Io. Whitgifte.

Your proofes hitherto alleadged are moste insufficient to iustiste this conclusi∣on, and yet doe you boldly goe on as though all were sure. This is but beldenesse and confidencie, it is not sounde and pithie dealing. I still denie that there is any other ministerie in the Churche, bycause there are Archebishops, than is by the worde of God confirmed: But you haue not yet proued by either Scripture or rea∣son, that there oughte not to be gouernours or superiors among the ministers of the Gospel, to whome any other names may be giuen, than is expressed in the word, which you ought to proue, else you doe but dallie, and studie with vayne wordes to enlarge your booke.

It is manyfest that Christ hath left the gouernment of his Church, touching the externall policie in sundrie points to the ordering of men, who haue to make orders and lawes for the same, as tyme, place, and person requireth, so that nothing bée done contrary to his worde, as it is before proued, Tract. 2. and shall be more here∣after.
