world_n end_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n ordain_v bishop_n to_o succeed_v they_o so_o do_v the_o ancient_a father_n in_o the_o pure_a time_n this_o course_n continue_v ever_o since_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v in_o a_o superiority_n above_o other_o of_o the_o clergy_n and_o to_o the_o bishop_n who_o they_o constitute_v to_o succeed_v themselves_o in_o place_n over_o the_o clergy_n they_o give_v a_o superior_a authority_n neither_o do_v they_o either_o practice_n or_o ever_o mention_v that_o parity_n in_o power_n which_o the_o presbyterian_n so_o much_o endeavour_v to_o introduce_v and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n never_o understand_v the_o word_n as_o these_o man_n do_v viz._n that_o they_o shall_v disallow_v of_o bishop_n in_o superior_a authority_n above_o other_o of_o the_o clergy_n to_o make_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n more_o evident_a i_o appeal_v to_o saint_n paul_n who_o give_v to_o timothy_n and_o titus_n
