In steade of Chancelours, Archdeacons, Officialls, Commissaries, Proctors, Doctors, sum∣moners, Churchwardens and such lyke, you haue to place in euery congregation a lawfull and godly Seigniorie.
But I pray you do thus much for me, first proue that there was* 1.1 in euery cōgregation such as you call Seniors: when you haue done that, thē shew me that that office & kind of regimēt ought to be per∣petuall,
and not rather to be altered according to the state and condi∣tion of the Churche: last of all, that those Seniors were lay men as we call them, and not rather ministers of the worde, and Bishops. When you haue satisfied my request in these three pointes, then wil I proceede further in this matter.
Certaine que∣stions deman̄∣ded to be pro∣ued.
