consequent_o while_o there_o be_v apostle_n there_o be_v no_o bishop_n i_o speak_v here_o but_o after_o the_o excellent_a judgement_n of_o our_o late_a king_n the_o church_n than_o have_v recourse_n

schism_n and_o faction_n they_o choose_v out_o one_o to_o be_v bishop_n as_o jerome_n or_o whether_o at_o first_o they_o be_v all_o bishop_n and_o as_o their_o territory_n increase_v and_o the_o
