for_o we_o who_o be_v assure_v in_o our_o conscience_n that_o their_o presbyterial_a parity_n and_o laical_a presbytery_n be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o discipline_n establish_v by_o the_o apostle_n

to_o the_o expectation_n of_o the_o whole_a synod_n we_o add_v express_v exception_n against_o the_o suppress_a article_n with_o some_o touch_n also_o of_o argument_n against_o they_o which_o our_o

who_o person_n and_o gravity_n it_o may_v be_v the_o better_o take_v by_o the_o civil_a deputee_n of_o the_o state_n there_o present_a therein_o he_o profess_v and_o declare_v our_o utter_a dissent_n in_o that_o point_n and_o further_o show_v that_o by_o our_o saviour_n a_o parity_n of_o minister_n be_v never_o institute_v that_o christ_n ordain_v twelve_o apostle_n and_o seventy_o disciple_n that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o twelve_o be_v above_o the_o other_o that_o the_o church_n preserve_v this_o order_n leave_v by_o our_o saviour_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o extraordinary_a authority_n of_o the_o apostle_n cease_v yet_o their_o ordinary_a authority_n continue_v in_o bishop_n who_o succeed_v they_o who_o be_v by_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o leave_v in_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n to_o ordain_v minister_n and_o to_o see_v that_o they_o who_o be_v so_o ordain_v shall_v preach_v no_o other_o doctrine_n that_o in_o a_o inferior_a degree_n the_o

question_n controvert_v by_o subscription_n but_o only_o by_o vocal_a suffrage_n which_o give_v no_o opportunity_n of_o put_v in_o a_o write_a protestation_n whereas_o if_o we_o have_v subscribe_v our_o name_n unto_o that_o confession_n we_o will_v infallible_o have_v add_v with_o the_o same_o pen_n our_o exception_n against_o the_o article_n concern_v discipline_n second_o in_o that_o vocal_a

just_a cause_n either_o by_o write_a protestation_n or_o better_a mean_n but_o when_o as_o neither_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n in_o who_o hear_v our_o exception_n be_v constant_o utter_v do_v
