What I haue sayde, how truly you haue reported my wordes, & how aptly you haue replied to my Answere, euen the very simple Reader may easily vnderstand: & therfore for answers to this, I shall only desire him to compare our wordes togither: and then it shall easily appeare how you haue falsified my wordes: for wheras I ga∣ther out of these wordes of y^e Admonition, Election was made by the common cōsent of the whole Church, therfore their collection is true which say, that they would haue the my∣nisters to be called, allowed, & placed by the people, you either of purpose, or by ouer∣sight (which is very vsuall with you) haue left out y^e worde (whole) & make as though I should say, that it is all one to say that the election must be made by the church, & to say, it must be made by the people: & should confound the people & the church, the part with the whole: which is a manifest vntruth. But by y^e way it is to be noted, y^t you séeme to separate the people frō the election of mynisters, for you will not haue the worde (Church) in the Admonition to cōprehend the people, else why haue you these words, when the question is of the proprietie of these speaches, (the church and the people)? and surely it may séeme that this is their meaning, bicause in their second edition they say the elec∣tion was made by the Elders, with the common consent of the people, so that, the election should be made by the Elders, and the people only should cōsent to the election: which is contrary to the rest of your assertion.
