Chap. 1. the. 16. Diuision.
And that without these ministeries the Church may be complete, it appeareth by that which is in the fourth to the Ephesians, where it is said that Christ gaue some Apostles, some Euange∣lists, some Pastors and Doctors, to the restoring of the saincts vnto the worke of the ministerie, vntill we all come to the vnitie of faith, and of the knowledge of the Sonne of God, and vnto a perfect man.
In that place to the Ephesians there is no mention made of Deacons and wi∣dowes,* 1.1 nor of your elders, and therefore it maketh as much against them as it dothe against Archbyshops. Moreouer it hath Apostles, Euangelists, and Prophets, all which you seclude from the state of this Church. Thirdly it conteyneth those mini∣steries only which are occupied in the word and administration of the sacramentes, not those whiche perteyne to order and discipline as you afterwarde your selfe con∣fesse, and therefore I vnderstand not how that place can help you any thing at all.
