neither_o indeed_o have_v the_o church_n or_o ever_o shall_v altogether_o want_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n see_v faith_n be_v by_o hear_v yet_o we_o see_v the_o sin_n of_o man_n enforce_v the_o lord_n thereunto_o and_o his_o just_a judgement_n which_o begin_v at_o his_o own_o house_n require_v the_o same_o that_o it_o have_v often_o come_v to_o pass_v as_o it_o be_v express_o

there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o distinguish_v the_o same_o from_o the_o false_a the_o one_o that_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o calling_n proceed_v from_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o be_v ordain_v either_o immediate_o by_o himself_o or_o mediatlie_o by_o his_o apostle_n the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o call_n be_v lawful_a that_o be_v such_o a_o call_n as_o be_v square_v according_a to_o the_o prescript_n law_n of_o the_o doctrine_n and_o discipline_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o three_o be_v the_o prescript_n administration_n of_o the_o holy_a calling_n now_o all_o these_o thing_n we_o advouch_v to_o have_v be_v by_o a_o little_a and_o a_o little_a utterlie_o overthrow_v by_o the_o papistical_a tyranny_n which_o with_o the_o apostle_n we_o may_v just_o call_v the_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n 3_o and_o first_o we_o affirm_v that_o the_o calling_n of_o the_o popish_a clergy_n which_o they_o express_v by_o that_o proud_a title_n of_o hierarchy_n be_v in_o part_n altogether_o false_a that_o be_v such_o as_o have_v at_o the_o first_o be_v invent_v by_o man_n and_o afterward_o become_v mere_o devilish_a and_o in_o part_n counterfeit_v that_o be_v such_o as_o only_o retain_v the_o name_n of_o true_a calling_n which_o they_o abollish_v in_o deed_n 4_o these_o function_n follow_v we_o hold_v to_o be_v altogether_o false_a &_o destitute_a of_o all_o true_a foundation_n namely_o the_o primacy_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n over_o all_o church_n the_o cardinalship_n patriarkship_n archiepiscopalship_n &_o brief_o that_o whole_a episcopal_a degree_n of_o

reason_n among_o the_o rest_n be_v convince_v not_o to_o be_v apostolical_a and_o therefore_o to_o have_v no_o warrant_n in_o god_n word_n the_o one_o because_o the_o apostle_n be_v of_o equal_a authority_n &_o power_n among_o themselves_o as_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o commandment_n of_o christ_n who_o send_v they_o &_o also_o by_o the_o record_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v do_v by_o they_o the_o other_o because_o that_o the_o apostolical_a function_n be_v appoint_v for_o the_o lay_n of_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o christian_n catholic_a church_n now_o that_o the_o same_o be_v

be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o successor_n of_o the_o apostolical_a authority_n either_o from_o the_o plant_n of_o new_a church_n or_o for_o the_o restore_n of_o those_o that_o be_v already_o plant_v 6_o
