A85088	Two treatises The first, concerning reproaching & censure: the second, an answer to Mr Serjeant's Sure-footing.

of_o the_o act_n that_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o make_v bishop_n of_o ephesus_n when_o this_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n be_v write_v and_o this_o may_v then_o give_v some_o fair_a probability_n from_o the_o instance_n of_o timothy_n that_o that_o order_n of_o priest_n or_o presbyter_n as_o distinct_a from_o a_o bishop_n be_v of_o a_o apostolical_a and_o therefore_o a_o divine_a original_a

by_o his_o command_n in_o other_o place_n now_o it_o may_v be_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o chief_a government_n and_o power_n of_o censure_n in_o several_a church_n be_v for_o some_o time_n reserve_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o though_o at_o a_o distance_n as_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n it_o be_v concern_v the_o church_n of_o corinth_n
