they_o hold_v the_o high_a ordinary_a office_n in_o the_o church_n next_o unto_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o for_o by_o the_o epistle_n of_o timothy_n and_o titus_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o

apostle_n ordain_v these_o over_o they_o again_o and_o this_o be_v manifest_a in_o that_o titus_n have_v charge_n over_o diverse_a city_n whilst_o therefore_o there_o be_v this_o evidence_n for_o their_o office_n and_o whilst_o there_o be_v that_o evidence_n before_o note_v that_o our_o arch-bishop_n succeed_v they_o in_o that_o office_n and_o while_o the_o church_n ever_o hold_v a_o cessation_n of_o apostle_n and_o the_o apostle_n 1._o cor._n 4_o 9_o say_v i_o think_v that_o god_n have_v set_v four_o we_o the_o last_o apostle_n &c_n &c_n we_o have_v good_a reason_n not_o to_o suffer_v other_o office_n to_o usurp_v authority_n over_o arch-bishop_n or_o any_o arch-bishopps_a to_o be_v subjugate_v unto_o any_o other_o ecclesiastical_a ministration_n but_o if_o we_o permit_v the_o continuance_n of_o those_o huge_a extent_n whereof_o we_o read_v then_o as_o necessary_o many_o arch-bishopdomes_a yea_o patriarchdome_n must_v be_v comprise_v therein_o so_o the_o bishop_n of_o that_o seat_n must_v be_v advance_v over_o and_o exercise_v a_o ministration_n ovet_v arch-bishopps_a yea_o over_o patriarch_n which_o thing_n what_o be_v it_o but_o both_o a_o evertion_n of_o the_o

arch-bishop_n be_v place_v therein_o without_o subiugate_a the_o one_o under_o the_o other_o so_o those_o ancient_a extent_n of_o bound_n aught_o with_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o conversion_n of_o

as_o he_o be_v to_o take_v a_o new_a title_n so_o also_o he_o enter_v into_o a_o new_a ministration_n never_o ordain_v by_o the_o lord_n if_o any_o say_v have_v not_o every_o snccessor_n right_a to_o retain_v the_o bownd_n of_o his_o predecessor_n jurisdiction_n i_o answer_v yes_o where_o there_o be_v no_o prejudice_n thereby_o to_o the_o church_n and_o to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n but_o when_o retayninge_v the_o same_o he_o must_v necessary_o rule_v over_o they_o who_o god_n by_o his_o ordinance_n set_v next_o unto_o apostle_n he_o than_o subvert_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n so_o long_o as_o he_o can_v make_v himself_o a_o apostle_n neither_o cann_v any_o one_o succeedinge_v in_o the_o seat_n of_o a_o apostle_n confer_v upon_o he_o a_o apostle_n dignity_n and_o office_n for_o this_o be_v to_o make_v such_o a_o one_o a_o apostle_n but_o we_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o ask_v of_o such_o a_o one_o the_o sign_n of_o his_o apostleship_n 2._o cor._n 12_o 12._o i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o those_o extent_n of_o jurisdiction_n which_o carry_v with_o they_o a_o bringinge_v into_o the_o church_n power_n and_o ministration_n above_o that_o of_o arch-bishop_n be_v unlawful_a as_o bringinge_v into_o the_o church_n strange_a ministration_n which_o have_v no_o manner_n warrant_v from_o god_n worde_n in_o scripture_n but_o rather_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o polity_n which_o there_o god_n manife_v to_o his_o church_n and_o indeed_o because_o of_o the_o huge_a extent_n of_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n jurisdiction_n we_o find_v that_o above_o arch_a bishopp_n be_v patriarch_n as_o also_o cardinal_n as_o now_o cardinal_n be_v &_o pope_n legate_n and_o a_o rabble_n of_o other_o who_o all_o serve_v rather_o as_o minister_n of_o this_o corruption_n of_o ecclesiastical_a polity_n warrant_v by_o god_n then_o of_o the_o church_n &_o of_o the_o gospel_n for_o how_o many_o be_v the_o officer_n which_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n need_v for_o to_o serve_v he_o only_o in_o the_o execution_n of_o so_o large_a a_o jurisdiction_n as_o now_o he_o exercise_v even_o so_o proportionable_o be_v it_o with_o every_o patriarch_n yea_o with_o every_o arch-bisshop_a when_o he_o have_v a_o jurisdiction_n so_o far_o extend_v four_o as_o that_o neither_o he_o can_v personal_o visit_v convenient_o the_o part_n of_o his_o charge_n nor_o they_o of_o his_o charge_n cann_v convenient_o make_v accusation_n unto_o he_o if_o the_o parishional_a or_o episcopal_a goverment_n fail_v in_o execution_n of_o justice_n but_o now_o seinge_v god_n have_v give_v so_o bless_a testimony_n to_o the_o reforminge_v of_o thing_n by_o his_o word_n in_o scripture_n why_o shall_v not_o such_o office_n be_v cut_v off_o as_o superfluous_a and_o just_o offensive_a which_o exercise_n any_o authority_n over_o the_o arch-bishop_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n shall_v we_o not_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n expect_v a_o reformation_n even_o herein_o aswell_o as_o in_o doctrine_n

