and_o why_o because_o his_o order_n be_v spiritual_a and_o therefore_o all_o thing_n thereto_o belong_v must_v be_v spiritual_a it_o be_v eternal_a and_o full_a of_o endless_a power_n and_o

of_o the_o office_n must_v be_v agreeable_a unto_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o priesthood_n itself_o and_o therefore_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o mention_v in_o melchisedech_n that_o be_v carnal_a so_o also_o we_o see_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n a_o priest_n after_o that_o order_n have_v execute_v that_o function_n without_o any_o such_o thing_n consecrate_v thereunto_o how_o shall_v

as_o the_o priesthood_n be_v heavenly_a and_o eternal_a so_o be_v all_o thing_n there_o to_o belong_v but_o peradventure_o you_o will_v say_v melchisedech_n be_v a_o priest_n and_o he_o offer_v

of_o his_o function_n he_o have_v a_o altar_n he_o have_v beast_n to_o offer_v and_o no_o doubt_n do_v offer_v i_o answer_v that_o albeit_o melchisedech_n do_v execute_v the_o priest_n office_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o other_o priest_n yet_o that_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o the_o order_n of_o his_o priesthood_n be_v gather_v out_o of_o that_o description_n of_o moses_n in_o which_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o such_o thing_n we_o be_v not_o to_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o have_v father_n and_o mother_n that_o he_o be_v bear_v as_o a_o other_o man_n and_o also_o have_v a_o end_n of_o his_o day_n nevertheless_o because_o those_o thing_n be_v leave_v out_o he_o be_v bring_v in_o as_o one_o which_o never_o have_v beginning_n &_o that_o never_o have_v end_n but_o

there_o be_v nothing_o carnal_a in_o his_o priesthood_n therefore_o we_o be_v to_o conclude_v that_o the_o priesthood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n have_v nothing_o in_o it_o that_o be_v carnal_a the_o priesthood_n of_o the_o papacy_n be_v &_o consist_v altogether_o of_o thing_n carnal_a and_o such_o as_o be_v also_o the_o invention_n of_o man_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v
