T. C.

M. Beza in his Confessions Chap. 5. Sect. 32. sayth that the Ecclesiasticall iurisdiction is to be distinguished from the ciuill, and that although the Bishoppes in the tymes of chri∣stian Emperours were troubled with the hearing of ciuill causes, yet they did not that by any iudiciall power, which they exercised, but by a friendly intreatie of the parties, whiche were at discorde: and sayth notwithstanding, that herein the Emperours did giue to much to the ambition of certaine Bishops, wherevpon by little and by little afterwarde all things were confounded. And in the. 42. Section sayth that those corporall punishments whiche the Apostles exercised were peculiar and extraordinarie.

Io. Whitgifte.

M. Beza his bare worde is no sufficient proofe agaynst so many other testimo∣nies and reasons as are to the contrarie, and I haue sufficiently shewed Tract. 23. cap. 3. Diuis. vlt. that Bishops in tymes past did not onely heare ciuill causes, but also iudi∣cially determine the same. Touching the corporall punishments which the Apostles exercised, M. Beza in his booke de Haereticis a magistratu puniendis, doth make them so ordinarie that he vseth them as sufficient arguments to proue his purpose, and sayth plainly that the Apostles did exercise these punishments, not by the right of the Ecclesi∣asticall ministerie, but by the right of the ciuill Magistracie. as I haue declared Tract. 23. Cap. 3. Diuis. 12.
