interteyneth from good to better or that he calleth of new vnto his knowledge For in some pointes the Lorde vsing his iust vengeance he semeth altogether to root vp till y t he leaue not one trase of y e Churche as it is come to pas in y e contrie of the Barbariens in the orient And in other cuntries he haeth left as yet some trace of y e Churche as we see in the Churches of Grecia and yet more nerer vnto vs. On the other part the Lorde betwene handes some tyme● out of this personall succession of pa●●tours as it chanced in Antioche i● the tyme of Samosatenus and in Alexandrie the tyme of the banishe●ment of Athanasius in many othe● Churches in the tyme that heresyes had there furious rage specially without seking thinges any furde● at this tyme there haeth bene interruption in the personalle succession of the Romishe seat at least in y e tyme that Honorius the first held the seat aboute the yere syx hundreth thre twentie was condemned for the execrable heresie of Eut●ches aboute the yere syx hundreth foure score And in the tyme of Pope Iohn the twentie and two was condemned for an heretike aboute the yere a thousand thre hundreth thirtie two Except they wold say that notable heretiques were the heades of the Churche besides this w c happened in the tyme of the she pope Iohā aboute the yere eight hundreth fiftie and foure and during so many schismes of contrary popes as be redde in histories By these reasons I conclude y t with out stayeng at any personall succession for to know the Churche well we must alweyes come to the purite of the doctrine and to the sincere administration of the Sacramentes In suche sort that they whiche oght to be compted the ryght successors of the Apostles the whiche being lawfully called build vpon their foūdatiō whether there be a ●ontinuall succession of persons or that that succession some tymes be interrupted yea euen of them y e first preached the Euangile in any place Lyke as contrarywyse they that preache not at all or that in stead of the doctrine of the Apostles preache their owne doctrine althogh they alledge a thousand predecessors following one an other they oght not to be hearde as pastors but to be fled from as wolues by the expres cōmandement of Iesus Christe and of his Apostles But some may say is this said because y t it is lefull to euery body to preache the Euangile and to minister the Sacramentes No surely for it behoueth y t euery thing be done by good ordre in the house of God as the Apostle sayeth Who be then the right pastors They whiche be lawfully called There resteth then to knowe what is lawfull vocation and to vnderstand this point we say that there is a maner of ordinarie vocation an other extraordinarie That is the ordinarie vocatiō in the whiche the ordre is kept that God haeth established in the Churche And in this ordre first of all there is examination of the doctrine of the lyfe then after there is lawfull election finaly there is imposition of hādes These may ye see in many places of the Scripture to be put and conioyned together as in the election of Saint Matthias and of the vij deacons in the Actes of the Apostles and also in that whiche is written in S. Paules Epistles vnto Timothee and to Tite This now is the ordanarie vocation whereby it may be easely cōsidered what is the extraordinarie vocation in the whiche notwithstanding y t one of these two thinges or two of them yea or all the three be wanting yet is it laufull by the authoritie of God That oure Lorde haeth often tymes vsed suche extraordinarie vocations it appereth through out the Scriptures For who laied hādes vpon Moses that he might consecrate Aaron And who anointed in the degre of a Prophete Isaie Daniel Amos and many others And whē came that to passe Then as they that had the ordre in their handes abused the same then say I it behoued that God should extraordinarely put hand to his work not for to bring cōfusion into his house but to correct them whiche vnder the shaddowe of ordinarie successiō had had ouerturned and peruerted all And that it is so I referre me to the writinges of the Prophetes w c specially speake against the priestes But if herein it be replied y t suche persons neuertheles haue had miraculously frome heauē an outward witnessing of their calling I answer that this is very trew in some but not in all except that ye will deuine that to be whiche in no wyse is euident by any witnes yea I can not well tell if there be many of the trew Prophetes of the rase of Aaron who haue hadde the imposition or laying on of handes after the ordinarie maner But if they will alledge that the fore said Prophetes were content to rebuke and to reproue without hauīg any thing to do with the sacrifices First of all I answer that that is not true euery where for Samuell w c was not of the rase of Aaron but onely of Chore did sacrifice ī Mispa as it is written in the first booke of Samuell in the vij chaptre And Elie the Galaadite did sacrifice in Carmell as it is written in the first booke of kinges y e eightene chaptre Secondly it is no meruell if the Prophetes ī that tyme stretched not oute their comissiōn extraordinarie so farre as to circumcise sacrifice seing that this charge was appointed heretably vnto the rase of Leuy the whiche thing at this day haeth no place Consider now my Lordes what we call the Churche and what we esteme of the marckes of it of the vocatiō of pastors of whiche things if ye will make applicatiō vnto oure Churches or vnto oure selues we hope with the help of God to shew so good tokens that none shall haue iust occasion to doubte thereof following the worde of God and that whiche thereof is truely written as we think in a treatise that is found amōgest y e workes of S. Augustine intituled a dialogue of 66 questions in the last question Now let vs come to speake of the authoritie of y e Churche It appereth by these thinges that we haue afore spoken that we do not derogate in any point the preciouse and hye titles the whiche the holy Goste attributeth vnto it But we say that it is so the body of oure Lorde that in a part it is in their pilgrimage awaiting for the full enioyeng of their head it is the house of God but that whiche is yet a buylding and groweth day by day and that it is gouerned by the Spirit of God but as yet fighting against the fleshe it is purified but in suche sorte as to be broght by litle and litle vnto this perfection of
