all_o take_v away_o all_o dominion_n off_o one_o over_o a_o other_o this_o reason_n i_o have_v answer_v before_o be_v unneedfull_a to_o be_v here_o repeat_v so_o remain_v for_o he_o to_o prove_v that_o if_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v mean_v to_o take_v away_o all_o domynion_n off_o the_o apostle_n one_o over_o a_o other_o then_o he_o will_v have_v say_v no_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v great_a amongst_o you_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o give_v out_o this_o sense_n but_o this_o the_o second_o conclude_v that_o our_o saviour_n have_v no_o meaning_n to_o take_v away_o superior_n amongst_o christian_n nothing_o to_o this_o question_n for_o no_o man_n deny_v but_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v superior_n as_o for_o that_o he_o interlace_v off_o peter●_n cheifty_a it_o be_v answer_v afterward_o the_o similitude_n he_o use_v can_v not_o win_v his_o superiority_n off_o one_o minister_n over_o a_o other_o for_o as_o for_o heavenly_a body_n although_o one_o off_o they_o be_v more_o excellent_a than_o a_o other_o yet_o they_o exercise_v no_o dominion_n one_o over_o a_o other_o therefore_o if_o it_o prove_v any_o thing_n it_o prove_v that_o excellency_n off_o

there_o can_v be_v no_o superiority_n of_o one_o over_o a_o other_o in_o the_o church_n unless_o one_o minister_v be_v superior_a to_o another_o but_o that_o he_o pass_v sly_o by_o and_o pick_v a_o
