It saith that God did inspire his holy Apostles to choose Saint Ste∣phen to the order of the Deacon set downe in that booke, and that Deacons then to be ordred are called to the like office, and admi∣nistration.
That God did inspire his holy Apostles to choose Saint Ste∣phen;* 1.1 to the order of Deacon set downe in that booke is a truth warranted by Scripture, and afterwards by the Fathers as Saint Cyprian among the rest. Deacons must remember that the Lord hath chosen Apostles (that is) Bishops and Pre∣lates: But the Apostles after the ascention of the Lord ap∣pointed Deacons Ministers of his Bishopricke & Church. And that they are called to the like office, and administration may appeare in this, because as they preached and baptised so like∣wise doe ours. Secondly, As they ministred vpon tables for reliefe of the poore, so herein thus sarre ours are seruiceable to such purposes, namely at times if neede require and other order be not taken to giue notice of such sicke and impotent, as reliefe may be more conueniently prouided for them.
