The text.

And when the Apostles who were in Hierusalem, had heard that Samaria had receiued the word of God, they sent to them Peter and Iohn.

The note.

Saepè sibi socium petens facit esse Iohannem, Ecclesiae quia virgo pla∣cet. Arator apud Bedam in Act.

The answer.

How chaunce you set not downe your note in English, did you meane that no bodie should know it, but such as could vnderstand latine? If the ministerie of married men had not béene as wel ac∣cepted, and liked of the church then, as the ministerie of others, neither would Philips dealing at Samaria béene so well allow∣ed of as it was, neither yet had saint Peter béene a méete messen∣ger to haue bene sent about that businesse. But Iohn was liked of bicause he was a virgin, it well appeareth that neither Philip nor Peter were disliked, bicause they were married. But I praie you tell me, what church now may be so bold, as to send the Pope on their errand, or about their businesse? Either the Church then had greater authoritie then now, and Peter lesse then his suppo∣sed successors haue now, or els the Popes now are prouder, and take more vpon them then hée did.