therefore_o if_o the_o scripture_n show_v that_o the_o office_n of_o timothy_n &_o titus_n be_v the_o high_a ordinary_a office_n in_o the_o church_n after_o apostle_n cease_v as_o be_v in_o the_o life_n time_n of_o the_o apostle_n next_o to_o the_o apostle_n and_o if_o there_o be_v good_a evidence_n that_o those_o have_v under_o they_o at_o the_o most_o but_o bishopp_n of_o city_n then_o why_o shall_v not_o arch-bishopps_a be_v acknowledge_v as_o succeeder_n into_o their_o office_n and_o consequent_o to_o be_v the_o high_a ecclesiastical_a officer_n which_o god_n send_v the_o church_n with_o among_o the_o nation_n after_o his_o take_v away_o of_o apostle_n if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o those_o who_o succeed_v into_o the_o seat_n of_o timothy_n or_o titus_n and_o other_o like_v they_o be_v patriarch_n not_o arch-bishopps_a than_o i_o demand_n what_o manner_n bishop_n cann_v any_o prove_v that_o either_o timothy_n or_o titus_n or_o the_o next_o successor_n rule_v over_o whither_o be_v they_o archbishos_a or_o only_a bishopp_n of_o city_n sure_o the_o great_a evidence_n of_o pure_a and_o most_o ancient_a tradition_n be_v that_o those_o of_o those_o seat_n be_v first_o account_v

that_o they_o exercise_v authority_n over_o they_o also_o as_o now_o patriarch_n do_v over_o they_o and_o the_o pope_n over_o patriarch_n as_o for_o the_o extendinge_a out_o of_o care_n or_o

so_o excessive_a charge_n or_o jurisdiction_n as_o some_o patriarch_n &_o arch-bishop_n challenge_v much_o less_o shall_v we_o admit_v of_o such_o extention_n when_o we_o see_v that_o it_o be_v discordant_a to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n as_o i_o have_v before_o show_v moreover_o if_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a approve_v of_o such_o large_a &_o excessive_a extent_n of_o care_n and_o

be_v not_o so_o large_a as_o in_o after_o tyme._n have_v the_o pope_n of_o rome_n then_o such_o jurisdiction_n as_o now_o when_o no_o part_n of_o germany_n nor_o other_o nation_n have_v embrace_v the_o faith_n as_o since_o they_o do_v or_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o that_o council_n subjugate_v to_o that_o bishop_n church_n not_o as_o then_o propagate_v if_o not_o then_o neither_o by_o warrant_n of_o holy_a scripture_n nor_o by_o warrant_n of_o that_o council_n have_v that_o bishop_n any_o right_n of_o jurisdiction_n over_o all_o the_o arch-bisshopps_a of_o all_o the_o christian_a nation_n in_o the_o west_n as_o for_o claim_v as_o successor_n to_o the_o apostle_n peter_n it_o be_v strange_a that_o he_o alone_o shall_v make_v a_o claim_n of_o succeedinge_v to_o a_o apostle_n for_o where_o be_v the_o other_o bishop_n who_o claim_v to_o succeed_v to_o this_o or_o that_o apostle_n i_o find_v none_o but_o he_o of_o antioch_n and_o that_o also_o rather_o a_o figment_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n than_o any_o true_a claim_n of_o that_o bishop_n and_o as_o for_o his_o claim_n from_o scripture_n i_o have_v elsew_v here_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v direct_o against_o that_o which_o our_o lord_n command_v to_o his_o apostle_n these_o thing_n consider_v i_o now_o humble_o beseech_v yoursacr_v majesty_n that_o as_o hitherto_o you_o have_v show_v great_a favour_n to_o our_o clergy_n so_o you_o will_v continue_v to_o preserve_v they_o from_o any_o foreign_a and_o unlawful_a ecclesiastical_a power_n which_o will_v challenge_v authority_n over_o they_o prince_n may_v do_v well_o to_o have_v a_o eye_n at_o the_o wisdom_n and_o gracious_a ordinance_n of_o god_n observinge_v with_o what_o power_n ecclesiastical_a he_o apostle_n take_v away_o send_v the_o church_n under_o their_o wing_n for_o sure_o there_o cann_v be_v no_o better_a polity_n of_o ecclesiastical_a government_n for_o prince_n then_o that_o which_o we_o find_v the_o lord_n to_o leave_v in_o the_o church_n after_o his_o take_v away_o of_o apostle_n shall_v the_o lord_n send_v any_o officet_fw-la under_o the_o wing_n of_o prince_n who_o shall_v stretch_v his_o authority_n far_o further_o than_o any_o
