of_o the_o chief_a pastor_n and_o infinite_a number_n of_o the_o member_n thereof_o 6._o what_o a_o lamentable_a blow_n will_v the_o nullify_n of_o presbyterian_a ordination_n give_v unto_o the_o church_n of_o god_n especial_o the_o reform_a church_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o in_o the_o reform_a church_n their_o ordination_n be_v but_o presbyterial_a no_o not_o any_o better_a in_o denwark_n or_o those_o other_o country_n where_o they_o have_v superintendent_o for_o those_o superintendent_o have_v all_o their_o authority_n under_o christ_n from_o the_o magistrate_n and_o presbytery_n without_o any_o diocesan_n at_o all_o and_o moreover_o some_o of_o those_o church_n when_o they_o have_v bishop_n cast_v they_o out_o and_o other_o when_o they_o be_v offer_v refuse_v they_o yet_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o how_o great_a concord_n we_o have_v live_v with_o they_o since_o the_o reformation_n and_o those_o that_o do_v now_o disow_v they_o i_o will_v have_v they_o speak_v out_o that_o the_o world_n may_v know_v they_o further_o if_o the_o want_n of_o prelatical_a ordination_n will_v unchurch_n we_o than_o great_a fault_n will_v unchurch_n a_o people_n much_o more_o and_o then_o what_o will_v become_v both_o of_o the_o eastern_a and_o western_a church_n 7._o will_v not_o the_o nullify_n of_o presbyterian_a ordination_n give_v support_v to_o the_o hypochondraick_a fear_n of_o melancholy_a person_n lest_o some_o in_o the_o clergy_n shall_v too_o much_o indulge_v the_o unreformed_a interest_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o bellarmine_n great_a argument_n against_o the_o reform_a church_n be_v hence_o because_o they_o have_v no_o legal_a bishop_n and_o therefore_o no_o minister_n and_o therefore_o no_o sacrament_n no_o church_n now_o if_o any_o among_o we_o shall_v deny_v the_o pope_n to_o be_v antichrist_n and_o the_o papist_n idolater_n and_o acknowledge_v their_o priest_n to_o be_v true_a minister_n and_o their_o administration_n firm_a but_o deny_v all_o the_o protestant_a minister_n not_o prelatical_a to_o be_v true_a minister_n and_o their_o administration_n valid_a who_o will_v think_v etc._n etc._n 8._o what_o can_v be_v gain_v by_o create_v this_o necessity_n of_o reordination_n whether_o parson_n or_o people_n or_o parsonage_n not_o parson_n for_o its_o very_a observable_a that_o multitude_n will_v never_o submit_v to_o reordination_n and_o of_o those_o that_o do_v submit_v many_o do_v it_o as_o to_o a_o unlawful_a thing_n on_o the_o imposer_n part_n though_o lawful_a on_o their_o own_o part_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o gain_v at_o all_o and_o few_o other_o that_o i_o can_v hear_v of_o not_o many_o of_o the_o people_n for_o its_o most_o certain_a that_o a_o huge_a number_n of_o the_o sober_a people_n of_o this_o nation_n be_v much_o sade_v at_o the_o loss_n of_o those_o faithful_a minister_n that_o submit_v not_o to_o reordination_n and_o no_o small_a number_n sade_v at_o those_o that_o submit_v fear_v that_o they_o will_v prove_v time-servers_a and_o turn_v to_o any_o thing_n yea_o the_o more_o studious_a sort_n of_o the_o gentry_n that_o read_v bishop_n usher_n bishop_n fuel_n etc._n etc._n observe_v the_o variation_n from_o the_o old_a way_n and_o be_v not_o well_o please_v yea_o many_o of_o the_o worst_a of_o all_o the_o people_n can_v see_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o drunkard_n and_o sober_a man_n painful_a preacher_n and_o idle_a drone_n but_o then_o parsonage_n and_o other_o live_n be_v gain_v there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o then_o where_o shall_v we_o find_v man_n to_o deserve_v they_o to_o engross_v into_o pluralist_n hand_n and_o settle_v idle_a drunken_a insufficient_a person_n that_o will_v be_v content_a with_o little_a more_o than_o they_o deserve_v
