be_v in_o itself_o spiritual_o visible_a and_o visible_o spiritual_a must_v needs_o have_v a_o head_n proportionable_a to_o it_o in_o all_o degree_n otherwise_o it_o can_v but_o appear_v a_o monstrous_a body_n the_o head_n and_o member_n be_v of_o different_a nature_n that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o i_o prove_v out_o of_o the_o very_a word_n of_o christ_n estable_v his_o church_n and_o that_o draw_v out_o of_o your_o own_o english_a bible_n but_o give_v i_o leave_v my_o lord_n to_o gloss_n a_o little_a first_o on_o your_o own_o word_n and_o you_o will_v see_v i_o will_v not_o forget_v my_o positive_a proof_n of_o scripture_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n you_o must_v needs_o know_v i_o admire_v much_o your_o vehemency_n in_o protest_v against_o that_o church_n which_o allow_v of_o any_o visible_a spiritual_a head_n you_o fly_v to_o such_o eagerness_n of_o contradiction_n against_o this_o spiritual_a supremacy_n that_o i_o think_v sure_a you_o have_v some_o solid_a authority_n to_o disprove_v the_o pretend_a abuse_n till_o at_o last_o i_o find_v you_o have_v no_o such_o proof_n in_o nature_n only_o probare_fw-la idem_fw-la per_fw-la idem_fw-la viz._n that_o the_o church_n have_v no_o such_o head_n at_o all_o but_o a_o politic_a one_o such_o as_o king_n saul_n be_v to_o the_o jewish_a church_n this_o be_v gratis_o say_v without_o the_o least_o proof_n of_o scripture_n or_o reason_n which_o circular_a way_n of_o proof_n be_v to_o be_v explode_v out_o of_o all_o school_n but_o will_v you_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v your_o lordship_n that_o the_o bible_n can_v afford_v a_o fit_a example_n to_o your_o purpose_n then_o that_o of_o a_o king_n reprove_v by_o god_n for_o his_o presumption_n in_o church-authority_n for_o all_o the_o world_n know_v that_o god_n almighty_a abandon_v saul_n because_o he_o presume_v in_o samuel_n absence_n to_o offer_v sacrifice_n which_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o never_o intend_v to_o make_v he_o head_n of_o the_o jewish_a church_n but_o why_o do_v not_o your_o lordship_n take_v a_o better_a example_n out_o of_o the_o 14_o chap._n of_o gen._n where_o melchisedec_n king_n of_o salem_n be_v mighty_o please_v to_o god_n for_o offer_v bread_n and_o wine_n in_o a_o action_n of_o grace_n for_o abraham_n victory_n over_o his_o enemy_n here_o you_o may_v find_v one_o man_n king_n and_o priest_n together_o for_o he_o be_v call_v in_o the_o selfsame_a place_n sacerdos_n dei_fw-la altissimi_fw-la the_o priest_n of_o the_o high_a god._n you_o omit_v he_o i_o suppose_v because_o he_o be_v call_v sacerdos_n if_o he_o have_v be_v call_v minister_n dei_fw-la altissimi_fw-la sure_o you_o will_v not_o miss_v to_o make_v he_o head_n of_o the_o church_n of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o a_o protestant_a head_n too_o see_v he_o offer_v the_o selfsame_a substance_n you_o offer_v now_o viz_o bread_n and_o wine_n the_o figure_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o this_o very_a thing_n be_v able_a to_o hinder_v your_o lordship_n from_o make_v use_n of_o melchisedeck_n example_n for_o his_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v own_a by_o all_o to_o have_v be_v the_o type_n of_o the_o sacrament_n we_o adore_v on_o our_o altar_n it_o can_v but_o seem_v very_o strange_a to_o your_o flock_n that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v take_v so_o much_o pain_n in_o establish_v a_o figure_n that_o be_v so_o many_o age_n ago_o establish_v already_o and_o that_o by_o the_o appointment_n of_o god_n himself_o and_o sure_o no_o man_n of_o sense_n can_v miss_v to_o find_v such_o a_o establishment_n of_o a_o idem_fw-la per_fw-la idem_fw-la contrary_a to_o reason_n and_o much_o more_o to_o the_o infinite_a prudence_n of_o a_o all-seeing_a god_n for_o god_n and_o nature_n have_v do_v nothing_o in_o vain_a deus_fw-la &_o natura_fw-la nihil_fw-la fecerunt_fw-la frustra_fw-la which_o he_o must_v needs_o have_v do_v if_o it_o be_v true_a what_o protestant_n say_v that_o he_o leave_v we_o bare_o the_o figure_n of_o his_o most_o precious_a flesh_n and_o blood_n in_o bread_n and_o wine_n have_v have_v the_o same_o type_n already_o since_o the_o time_n of_o abraham_n but_o of_o this_o we_o will_v say_v more_o in_o its_o own_o place_n now_o let_v we_o turn_v to_o the_o church_n supremacy_n and_o see_v whether_o it_o be_v civil_o or_o spiritual_o establish_v by_o christ_n on_o earth_n and_o i_o will_v