conclude_v therefore_o according_a to_o the_o true_a etymology_n we_o confess_v the_o name_n to_o be_v good_a and_o do_v use_v it_o in_o our_o service_n book_n and_o otherwise_o know_v that_o it_o

holy_a ghost_n always_o observe_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n they_o call_v the_o one_o priest_n the_o other_o elder_n but_o if_o they_o have_v call_v the_o one_o sacrificer_n and_o the_o other_o

a_o popish_a abuse_n therefore_o to_o call_v minister_n priest_n but_o to_o give_v the_o name_n priest_n to_o sacrificer_n and_o likewise_o it_o be_v a_o abuse_n of_o innovator_n to_o give_v the_o

who_o though_o they_o may_v be_v call_v saecerdote_n that_o be_v sacrificer_n as_o all_o christian_n may_v yet_o presbyter_n they_o can_v true_o be_v call_v but_o how_o do_v he_o prove_v that_o i_o

myself_o with_o the_o name_n of_o minister_n whereto_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o mention_v the_o name_n priest_n the_o proper_a english_a of_o presbyter_n as_o a_o necessary_a argument_n to_o prove_v that_o ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d or_o presbyter_n do_v signify_v a_o minister_n as_o i_o show_v before_o affirm_v that_o they_o may_v as_o well_o make_v question_n whether_o there_o be_v any_o

in_o french_a and_o italian_a be_v derive_v from_o presbyter_n and_o that_o ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d or_o presbyter_n be_v the_o name_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o all_o antiquity_n

or_o the_o name_n presbyter_n whereof_o priest_n be_v the_o true_a english_a to_o signify_v lay-elder_n as_o our_o disciplinarian_n do_v then_o he_o will_v mislike_v our_o church_n which_o use_v the_o

to_o be_v add_v that_o howsoever_o our_o first_o translator_n in_o king_n henry_n his_o time_n avoid_v the_o word_n priest_n translate_v presbyteri_fw-la by_o elder_n yet_o by_o elder_n they_o

lay-presbyter_n but_o this_o i_o prove_v when_o i_o demonstrate_v by_o three_o argument_n that_o ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d ãâã_d or_o presbyter_n do_v signify_v none_o but_o a_o minister_n 13._o for_o
