And whereas M. Doctor sayth, that euery churche is not able to fynde a Curate (as he ter∣meth hym) and a Deacon, I haue before shewed, intreatyng of the Seniors, that the churches in the Apostles tymes myght best haue sayd this, beyng poore and persecuted, although I see not why the churche may not haue a Deacon or Deacons if mo be needefull, with as small charges as they may haue a collector or collectors.
It is the Admonition that sayeth, Euery paryshe cannot be at that caste to haue bothe. Wherevpon I doe but aske this question, why they require them both in e∣uery paryshe, if euerye paryshe cannot bee at the coste to haue them both? Bylike you make small accompte of the Admonition, in that you read it not, or else you haue forgotten that this question is demaunded vpon their confession. But in deede I am of that opinion too, and haue before answered your obiection of the Churches in the Apostles tymes, as for our Collectors, they be suche as put not the Churche to one halfepenye charge, so could not your Deacons do.
