weigh_v my_o word_n well_o 144._o every_o bishop_n be_v a_o presbyter_n and_o a_o priest_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o these_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n make_v but_o one_o order_n it_o

in_o which_o may_v beget_v a_o doubt_n it_o be_v confess_v by_o all_o that_o every_o bishop_n be_v a_o presbyter_n but_o a_o presbyter_n be_v not_o a_o deacon_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o there_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o difference_n betwixt_o a_o bishop_n and_o a_o presbyter_n then_o betwixt_o a_o presbyter_n and_o a_o deacon_n since_o therefore_o a_o presbyter_n differ_v in_o order_n from_o a_o deacon_n it_o seem_v to_o follow_v that_o a_o bishop_n differ_v not_o in_o order_n from_o a_o presbyter_n nor_o be_v it_o without_o some_o doubt_n that_o you_o say_v that_o order_n
