of the Churche: ours will not take the best ministers of the Church as their equals. If therefore Archdeacons will haue any benefite by the Archdeacons of old time, it is meete they shoulde con∣tent themselues with that place which they were in.

Io. Whitgifte.

No such thing is in that epistle of Hierome: only he speaketh of deacons, touching that matter, whome he also she weth in the Church of Rome to haue bin in certaine points preferred before ministers, neyther is there one word of Archdeacons in that booke of Augustines, but only of Deacons. You must learne to make a distinction be∣twixt an Archdeacon and a Deacon, and not to make the reader beléeue that the au∣thors you quote in the margente, speake of Archdeacons, when they onely speake of Deacons. My witnesses how few so euer they be, are sufficiente to withstand thys cowardly assault of yours, wherein there is neyther strength nor truth.
