Io. Whitgifte.

Yet sayth he truely, for in those tymes in Christian congregations there were neyther publike Churches, or Pulpits, or scholes, or Vniuersities, &c. and yet these doe apperteyne to the gouernmente of the Churche. In déede S. Paule speaketh onely there of suche ecclesiasticall functions as doe teache and preache the worde, and not of suche as doe onely gouerne, and therefore it can not be a perfecte platfourme for euer, as I haue before declared: and yet dyuers of these thinges mentioned by the Bishop of Sarisburie, perteyne bothe to the office of teaching and gouerning.

That whiche you saye of Scholes, and Uniuersities, I minde not to examine, bicause I knowe they be necessary for the Churche, howe aptely soeuer you proue them. But this is the matter: they be necessarie in the Churche bothe for the office* 1.1 of gouerning and teaching, and yet they be not expressed in the fourthe to the Ephe∣sians, therefore in that fourth to the Ephesians there is no perfecte paterne of all ecclesiasticall gouernment: for that is the thing that the Bishop of Sarisburie affir∣meth, and therevnto you answere not one worde.

Not one of these places that you alleage, proueth that in this texte to the Ephe∣sians, eyther Scholes or Vniuersities be mentioned: thoughe it be certayne, that they perteyne bothe to teaching and gouerning, and therefore all this spéeche of yours is* 1.2 to no purpose, but onely to dasle the eyes of the Reader, least he should perceyue how you offende in ignorantia Elenchi, in not answering ad idem.
