Secondly, for the same purpose you vse Luke. 12. verse. 14. where Christ speaking to him that sayde vnto him, Master bid my brother de∣uide the inheritance vvith me, answereth on this sorte, Man vvho made me a iudge or a deuider ouer you? Christ came in deede to be iudged, & not to iudge, he came to worke the worke of our redemption, not to decide controuersies touching landes and possessions. But will you therfore take from Christian men authoritie to iudge? for this exāple of Christ can no more be applied to Bishops than it may be to kings, bicause the doings of Christ is a patterne for all Christians, and yet Christians may iudge matters, and decide controuersies amongst their brethren. Looke. 1. Cor. 6. The Anabaptists vse this text for one* 1.1 of their reasons to condemne magistratie among Christians: & ther∣fore a very learned and late writer, in his exposition of this place, writeth thus: Hinc colligitur quantopere insaniant, qui ex hoc loco magistratum inter Chri∣stianos damnant: nam Christus non argumentatur à re ipsa, tanquàm profana sit, sed à vocatione sua, quòd missus sit in alium finem, tametsi res erat per se satis sancta & pia. Hereof may it be gathered, hovv greatly they dote vvhich condemne magistrates amongst Christians by this place, for Christe doth not reason of the thing it selfe, as though it vvere profane, but of his ovvne vocation, bicause he vvas sent to an other ende, although the thing of it selfe is holy and good.
