with_o many_o thing_n of_o general_a concernment_n as_o 1._o first_o that_o king_n and_o bishop_n be_v of_o such_o inseparable_a dependence_n that_o they_o must_v needs_o stand_v and_o fall_v together_o and_o all_o who_o be_v enemy_n to_o one_o must_v needs_o be_v enemy_n to_o the_o other_o nor_o be_v this_o passionate_o affirm_v by_o the_o bishop_n for_o if_o man_n may_v argue_v a_o posteriori_fw-la from_o the_o effect_n to_o find_v out_o the_o cause_n or_o that_o man_n may_v take_v warning_n from_o other_o harm_n then_o do_v i_o affirm_v that_o no_o where_o in_o the_o christian_a world_n that_o ever_o christian_a man_n if_o they_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v call_v so_o do_v ever_o cast_v off_o their_o obedience_n to_o episcopal_a government_n but_o when_o they_o acquire_v force_n proportionable_a to_o their_o will_n they_o do_v or_o do_v attempt_v to_o subvert_v the_o state_n government_n either_o in_o person_n or_o specie_fw-la beside_o in_o reason_n if_o man_n may_v arrogate_v to_o themselves_o a_o licentiousness_n of_o cast_v off_o their_o obedience_n to_o the_o church_n what_o then_o can_v restrain_v they_o to_o their_o obedience_n to_o the_o state_n for_o it_o be_v the_o same_o spirit_n which_o command_v man_n to_o hear_v the_o church_n and_o to_o submit_v to_o high_a power_n and_o if_o this_o be_v not_o to_o the_o church_n govern_v by_o bishop_n i_o will_v desire_v d._n e._n to_o show_v any_o church_n in_o christ_n endome_n before_o calvin_n otherwise_o govern_v and_o certain_o d._n e._n upon_o better_a consideration_n can_v believe_v our_o saviour_n to_o have_v with_o his_o blood_n establish_v a_o confuse_a church_n to_o continue_v till_o his_o next_o come_v again_o without_o any_o order_n or_o government_n especial_o have_v the_o constant_a custom_n of_o christianity_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o he_o that_o be_v possess_v have_v title_n good_a enough_o until_o he_o be_v evict_v by_o a_o better_a title_n or_o argument_n then_o d._n e._n can_v find_v against_o this_o how_o much_o d._n e._n be_v in_o his_o judgement_n for_o the_o order_n of_o bishop_n will_v appear_v by_o and_o by_o in_o his_o second_o objection_n against_o the_o bishop_n assertion_n 1._o d._n e_o his_o first_o argument_n against_o the_o bishop_n assertion_n be_v that_o it_o be_v clear_a from_o story_n that_o king_n be_v in_o all_o part_n of_o the_o world_n in_o their_o most_o flourish_a state_n defore_o ever_o bishop_n be_v hear_v of_o and_o no_o reason_n can_v be_v give_v why_o what_o have_v once_o be_v may_v not_o be_v with_o the_o same_o convenience_n again_o a_o pretty_a convenient_a argument_n this_o be_v why_o certain_o d._n e._n be_v not_o so_o very_a a_o heathen_a as_o not_o to_o believe_v the_o bishop_n to_o be_v a_o christian_n or_o that_o the_o bishop_n do_v not_o speak_v to_o christian_n or_o affirm_v this_o of_o a_o christian_a state_n why_o let_v d._n e._n show_v that_o ever_o in_o the_o christian_a world_n episcopal_a government_n be_v reject_v and_o yet_o regal_a continue_v unless_o in_o scotland_n when_o king_n james_n be_v a_o child_n and_o make_v a_o instrument_n to_o advance_v the_o kirk_n seditious_a end_n and_o he_o say_v something_o unless_o d._n e._n by_o his_o convenient_a argument_n will_v utter_o abolish_v christianity_n from_o we_o and_o introduce_v paganism_n and_o heathenism_n again_o amnog_v which_o he_o very_o handsome_o prosecute_v in_o his_o next_o argument_n viz._n 2._o bishop_n as_o they_o be_v establish_v by_o law_n in_o england_n be_v pure_o the_o king_n subordinate_a minister_n in_o the_o management_n of_o ecclestastical_a affair_n