This
is

mynde
of
the

church
at

in

Annotations

Chapters
,
and
vpon

:
This
is
the
consent
of
the
Church
of
Scotland
:
this
the
opinion
of
all
the
reformed
Churches
in
Europe
.
And
thys
is
mynde
of
S.
Paule
in
the
.xx.
of
the
Actes
,
and
of
Hierome
and
Theodorete
vpon
the
same
place
.
Obiection
.
Marke
the
Euangelist
was
Byshop
of
Alexandria
.
Iames
and
Symon
Cananeus
were
Bishops
of
Hierusalem
.
Peter
was
Bishop
of
Antioche
.
Ignatius
succeeded
Peter
in
that
Bishopricke
.
Policarpus
was
bishop
of
Smyrna
,
and
so
of
others
.
Epiphanius
also
wryteth
in
the
defence
of
a
Bishoplike
distinction
,
and
authoritie
,
&
therefore
to
haue
Bishops
is
a
thyng
allowed
by
the
autority
of
the
primitiue
Church
.
Answer
.
That
there
should
be
Bishops
is
a
thing
graunted
,
but
that
they
should
be
aboue
the
Ministers
,
as
that
is
plainly
denied
,
so
cannot
the
contrary
be
lightly
proued
:
For
s
.
Marke
was
none
otherwyse
Bishop
at
Alexandria
,
then
S.
Thomas
preaching
to
the
Meedes
,
Parthians
,
and
Persians
.
Saynt
Iames
and
Simon
Cananeus
were
but
as
Simon
Zelotes
preachyng
in
Mauritania
and
Aphricke
.
Peter
was
in
no
ampler
sort
Byshop
of
Antioche
,
the
Iudas
Thaddeus
preaching
in
Mesopotamia
.
Ignacius
was
at
Antioche
,
as
Onesimus
at
Ephesus
.
Polycarpus
was
at
Smyrna
,
but
as
Simon
was
at
Bostrum
.
As
for
Epiphanius
,
fuit
Episcopus
,
&
voluit
arroganter
suam
tueri
dignitatem
,
he
was
a
Bishop
,
and
he
would
arrogantly
maintaine
and
vpholde
hys
dignitie
.
Question
.
Hereunto
we
may
adde
a
question
,
whether
it
hath
bene
,
or
maye
bee
profitable
to
the
Churche
of
God
,
that
one
Minister
should
be
set
on
hygh
and
aboue
the
rest
.
Answer
.
First
touching
Rome
,
this
political
superiority
hath
set
him
on
horsbacke
,
and
a
gog
on
all
hys
pryde
,
whereby
the
Church
of
God
was
,
and
is
afflicted
,
Christian
Princes
iniured
,
religion
vtterly
subuerted
,
and
superstition
mainly
defended
.
Then
concerning
Englande
,
thys
preheminence
in
Priestes
was
the
cause
why
William
Rufus
,
&
Henry
the
first
were
troubled
by
Anselmus
,
Henry
the
second
molested
by
Thomas
Becket
,
Kyng
Iohn
by
Steuen
Langthon
,
Henry
the
third
by
Edmunde
,
Edward
the
first
,
by
Iohn
Peckham
,
and
Robert
Winchelsey
,
kyng
Richard
with
William
Bishop
of
Ely
,
&
so
of
other
kinges
,
who
euery
one
in
his
time
had
som
what
to
do
with
Byshops
Archbishops
and
Cardinals
:
so
that
the
end
of
this
superiority
is
the
dishonouriug
of
God
,
the
troubling
of
Princes
,
the
heaping
together
of
great
wealth
,
abusing
of
the
goodes
of
the
Church
,
and
molesting
&
wringing
of
all
christian
people
.
Thus
wee
see
it
manifestly
proued
,
if
selfe
wyl
and
ambition
raygne
not
,
that
no
primacie
eyther
in
the
Pope
,
or
in
any
other
Priest
,
maye
bee
mayntained
:
And
we
haue
it
proued
by
the
holy
Ghost
in
S.
Paule
,
and
in
S.
Peter
.
Chrysostome
concludeth
so
,
Aerius
affirmeth
it
,
Augustine
aloweth
it
,
Cyprian
so
saith
,
Ambrose
agreeth
thereunto
,
Theophilact
confesseth
it
,
Hierom
auoucheth
it
,
Panormitan
so
writeth
,
Erasinus
so
thinketh
,
it
is
the
mynde
of
Theodorete
,
of
Musculus
,
of
Bullinger
,
of
Peter
Martir
,
of
Caluin
,
of
Beza
,
of
Gualter
,
&
of
other
the
godly
and
learned
,
wherfore
to
conclude
,
we
may
wel
reason
thus
:
All
things
disagreing
from
the
godly
and
learned-mens
iudgement
,
&
from
the
holy
Ghost
his
teachyng
,
are
to
be
reiected
:
Therfore
that
one
Minister
shoulde
be
aboue
his
fellowe
brethren
,
is
to
be
reiected
.
Adde
hereunto
the
Minor
,
&
then
the
argument
holdeth

