A45153	The question of re-ordination, whether, and how a minister ordained by the Presbytery, may take ordination also by the Bishop? by John Humfrey ...	Humfrey, John, 1621-1719.	1661 (1661)	Wing H3704; ESTC R8105	33,209	104

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

then_o no_o bishop_n indeed_o because_o the_o apostle_n and_o evangelist_n fill_v up_o the_o use_n of_o they_o whether_o the_o minister_n at_o first_o be_v all_o presbyter_n and_o for_o avoid_v of_o 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 people_n come_v in_o they_o ordain_v presbyter_n under_o they_o i_o leave_v to_o the_o several_a palate_n of_o the_o judicious_a this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v certain_a while_o the_o work_n be_v not_o divide_v they_o must_v needs_o be_v both_o but_o the_o same_o office_n unto_o which_o either_o name_n be_v common_a but_o when_o the_o work_n be_v divide_v than_o they_o distinguish_v the_o name_n and_o keep_v they_o up_o according_o see_v the_o right_n honourable_a sir_n william_n morice_n his_o most_o candid_a clear_a and_o impartial_a judgement_n upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n of_o