which_o his_o majesty_n may_v confer_v upon_o whae_n order_n of_o man_n he_o please_v though_o they_o be_v as_o much_o lay_v person_n at_o you_o or_o i_o be_o it_o be_v therefore_o very_o injurious_a to_o the_o king_n authority_n to_o aver_v that_o he_o can_v not_o otherways_o uphold_v and_o maintain_v it_o than_o by_o preserve_v the_o undue_a and_o as_o some_o think_v antichristian_a dignity_n and_o prelation_n of_o his_o inferior_a officer_n so_o that_o one_o of_o these_o two_o consequence_n do_v inevitable_o follow_v either_o that_o christ_n leave_v no_o episcopal_a power_n and_o minister_n in_o his_o church_n or_o else_o that_o by_o the_o law_n establish_v in_o england_n it_o and_o they_o be_v utter_o suppress_v and_o the_o bishop_n in_o all_o act_n of_o preach_v baptise_v consecrate_v ordain_v etc._n etc._n be_v not_o christ_n but_o pure_o the_o king_n minister_n and_o in_o truth_n i_o do_v not_o know_v any_o thing_n which_o have_v render_v christianity_n and_o all_o christian_a religion_n nay_o and_o god_n take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o to_o redeem_v and_o save_v mankind_n so_o vile_a as_o this_o argument_n have_v do_v i_o desire_v to_o be_v satisfy_v as_o a_o christian_a to_o know_v what_o christ_n have_v establish_v that_o do_v any_o way_n repugn_v my_o duty_n as_o a_o man_n which_o i_o owe_v my_o king_n i_o be_o sure_a he_o most_o certain_o and_o positive_o command_v all_o obedience_n to_o king_n and_o high_a power_n i_o be_o sure_a the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n the_o preach_a of_o christ_n crucify_v the_o burial_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o consecrate_v proper_a place_n for_o god_n worship_n and_o service_n and_o ordain_v separate_v person_n for_o such_o purpose_n no_o way_n hinder_v the_o king_n supremany_n over_o all_o the_o person_n of_o his_o subject_n even_o in_o these_o very_a case_n but_o they_o be_v as_o much_o his_o subject_n after_o such_o ordination_n as_o before_o nay_o i_o affirm_v that_o in_o a_o church_n plant_v the_o free_a exercise_n of_o this_o power_n in_o all_o king_n dominion_n and_o all_o glebe_n and_o endowment_n whatsoever_o be_v donation_n and_o concession_n from_o they_o nor_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o christian_n when_o there_o be_v a_o christian_a church_n and_o no_o christian_a state_n though_o d._n e._n think_v it_o absurd_a and_o insignificant_a to_o distinguish_v they_o ever_o better_a to_o prince_n in_o their_o obedience_n than_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n have_v thus_o show_v that_o the_o bishop_n nor_o any_o thing_n ordain_v by_o our_o saviour_n be_v any_o way_n injurious_a to_o the_o king_n i_o desire_v the_o reader_n to_o take_v notice_n how_o much_o d._n e._n have_v verify_v his_o judgement_n for_o the_o order_n of_o bishop_n which_o make_v it_o a_o mere_a civil_a sanction_n and_o so_o have_v not_o any_o dependence_n on_o or_o creation_n by_o christ_n 3._o he_o say_v that_o bishop_n be_v of_o so_o little_a use_n to_o support_v regal_a dignity_n which_o be_v found_v upon_o a_o distinct_a basis_n of_o its_o own_o that_o upon_o enquiry_n it_o will_v be_v find_v none_o have_v be_v great_a enemy_n to_o it_o than_o some_o bishop_n for_o want_v of_o argument_n to_o show_v that_o bishop_n be_v no_o support_n to_o regal_a power_n d._n e._n here_o only_o affirm_v against_o some_o bishop_n to_o have_v be_v enemy_n to_o it_o and_o i_o can_v tell_v d._n e._n of_o twenty_o time_n more_o bishop_n have_v be_v active_a &_o suffer_v for_o it_o and_o so_o d._n e._n if_o he_o will_v have_v the_o personal_a fault_n of_o particular_a man_n
