created by Moses to minister serue Aaron in al y e sacrifices to beare the arke and tabernacle the holy vessels and pitche the campe and were discharged of al extreme affayres Nexte them were chosen the ministers whiche dyd make redye the sacrifice as Calues Oxen shepe with suche other thynges at the cōmaundement of the Leuites these we may cal subdeacons Certeyne other were elected to light the tapers and lampes named accolytes The Sextyns or porters were appointed to kepe out all prophane and vnclene people And readers to preache and reade the law and prophetes on their sabboth daies There were moreouer chaunters syngers to syng the Psalmes in the temple whom Dauid and Asaph did institute Coniurars were ordeyned by Salomon to driue euil spirites out of men Al these offices went by succession neither was one promoted frō one to another Thus was the leuitical priesthod appointed whiche was but a signe shadowe of thinges to come that is Christ in whō resteth the perfection and cōplete fulfillyng of the lawe The .iiii. Chapiter ¶ Of our priesthod howe it is double what laiyng on of handes meaneth CHRIST Iesus our sauiour whiche was kyng priest after the order of Melchisedeche in the newe testament hath instituted among vs a priesthod to offre and do the functions of this newe law And it is of two kyndes or sortes The one is a spirituall priesthod to offre spiritual sacrifices in this kynde Christ offered and gaue vp him selfe a consummate oblacion for the sinnes of the whole world as Peter saieth Christ died ones for our synnes he beyng righteouse for vs vnrighteous that he might gyue vs vp to God mortified as touchyng the fleshe but liuyng in the spirite OF this priesthode bee all christen menne whiche after the example of Christe muste offer our praiers thankes gyuyng and oure bodies mortified wee bee all of the degree of this kyngly presthode as Peter and also Ihon in the Apocalipse dooe beare witnesse THE seconde priesthode is a ministery that Christe did ordain foloyng the ordre of the lawe that wee might haue our teachers to enstructe vs in the Gospell as the Iewes had their scholemasters in the lawe He did elect twelue bishoppes whom he called by a newe name Apostelles bicause thei wer appoincted to bee embassadoures into all partes of the worlde with the mightie woorde of his power the glad tidynges of his Gospell He assigned also .lxx. disciples to whō he gaue the charge and office of preachyng teachyng whiche in steade of Aarōs sonnes should be emong vs as inferior priestes and s●●oures of congregacions and of these beganne the ordre of our Priestes as our bishoppes had their originall of the Apostelles As for the Apostelles and disciples whiche wer ministers and disposers of the misteries of GOD had no other maner of consecratyng but onely the vocacion and eleccion of Christe into the office And so was Mathias chosen in the Actes into y e roume of Iudas so wer the seuen deacons chosen to minister too the poore people of the congregacion And Titus did chose in euery toune and citee of Crete priestes by the laiyng on of handes whiche was a maner of admission withoute any further ceremonies wherby authoritie was gyuen them ouer the congregacion and boldnes to execute ernestely his office with the assistence of the holy ghoste And therefore in the beginnyng of the churche when a bishoppe was consecrated there was vsed no other rites or amabges but onely the people to whō the eleccion of the bishop belonged should praie and after the senioures or priestes by laiyng on their hādes admitted hym too that degree Of these Peter was called chief and first bicause bothe of his auncientie and also for somuche as he was firste elected A bishoppes roume is not somuche an honour as it is an heuye burden not so muche a laude as a lode For his deutie is not onely to weare a mitre and crosear but also to watche ouer the flocke of the Lorde vigilantly to teache with the woorde diligently with example honestly and in all thynges too go afore theim vprightly and leade them in the waie of trueth that thei maie folowe the patron of his Godly lyuyng and there as it were in a myrroure beholde howe thei oughte too refourme and confourme their lyuyng And this office of the bishopricke deacons wer instituted by the scripture onely for priestes in y e primatiue churche bishops wer al one BVT the bishoppes of Rome folowyng the shaddowes of the olde abrogate lawe of the Hebrues haue ordained a swarme of diuerse other orders as porters or sextens reders exorcistes accollites subdeacōs deacons pristes bishoppes archebishoppes as a certain degree one aboue another wherby thei should assend to the highest dignitie Caius bishoppe Rome did begyn the orders firste yet some saie Iginius did ordayne those degrees long afore Caius tyme. And I graunte well that Iginius mighte bee the first diuiser of theim afterwarde Caius accōplished the worke brought it to a finall consūmacion THE office of a priest as Christe ordained it was too teache baptise and minister the Sacramente of the alter and thankes gyuyng bynd and lose and iudge of doctrynes Therefore lette theim take hede that admit suche too bee priestes as cannot perfourme the deutie of the ministery For many suppose if thei can mumble vp a paire of Matyns and saye Masse thei bee perfecte priestes The .v.
