M. Bucer in his first booke of the kyngdome of Christ, for the auncients of the Churche sayeth, that the number of the Elders of euery Churche ought to be encreased according to the multitude of the people, and in the. 14. chapter of the same booke sayeth that this order of Deaconship was religiously kept in the Churche vntill it was dryuen out by Antichriste.
Io. Whitgifte.
It had bene well to haue noted the chapter out of the which you gather that first saying of M. Bucer, howebeit, the matter is not great, for the question is not whether the number of the Elders of euery Churche ought to be encreased according to the number of the

people, or no, in such places where this kynde of gouernment is admitted: but whether this kynde of gouernment muste of necessitie in all Churches and at all tymes be put in practise. I doe not remember that M. Bu〈1 line〉〈1 line〉er any where affirmeth that. In déede in the fifth chapter of the firste booke (speakyng of these Seniors,) he sayeth: Tales sanè possunt cum administris doctrinae & Sacramentorum Christi discipli∣nam exercere. &c. Such may exercise the diseipline of Christe with the ministers of the worde and Sacramentes. &c. He sayeth they may doe it, not that they ought to do it.
That whiche M. Bucer speaketh of the Deaconshippe in the 14. chapter, is not denied, but hee nowhere sayeth that the poore muste of necessitie hée prouided for by Deacons, and by none other: and hée teacheth in the same chapter, that mo things apperteyned to the office of the Deacon than to prouide for the poore: as namely to assiste the ministers in the administration of the Sacramentes and exercising of dis∣cipline.
What sufficient proofes these bée to induce that necessitie of the kynde of gouern∣ment so greatly vrged by you, let the learned Reader iudge.
