prove_v that_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n have_v any_o superiority_n over_o the_o seventy_o either_o of_o ordination_n or_o jurisdiction_n or_o that_o there_o be_v any_o subordination_n of_o the_o

that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o superiority_n and_o inferiority_n between_o officer_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n no_o man_n will_v deny_v but_o that_o in_o christ_n time_n there_o be_v apostle_n evangelist_n prophet_n pastor_n and_o teacher_n and_o that_o the_o apostle_n be_v superior_a to_o evangelist_n and_o pastor_n but_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o one_o apostle_n have_v any_o superiority_n over_o another_o apostle_n or_o one_o evangelist_n over_o another_o and_o why_o then_o shall_v one_o presbyter_n be_v over_o another_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o though_o we_o shall_v grant_v a_o superiority_n between_o the_o twelve_o and_o the_o seventy_o yet_o this_o will_v not_o prove_v the_o question_n in_o hand_n because_o the_o question_n be_v concern_v officer_n of_o the_o