Seyng
that
the

a

and
of
a
Pastor
doo
not
differ
by
the
law
of
God
,
it
is
euident
that
if
any
Pastor
or
Curate
make
anye
godly
ordinaunce
in
his
Church
,
it
is
confirmed
by
the
law
of

Here
it
appeareth
euidentlye
by
the
Law
of
God
,
by
the
example
of
our
sauiour
Christ
,
by
the
holy
wrytinges
of
the
Apostels
,
and
by
the
exposition
of
the
auncient
fathers
,
and
others
,
that
neither
the
Byshop
of
Rome
,
nor
anye
other
Byshop
or
Deacon
,
ought
to
haue
&
take
the
name
of
gracious
Lordes
,
nor
yet
that
they
should
exercise
any
such
authoritie
,
and
therefore
wee
maye
hence
reason
thus
:
Al
Successours
of
the
Apostels
ought
Barbara

Feri

to
shunne
the
titles
of

Lords
.
All
our
Byshops
are
Successours
of
the
Apostels
.
Therefore
al
our
Byshops
ought
to
Thunne
the
titles
of
gracious
Lordes
.
Againe
:
Nothyng

But
that
a
Minister
would
bee
called
Grace
or
Lord
,
is
disagreing
from
the
scriptures
:
Therefore
it
is
not
to
be
allowed
.

but
the

is
chosen
by
an
Idolater
,
without
true
praiers
,
or
fasting
,
and
in
the
companye
of
irreligious
Papistes
:
therefore
he
is
no

He

is

,
&
Cypr
:
lib
Epist.

holdeth
the
Apostolicall
&
Euangelicall
tradition
,
is
a
Minister
:
but
such
a
one
is
not
the
poipish
Priest
:
the
proofe
is
playne
.
The
Sinagoge
of
the
Pope
is
more
aduersarie
to
Christ
,
then
the
Francise
Lamber
ad
princip:
lan
san
:
Turke
:
therfore
his
Priestes
are
no
lawfull
Ministers
of
the
Gospell
.
Consider
the
definition
of
a
Pastor
,
and
it
must
needes
euidentlye
appeare
,
that
a
popish
Priest
is
no
lawfull
Minister
.
Question
If
a
popish
Priest
refuse
his
papacie
,
&
being
conuerted
vnto
the
Gospell
,
may
he
not
be
a
Minister
,
without
any
further
calling
,
and
so
administer
the
Sacramentes
?
Answer
No
:
for
it
was
not
lawfull
in
the
primitiue
Church
,
for
the
Conuertes
,
without
further
calling
to
bee
Ministers
of
the
Sacramentes
.
And
if
a
meere
Lay
man
is
no
lawfull
Minister
,
no
more
is
the
papal
Priest
.
Againe
,
if
a
turkish
Priest
beyng
conuerted
,
may
not
yet
administer
the
Lordes
Supper
,
nor
without
further
calling
Baptize
anye
,
no
more
may
the
papisticall
Priest
.
It
is
heresie
to
affirme
,
that
the
Pope
,
Cardinals
,
Bishops
,
wythall
●amberus
in
pa
●ad
:
his
kyngdome
,
bee
of
the
Church
of
God
,
which
is
meke
,
al
pure
&
holy
.
Wherefore
,
considering
the
premises
,
weighing
the
practise
of
the
Apostels
,
and
looking
to
the
order
of
the
primitiue
Church
,
we
maye
reason
thus
,
for
it
is
effectuall
:
None
being
ordayned
by
the
synagog
Celarent
.
of
Antichrist
,
is
a
lawfull
Minister
:
All
popish
Priestes
are
ordayned
by
the
synagog
of
Antichrist
:
Therefore
no
popishe
Priest
is
a
lawfull
Minister
.
