Now that I haue shewed the place, I will say no more, I will leaue it to M. Doctor to think of it in his chamber by himselfe, and so will conclude this question: that for so much as this order is such, as without which the principall offices of charitie can not be exercised, and that whyche is commaunded by the scriptures, approued and receyued by all the Churches in the Apostles tymes, and many hundred yeres after in the most florishing churches, both in time of peace, and in time of persecution, and that there are greater causes why it shoulde be in the time of peace, than in tyme of persecution, why rather vnder a christian prince, than vnder a tyrant, why rather nowe, than in the Apostles tymes, that in consideration of these things the Eldership is necessarie, and suche an order as the Churche ought not be without.

It forceth not greatly whether you say any more of it, or no: for as it nothing hin∣dreth my purpose, so winneth it no credite vnto yours. And for asmuch as the Church may muche better be gouerned, and the principall offices of charitie much better exer∣cised, by the ciuil Magistrate, than by these Seniors: and séeing that this kinde of go∣uernment is neyther commaunded in the scriptures, nor practised in the Church as a kinde of gouernment not to be altered, séeing also that it bringeth in confusion, dero∣gateth from that authoritie that God hath giuen to the ciuil Magistrate, howsoeuer it hath héeretofore bin vsed, yet is there no cause, why it should nowe, or at any tyme vnder Christian Princes, be of necessitie reteyned.
