quod lex Christi sacerdotali vos nostrae subiecit potestati, atque iustis tribunalibus subdit? Dedit enim nobis potestatem, dedit principatum multò perfectiorem princi∣patibus vestris, aut nunquid iustum videtur, si cedat spiritus carni, si à terrenis coelestia superentur, si diuinis praeferantur humana? Sed patienter quaeso accipite libertatem nostram. Scio te ouem esse gregis mei, scio te intra sacra altaria cum veneratione subijci manibus sacerdotis, &c.
* 1.3And by this Prophete Ezechiel almighty God saieth: Vae Pastoribus Israel, quod infirmū fuit, non consolidastis,
descriptionPage 517
quod aegrotū, non sanastis: quod confractum non alligastis: quod abiectum, non reduxistis: quod perierat, non quaesistis. Into the whiche maledictions and curses, the Bishoppes and Priestes muste needes incurre, if they haue no Iuris∣diction ouer theyr flocke, if they maie not visite them, if they may not refourme them, if they maie not order and correcte them, at all tymes as they shal see cause.
Chrysostomus Homil. 5. de verbis Esaiae,* 1.4 vbi Sacerdo∣tem astruit esse medium inter Deum & Hominem, nul∣lumque honorem in terris illius honori posse conferri.
And therefore here to conclude this my obiection vnto your L. answeare, I shall here finishe the same, say∣ing with the blessed Martyr Ignatius, S Iohn the Euan∣gelistes disciple. Quòd nemo praeter Episcopum aliquid agat eorum quae ad Ecclesiam pertinent.* 1.5And so to adio∣yne herevnto the sayinge of S. Augustine, who in spea∣kinge Contra Iulianum, ait de Doctoribus Ecclesiae: quod credunt, credo: quod tenent, teneo: quod docent, doceo: quod praedicant, praedico: istis cede, & mihi ce∣des. &c.
