After that, he sayth there is no Catechista: if there be a pastor, there is one which bothe can, and ought to instruct the youth, neyther (*) 1.1 dothe it perteyne to any other in the church, and publikely to teache the youth in the rudiments of religion, than vnto the pastor, howsoeuer in some tymes and places they haue made a seuerall offyce of it.
If a pastor and a Catechiste maye be in one, why may not a Bishop and a gouer∣nour* 1.2 also be one, and so your Elders shut out of the doores? But you may learne in auncient writers, that the office of a Catechiste was necessarie in the Churche, and distincte from the Pastor. Origene was a Catechist in the Churche of Alexandria, as Eusebius in his sixte booke dothe in sundrie places declare, and yet he was not then a Pastor.
What say you to the Doctor.
Catechist and pastor distin∣guished.
