therefore_o this_o difference_n between_o the_o archbishop_n and_o pope_n be_v accidental_a and_o not_o touch_v the_o nature_n off_o the_o government_n whereof_o we_o have_v to_o inquire_v be_v

that_o the_o one_o have_v charge_v off_o one_o only_a church_n other_o off_o apryl_o must_v follow_v that_z the_o ministry_n off_o a_o archbishop_n be_v diverse_a from_o the_o bishop_n the_o one_o

for_o amongst_o his_o answer_n to_o the_o place_n off_o the_o ephes_n whereby_o he_o will_v prove_v that_o that_o division_n be_v not_o perfect_a this_o be_v one_o in_o the_o latin_a pamphlet_n that_o

paul_n do_v more_o perfect_o divide_v to_o the_o corinth_n then_o to_o the_o ephes_n he_o be_v deceive_v for_o even_o by_o his_o own_o confession_n he_o speak_v there_o of_o preach_a office_n only_o not_o off_o all_o office_n off_o the_o church_n and_o there_o be_v none_o other_o preach_a office_n but_o those_o which_o he_o reckon_v up_o it_o follow_v that_o he_o make_v there_o a_o perfect_a division_n in_o the_o place_n to_o the_o corinth_n that_o there_o be_v no_o perfect_a division_n although_o the_o d._n word_n he_o change_v yet_o his_o reason_n he_o use_v stand_v still_o that_o the_o

that_o he_o make_v the_o same_o in_o office_n especial_o when_o he_o will_v needs_o separate_v office_n from_o gift_n the_o second_o reason_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o perfect_a division_n because_o
