of_o man_n that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v lay_v upon_o the_o person_n be_v impute_v to_o the_o function_n as_o if_o forsooth_o no_v such_o miscarriage_n may_v befall_v this_o their_o novel_a kind_n of_o government_n the_o romish_a antichrist_n with_o his_o bishop_n archbishop_n patriarch_n and_o metropolitanes_n have_v so_o trouble_v and_o entangle_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n that_o tyranny_n

elder_n and_o bishop_n so_o common_o call_v therefore_o this_o whole_a matter_n seem_v involue_v in_o more_o dark_a and_o thick_a mist_n of_o obscurity_n unto_o such_o as_o be_v not_o expert_a in_o

for_o the_o general_a as_o the_o particular_a and_o this_o must_v we_o conceive_v of_o this_o word_n elder_a that_o in_o the_o capacity_n of_o his_o signification_n be_v indifferent_o entertain_v all_o degree_n of_o pastor_n so_o that_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o may_v general_o be_v call_v elder_n when_o as_o proper_o the_o low_a degree_n of_o pastor_n be_v best_a know_v and_o most_o fit_o call_v by_o that_o name_n beside_o all_o this_o there_o be_v in_o many_o word_n a_o etymology_n or_o proper_a interpretation_n according_a to_o the_o which_o also_o it_o so_o fall_v out_o that_o

very_o easy_o be_v exemplify_v in_o civil_a thing_n and_o name_n where_o we_o may_v well_o perceive_v the_o like_a use_n of_o no_o less_o title_n as_o duke_n earl_n knight_n lord_n and_o baron_n all_o which_o title_n be_v give_v to_o many_o which_o differ_v much_o in_o honour_n and_o dignity_n neither_o be_v it_o any_o new_a or_o insolent_a thing_n for_o one_o mighty_a king_n to_o have_v many_o
