and_o i_o judge_v not_o but_o i_o do_v perceive_v this_o that_o it_o have_v expose_v he_o much_o and_o that_o not_o only_o to_o such_o a_o saucy_a man_n as_o mr._n alsop_n to_o style_v he_o this_o weathercock_n but_o to_o such_o a_o serious_a man_n as_o mr._n baxter_n to_o drive_v he_o into_o such_o distress_n for_o so_o long_o i_o must_v still_o say_v as_o the_o doctor_n be_v engage_v to_o hold_v the_o government_n of_o episcopacy_n as_o it_o be_v exercise_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n to_o be_v of_o divine_a right_n he_o must_v maintain_v also_o her_o proper_a constitute_a officer_n to_o be_v of_o christ_n appointment_n and_o then_o find_v out_o a_o constitutive_a head_n of_o it_o or_o he_o be_v go_v and_o see_v he_o can_v do_v this_o but_o be_v force_v to_o grant_v there_o be_v no_o such_o head_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o his_o cause_n be_v lose_v i_o will_v sum_v up_o my_o answer_n again_o the_o doctor_n be_v determination_n be_v we_o deny_v the_o necessity_n of_o any_o such_o regent_n part._n for_o a_o national_a consent_n be_v as_o sufficient_a to_o make_v a_o national_a church_n as_o a_o universal_a consent_n to_o make_v a_o catholic_n church_n it_o be_v well_o he_o say_v as_o sufficient_a because_o that_o may_v excuse_v he_o something_o if_o neither_o of_o they_o be_v sufficient_a as_o it_o appear_v they_o be_v not_o without_o a_o head_n i_o have_v distinguish_v therefore_o two_o consent_n a_o consent_n that_o go_v to_o the_o make_v a_o society_n or_o church_n and_o a_o consent_n for_o come_v into_o the_o same_o when_o it_o be_v make_v a_o consent_n that_o go_v to_o the_o constitution_n and_o a_o consent_n that_o go_v to_o put_v a_o man_n under_o the_o administration_n when_o the_o doctor_n argue_v from_o the_o catholic_n to_o a_o national_a church_n that_o as_o a_o universal_a consent_n make_v the_o catholic_n church_n so_o a_o national_a consent_v the_o national_a church_n he_o must_v not_o be_v understand_v to_o mean_v it_o of_o the_o former_a consent_n because_o there_o be_v no_o such_o consent_n as_o that_o imaginable_a in_o regard_n to_o the_o catholic_n church_n there_o can_v be_v no_o come_n together_o possible_o of_o the_o community_n of_o the_o whole_a christian_a world_n to_o agree_v to_o such_o a_o constitution_n the_o catholic_n church_n be_v not_o make_v by_o the_o consent_n of_o man_n but_o be_v of_o god_n ordination_n altogether_o nor_o can_v he_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o latter_a consent_n because_o a_o consent_n to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o a_o church_n or_o society_n already_o make_v be_v not_o that_o consent_n which_o go_v to_o the_o make_v it_o a_o consent_n to_o be_v a_o christian_n or_o of_o the_o church_n catholic_n be_v to_o consent_v to_o have_v christ_n for_o my_o lord_n and_o head_n but_o how_o a_o consent_n to_o have_v christ_n for_o one_o head_n shall_v prove_v that_o consent_n make_v a_o church_n without_o a_o head_n be_v a_o reason_n i_o be_o yet_o to_o understand_v for_o the_o former_a consent_n there_o be_v here_o none_o of_o it_o and_o from_o the_o latter_a there_o can_v be_v no_o argument_n again_o the_o catholic_n church_n visible_a in_o its_o nature_n can_v never_o be_v organical_a it_o have_v a_o head_n and_o all_o the_o particular_a church_n in_o the_o earth_n be_v the_o part_n of_o it_o nay_o there_o be_v at_o first_o universal_a officer_n gift_v with_o proper_a gift_n as_o the_o gift_n of_o tongue_n suitable_a to_o such_o a_o office_n but_o these_o be_v only_o to_o gather_v particular_a church_n throughout_o the_o world_n and_o it_o never_o be_v the_o design_n of_o the_o head_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o form_n of_o polity_n introduce_v into_o a_o ecumenical_a society_n that_o by_o the_o organ_n of_o bishop_n arch-bishop_n patriarch_n general_a council_n and_o a_o pope_n a_o catholic_n visible_a government_n shall_v be_v administer_v so_o as_o to_o make_v the_o whole_a earth_n a_o political_a church_n and_o consequent_o the_o doctor_n argue_v from_o the_o catholic_n to_o a_o national_a church_n can_v be_v good_a not_o only_o because_o there_o be_v no_o such_o constitution_n as_o this_o by_o consent_n imaginable_a which_o i_o shall_v say_v principal_o as_o to_o the_o catholic_n church_n the_o true_a head_n of_o this_o church_n be_v not_o choose_v by_o man_n consent_n and_o the_o false_a head_n i_o hope_v we_o be_v never_o like_a to_o choose_v but_o because_o upon_o supposition_n that_o the_o doctor_n consent_n some_o way_n or_o other_o as_o he_o mean_v do_v make_v it_o he_o must_v suppose_v this_o universal_a church_n as_o such_o to_o be_v on_o earth_n a_o complete_a organise_v body_n or_o he_o must_v make_v the_o national_a church_n a_o in-organical_a body_n and_o by_o either_o way_n he_o drop_v his_o cause_n i_o do_v now_o wonder_v therefore_o at_o the_o doctor_n what_o these_o first_o apprehension_n of_o something_o indeed_o he_o know_v not_o what_o in_o his_o mind_n shall_v mean_v how_o a_o man_n who_o part_n be_v so_o great_a shall_v be_v so_o slender_a in_o his_o reason_n and_o why_o he_o shall_v undertake_v the_o resolution_n of_o such_o a_o point_n as_o he_o be_v no_o body_n at_o at_o all_o the_o doctor_n certain_o have_v no_o reason_n therefore_o to_o insult_v over_o any_o body_n or_o contemn_v any_o and_o much_o less_o to_o pity_n mr._n baxter_n which_o pity_n by_o interpretation_n be_v slight_a mr._n baxter_n be_v a_o man_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v pity_v nor_o indeed_o to_o be_v envy_v for_o we_o
