Moreouer, if so be vnder the Pastor the Apostle comprehended an Archbyshop, thē the Arch∣byshop is necessary, and such as the Church cannot be without, and commaunded of God, & ther∣fore not taken vp by the pollicie of the Church for the tune, countrey, and other circumstances, and such also as cannot be put downe at the will of the Church, which is contrary to the iudgemente of those which are the Archbyshops Patrones.
Your argument if it be thus framed, Pastors are necessary at all times in all e∣states of the Church, and in all places, and cannot be put downe at the will of the Church: Archbyshops are Pastors, therfore they be necessary at all times. 〈◊〉〈◊〉. I denie your argumente, bycause the maior in the first figure cannot be particular. If you make your maior vniuersall, then I do denie it, and put you to the proofe. If you say that to preach the word and to administer the sacramēts (which is, the office of a Pa∣stor) is necessary at all times: then I confesse it to be true, and distinguish the minor on this sort: that an Archbyshop in respect of the ministery of the worde and sacra∣ments, is at all times necessary, not in the respect of policie and gouernment, in con∣sideration whereof he hath the name of an Archbyshop.
