Io. Whitgifte.

This is a cleanly & handsome shift to auoide ye defense of these grosse & vnapt allega∣tions* 1.1 of scriptures. I haue answered the argument grounded vpō the. 5. to ye Hebrues,

and required the proofe of the minor, whiche is this, that Archbishops, Lordbishops. &c. intrude them selfes into their offices without any lawfull calling, whiche bothe they and you haue omitted: and therefore I haue answered sufficiently, vntill you haue proued that which is by me denied.

It is not true, that the Apostle to the Hebrues proueth the vocation of our sauiour Ie∣sus Christ to be iust and lawfull, bicause his callyng was conteyned in the scriptures: he onely sheweth by euident testimonies of the Scriptures, that Christ dyd not intrude hym selfe, but was called of God. And if you will haue no man to execute any function in the Churche, but him that hath suche speciall and personall testimonies of the scrip∣tures to shewe for him selfe, I sée not howe any man can iustifie his calling. It is therefore sufficient if his calling be generally conteyned in the Scripture, as al law∣full and ordinary functions are, euen the offices of Archebishops, and Lordebi∣shops, &c.
