Chap. 3. the. 56. Diuision.
Nowe M. Doctor maye see by thys, that Titus was not as he fansyeth, the Archbyshop of all Crete: but that he had one flocke, wherevpon for the tyme he was there, he attended, and that where it is sayde he ordeyned Ministers: it is nothyng else but that he was the chiefe, and the moderator in the election of the ministers, as I haue declared before by many examples. And it is no maruell, althoughe the reste graunted hym this preheunnence, when he had both most ex∣cellent giftes, and was a degree aboue the Pastors, being an Euangelist.
Thys I maye see, that firste you haue no conscience in falsifying and corrup∣tyng of authors: Secondly, that you speake contraryes, euen in these fewe lynes: for you saye that Titus had one flocke in Creta, wherevpon he dyd attende for the tyme he* 1.1 was there▪ whiche muste néedes proue hym to be a Pastor: and yet you after∣wardes denye hym to be a Pastor, affirming hym to be an Euangelist, and you take the office of an Euangelist to be so distincte from the office of a Pastor, that they may not méete together in one man. Thirdly, I sée that you confidentlye take vpon you, to expounde Paules meanyng agaynste hys playne woordes, and agaynste the Iudgemente of the olde interpreters, and diuerse of the newe, as I haue she∣wed before in the election of Ministers. Besydes these, I see nothing answered to this example of Titus.
