Q. VVhat must be done to maintaine the Church and to ouerthrovv heresie, that destroyes the founda∣tion, errours, corrupting religion, scismes, breaking the peace of the Church, and vices, stayning our pro∣fession?

A. 1. To cleaue onely to the written word, which is both in time before, and in authoritie a∣boue the Church, to iudge all controuersies in re∣ligion. 2. To call sufficient men and ordaine them Ministers to teach, allowing necessarie main∣tenance; but suffering no insufficient to creepe in, or to abide still: neither the able to liue idlely, by carelesnes, pride, or couetousnesse. 3. That there be a godly order established and peaceably kept of euery one, without giuing offence. 4. That there be a holy and right vse continually of true discipline, to admonish, suspend, and excommu∣nicate obstinate offenders whosoeuer they be.
