Moreouer (a) 1.1 these ministeries without the which the Church is fully builded, and broughte to perfec〈1 line〉〈1 line〉ion and complete vnitie, are (b) 1.2 not to be reteyned in the Church: but without the mini∣steries of Archbyshop. &c. the Churche may be fully bu〈1 line〉〈1 line〉lded and brought to perfection, therefore these ministeries are not to be reteyned.

You must therefore vndersta〈1 line〉〈1 line〉d, that the Churche must as well be preserued and kept in perfection, peace and vnitie, as builded and brought therevnto, and that such offices
