Chap. 2. the. 22. Diuision.

Ansvvere to the Admonition. Pag. 114. Sect. 2. &. Pag. 132. Sect. 3.

Both the names & offices of Seniors were extinguished before Ambrose tyme, as he himselfe dothe testifie, writing vpon the fifth of the fyrst to Timothie.

In deede as Ambrose sayth, writing vpon the fyfth of the fyrst to Timothie, The Synagogue, and after, the Church had Seniors, vvithout vvhose counsell nothing vvas done in the Churche, but that was before hys time, and before there was any christian Magistrates, or any Churche established.

T. C. Pag. 145. Sect. 2.

Last of al (*) 1.1 to proue that there ought to be no Seniors in the church vnder a christian Prince, he citeth Ambrose authoritie both in the. 114. and. 132. pages, which sayth that the Synagogue or Church of the Iewes, and after that the Church of the Christians had Seniors, without whose counsel nothing was done in the Church: whervpon he concludeth, that for as much as they were not in Ambrose time, therefore they were not vnder a christian Prince.

Io. Whitgifte.

This is most vntrue. I alleage not Ambrose in eyther of those places to proue that Seniors ought not to be vnder a christian Prince, as the Reader may vnderstande euidently by my words. Only I confesse that there was Seniors, and I alleage Am∣brose partly for that purpose, partly to shewe that both their names and offices were extinguished before his time: no man liuing can gather any other sense out of my words. Wherfore that conclusion vpon Ambrose wordes is yours, it is not myne: and I am sory that malice hath throwne you so déepe into y^e pit of vntruth, that you can not be gotten out of it. No cloake or shadow can couer this deformitie of yours.

Notes

(*) 1.1

Vntrue, for it is not alleaged for that 〈◊〉〈◊〉
