to_o the_o people_n and_o apply_v to_o this_o what_o i_o have_v before_o show_v in_o the_o word_n of_o st._n clement_n who_o name_n be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n that_o the_o

of_o their_o schism_n and_o let_v they_o not_o think_v their_o crime_n to_o be_v nothing_o because_o they_o have_v be_v teach_v with_o their_o nurse_n milk_n to_o have_v the_o utmost_a abhorrence_n to_o the_o very_a name_n of_o a_o bishop_n though_o they_o can_v not_o tell_v why_o let_v they_o rather_o consider_v serious_o the_o misfortune_n of_o their_o education_n which_o shall_v make_v they_o

scripture_n and_o all_o these_o must_v be_v popish_a if_o this_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n but_o be_v they_o willing_a to_o be_v undeceive_v then_o they_o must_v know_v that_o episcopacy_n have_v none_o so_o great_a a_o enemy_n as_o the_o papacy_n which_o will_v engross_v the_o whole_a episcopal_a power_n into_o the_o single_a see_v of_o rome_n by_o make_v all_o other_o bishop_n absolute_o

when_o the_o pope_n can_v not_o carry_v his_o cause_n against_o episcopacy_n in_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n he_o take_v another_o method_n and_o that_o be_v to_o set_v up_o a_o vast_a number_n of_o

in_o answer_n to_o the_o objection_n of_o the_o age_n of_o popery_n in_o this_o kingdom_n that_o all_o those_o error_n even_o idolatry_n itself_o do_v not_o un-church_n nor_o break_v succession_n and_o two_o i_o have_v exemplify_v this_o from_o the_o parallel_n of_o the_o jewish_a church_n under_o the_o law_n then_o apply_v of_o this_o to_o our_o case_n i_o have_v vindicare_v episcopacy_n from_o the_o imputation_n of_o popery_n i_o will_v now_o go_v on_o to_o further_a reason_n why_o the_o succession_n of_o our_o present_a bishop_n be_v not_o hurt_v by_o that_o deluge_n of_o popery_n which_o once_o cover_v the_o face_n of_o this_o land_n iv_o the_o end_n of_o all_o government_n as_o well_o in_o the_o church_n as_o state_n be_v to_o preserve_v peace_n unity_n and_o order_n and_o this_o can_v be_v do_v if_o the_o maladministration_n of_o the_o officer_n in_o the_o government_n do_v vacat_fw-la their_o commission_n without_o its_o be_v recalled_a by_o those_o who_o give_v
