Nowe that authoritie is giuen into the handes of the Bishop alone, who by his sole authoritie thrusteth vpon them suche, as they many times, as well for vnhonest life, as also for lacke of lear∣ning, may, and do iustly dislike.
That Bishops haue authoritie to admitte Ministers (which is heere denyed) it is plaine by that which is written. 1. Tim. 5. manus citò ne cui imponas, Lay thy handes rashely on none. These wordes Ambrose, Chrysostome, and all learned wryters, for the moste part, doe say to be an Admonition to Timothie, that he oughte to be circumspecte in appoynting of Ministers. And to Titus chap. 1. Paule saythe that he left him at Creta, vt constituat oppidatim presbyteros, that he shoulde appoynt Ministers in euery towne. This Hierome and others doe expounde of the authoritie that Titus had in placing ministers in euery Church.
