Chap. 4. the. 3. Diuision.
Afterwarde he sayth, that neyther Bishop nor Elder are reckoned in that place. The pastor is there reckoned vp, and I haue shewed, that the pastor and Bishop are all one, and are but dyuers names to signifie one thing. And as for those Elders whyche doe onely gouerne, they are made mention of in other places, and therefore the Bishop and Elder are there conteyned, whych thing also M. Doctor graunteth.
If the Bishop be conteyned vnder the Pastor, why may not the Archbishop be so likewise: but if the Elders (which you say do only gouerne) be not there conteyned, and yet a necessarie function in the Church (as you thinke) howe can it then be a perfecte platforme? or why may not Archbishops & Archdeacons be also necessarie, thoughe they be not in that place named: but you say that those Elders be in other places mentioned. That is no answere to this place, but a reason rather to proue it no perfect patterne.
M. Doctor graunteth a Bishop to be conteyned vnder the name of a pastor. But he doth not graunt that your Elder is so, or euery Presbyter (to whome the ministerie of the worde of God and sacraments is committed) to be a Pastor.
