A93888	An ansvver to a letter vvritten at Oxford, and superscribed to Dr. Samuel Turner, concerning the Church, and the revenues thereof. Wherein is shewed, how impossible it is for the King with a good conscience to yeeld to the change of church-government by bishops, or to the alienating the lands of the Church.

it_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o though_o we_o shall_v yield_v that_o the_o apostle_n only_o do_v institute_v bishop_n yet_o in_o this_o revel._n christ_n himself_o immediate_o in_o his_o

for_o the_o interpret_n of_o text_n then_o that_o very_o same_o mean_n whereby_o i_o know_v the_o text_n itself_o to_o be_v text_n sure_o the_o same_o course_n whereby_o i_o know_v the_o epistle_n to_o timothy_n and_o titus_n to_o have_v be_v write_v by_o s._n paul_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o best_a course_n to_o understand_v the_o sense_n of_o those_o epistle_n and_o if_o i_o therefore_o

be_v indeed_o the_o ground_n of_o our_o dictionary_n how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o signify_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o

28._o go_v teach_v all_o nation_n and_o baptise_v they_o but_o in_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o eucharist_n he_o speak_v those_o word_n too_o but_o only_o to_o the_o twelve_o drink_v you_o all_o of_o this_o matth._n 26._o i_o demand_v then_o how_o shall_v i_o know_v that_o when_o our_o saviour_n speak_v those_o word_n unto_o the_o eleven_o he_o speak_v they_o only_o as_o to_o lawful_a

reply_v that_o he_o there_o speak_v but_o of_o the_o presbyter_n alone_o whereof_o many_o be_v at_o that_o time_n at_o corinth_n as_o when_o in_o the_o 5._o chap._n he_o seem_v to_o chide_v the_o whole_a church_n for_o not_o excommunicate_v the_o incestuous_a person_n yet_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o mean_v none_o but_o the_o man_n in_o government_n as_o sure_o all_o presbyterian_n will_v allow_v i_o i_o know_v not_o what_o can_v be_v say_v but_o to_o make_v it_o appear_v out_o of_o the_o father_n and_o other_o that_o the_o whole_a christian_a church_n never_o take_v the_o word_n in_o that_o
