Io. Whitgifte.

Where dothe M. Doctor saye that Deacons dyd minister the Lordes supper? set downe his wordes: Is there no ende of your falsifying and vntrue gathering? Let the Reader compare the wordes that I haue recited out of Iustinus Martyr wyth your collection, and then iudge of the honestie and sinceritie of your dealing. The Admonition so speaketh of Deacons as thoughe their office in the primitiue Church, had béene onely to gather, and to distribute almes. This I denye, and proue that Deacons dyd then also preache, baptise, and distribute the bread and the wyne in the administration of the Lordes Supper. I no where saye, neyther doe I beléeue that they dyd at any tyme minister the Lordes Supper, and you mighte haue vn∣derstoode, that to distribute the bread and wyne to the people in the administration of the Supper, is not to minister the Sacrament of the Supper. For these Deacons of whome Iustinus Martyr speaketh, yea and Serapions boy also dyd the one, but they dyd not the other: and therefore the spirite of cauilling hathe dryuen you to thys surmise.
