retract_v what_o he_o say_v in_o his_o last_o it_o be_v as_o follow_v sir_n what_o in_o my_o last_o i_o appeal_v to_o dr._n burnet_n for_o be_v in_o part_n a_o mistake_n who_o do_v not_o own_o

will_v first_o set_v down_o the_o word_n of_o the_o canon_n itself_o and_o then_o endeavour_v to_o answer_v your_o question_n concern_v it_o and_o first_o the_o word_n of_o the_o six_o canon_n of_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a be_v as_o follow_v let_v ancient_a custom_n still_o take_v place_n those_o that_o be_v in_o egypt_n libya_n and_o pentapolis_n that_o the_o bishop_n of_o alexandria_n have_v power_n over_o all_o these_o because_o such_o also_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o according_o in_o antioch_n and_o other_o province_n let_v the_o privilege_n be_v

be_v for_o this_o reason_n no_o bishop_n consequent_o can_v make_v none_o else_o so_o and_o therefore_o all_o the_o bishop_n that_o have_v be_v since_o in_o the_o english_a church_n derive_v their_o