begin_v by_o press_v home_o the_o matter_n to_o your_o lordship_n own_o door_n tell_v i_o i_o pray_v whether_o your_o power_n in_o bath_n and_o wells_n be_v spiritual_a or_o civil_a not_o civil_a for_o than_o you_o shall_v take_v your_o rank_n among_o the_o lord_n temporal_a in_o parliament_n your_o lordship_n ergo_fw-la must_v own_v yourself_o to_o be_v spiritual_a head_n of_o your_o flock_n and_o it_o be_v so_o indeed_o if_o any_o what_o privilege_n i_o pray_v can_v your_o private_a diocese_n have_v of_o enjoy_v a_o visible_a spiritual_a head_n and_o not_o the_o whole_a church_n for_o it_o be_v more_o repugnant_a to_o scripture_n and_o reason_n that_o a_o private_a bishopric_n shall_v have_v that_o blessing_n which_o you_o deny_v to_o the_o universal_a church_n then_o that_o the_o whole_a church_n hierarchical_o govern_v shall_v have_v a_o spiritual_a head_n and_o that_o by_o the_o very_a institution_n of_o christ_n this_o i_o prove_v by_o scripture_n as_o i_o promise_v and_o do_v begin_v with_o st._n peter_n his_o change_n of_o name_n which_o be_v first_o simon_n read_v i_o beseech_v you_o without_o your_o spectacle_n of_o selfishness_n and_o interest_n all_o the_o follow_a proof_n draw_v out_o of_o your_o own_o bible_n and_o begin_v with_o the_o 16_o chap._n of_o st._n matth._n 17_o &_o 18_o verse_n and_o there_o you_o will_v find_v jesus_n christ_n ordain_v st._n peter_n spiritual_a head_n of_o his_o church_n first_o he_o give_v he_o his_o blessing_n and_o call_v he_o by_o his_o proper_a name_n bless_a art_n thou_o simon_n barjona_n for_o flesh_n and_o blood_n have_v not_o reveal_v it_o unto_o thou_o you_o see_v then_o how_o he_o purify_v he_o from_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o consequent_o spiritualize_v he_o in_o the_o verse_n follow_v he_o change_v his_o name_n in_o say_v and_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o that_o thou_o be_v peter_n and_o upon_o this_o rock_n i_o will_v build_v my_o church_n and_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n shall_v not_o prevail_v against_o it_o what_o can_v be_v more_o formal_o positive_a for_o st._n peter_n spiritual_a supremacy_n and_o for_o that_o of_o his_o successor_n than_o this_o but_o i_o will_v give_v your_o lordship_n yet_o the_o trouble_n to_o see_v more_o proof_n out_o of_o your_o own_o bible_n for_o this_o spiritual_a supremacy_n and_o i_o defy_v all_o the_o world_n to_o show_v i_o as_o much_o as_o one_o passage_n out_o of_o scripture_n that_o shall_v be_v formal_o positive_a to_o the_o contrary_a i_o say_v the_o same_o of_o all_o other_o controvertable_a point_n but_o to_o come_v to_o my_o purpose_n i_o desire_v you_o to_o read_v the_o 22th_o chapter_n of_o st._n luke_n 31_o &_o 32th_o verse_n simon_n behold_v satan_n have_v desire_v to_o have_v you_o that_o he_o may_v sift_v you_o as_o wheat_n but_o i_o have_v pray_v for_o thou_o ut_fw-la non_fw-la deficiat_fw-la fides_fw-la tua_fw-la remark_n that_o satan_n desire_v to_o sift_v all_o the_o apostle_n but_o we_o see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v pray_v here_o for_o st._n peter_n only_o rogavi_fw-la pro_fw-la te_fw-la petre_n that_o his_o faith_n may_v not_o fail_v wherefore_o according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o your_o own_o bible_n st._n peter_n supremacy_n remain_v yet_o in_o his_o successor_n and_o shall_v do_v to_o the_o world_n end_n ut_fw-la fides_fw-la tua_fw-la non_fw-la deficiat_fw-la what_o say_v st._n matthew_n concern_v the_o infallibility_n of_o this_o spiritual_a supremacy_n it_o be_v in_o the_o 23th_o chap._n 2_o verse_n the_o scribes_z and_o pharisee_n sit_v on_o moses_n seat_n all_o therefore_o they_o bid_v you_o observe_v that_o observe_v and_o do_v how_o can_v christ_n bid_v the_o jew_n observe_v and_o do_v all_o that_o he_o shall_v bid_v by_o those_o that_o sit_v in_o moses_n chair_n if_o they_o can_v err_v and_o why_o shall_v not_o we_o conclude_v that_o christ_n have_v no_o less_o preserve_v the_o truth_n of_o christian_a religion_n in_o the_o chair_n of_o st._n peter_n which_o be_v in_o the_o new_a and_o not_o in_o the_o typick_a law_n therefore_o the_o power_n st._n peter_n receive_v once_o for_o himself_o and_o his_o successor_n do_v never_o fail_v nor_o ever_o shall_v st._n john_n in_o the_o 11_o chap._n of_o his_o gospel_n and_o 51_o verse_n speak_v of_o caiaphas_n the_o high_a priest_n say_v much_o to_o this_o very_a purpose_n and_o this_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o himself_o but_o
