There can be no such custome gathered of Hieroms words in that place, only he vsing an example to declare what the manner of choosing their Byshop was in the Church of Alexandria saith, that they elected one from among themselues whome they placing in an higher roome called him a Byshop, as if the souldiers should choose their cap∣tayne, or Deacons should choose one of them whome they know to be painfull, and name him archdeacon. You can no more hereof conclude, that it was then vsuall for deacons to choose their Archdeacon, than you may that it was also vsual for souldiers to choose their captaine: neyther can you here by proue that our Archdeacons are not like vnto theirs (if this were true) no more than you can, that our Captaines are not like vnto theirs, bycause the Souldiers do not choose them. But what create matter is it, if they were then chosen by Deacons and be not so now? and doth not the Byshop ap∣poynt them and is not the Byshop more than a Deacon?
