neither_o be_v darken_v with_o ignorance_n nor_o bleer_v with_o passion_n do_v ingenuous_o profess_v that_o i_o be_o not_o able_a from_o this_o scripture_n to_o collect_v that_o the_o sole_a power_n either_o of_o jurisdiction_n or_o ordination_n do_v reside_v in_o either_o bishop_n or_o archbishop_n for_o 1._o it_o be_v not_o improbable_a that_o titus_n be_v leave_v in_o crect_n and_o act_v there_o not_o as_o a_o fix_a bishop_n but_o as_o a_o extraordinary_a officer_n a_o evangelist_n 2._o it_o be_v here_o say_v that_o titus_n be_v leave_v to_o ordain_v elder_n but_o how_o as_o paul_n have_v appoint_v he_o so_o that_o the_o question_n still_o emain_v how_o paul_n have_v appoint_v he_o to_o ordain_v whether_o alone_o or_o with_o his_o sym-presbyters_a paul_n himself_o ordain_v not_o

bring_v by_o presbyterian_o to_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v a_o intrinsical_a power_n of_o ordination_n in_o presbyter_n and_o that_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o those_o who_o make_v that_o canon_n

be_v of_o divine_a right_n and_o if_o so_o what_o shall_v be_v proper_a and_o peculiar_a to_o it_o if_o ordination_n be_v not_o answ_n in_o this_o objection_n you_o put_v i_o upon_o a_o new_a task_n which_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o decline_v and_o shall_v show_v you_o first_o that_o our_o prelatical_a brethren_n have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v episcopacy_n to_o be_v of_o divine_a right_n second_o give_v you_o my_o reason_n why_o i_o conceive_v it_o be_v not_o of_o divine_a right_n 1._o i_o say_v the_o prelatist_n have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v its_o divine_a right_n to_o evince_v this_o i_o must_v examine_v the_o argument_n bring_v by_o they_o late_o one_o preach_v at_o st._n mary_n oxon_n take_v a_o occasion_n where_o his_o text_n offer_v he_o none_o to_o assert_v the_o divine_a right_n of_o episcopacy_n in_o his_o sermon_n he_o quote_v a_o place_n out_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o which_o the_o 72_o interpreter_n have_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

know_v that_o our_o saviour_n be_v a_o bishop_n and_o he_o make_v his_o apostle_n bishop_n and_o they_o make_v timothy_n and_o titus_n bishop_n and_o therefore_o episcopacy_n be_v found_v on_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n i_o can_v but_o think_v it_o be_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la for_o i_o can_v imagine_v that_o it_o be_v a_o ceremony_n to_o be_v abolish_v at_o the_o come_n of_o john_n calvin_n be_v you_o able_a to_o stand_v before_o this_o mighty_a argument_n do_v not_o the_o read_n of_o it_o cause_v a_o great_a trepidation_n in_o you_o than_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o eight_o sphere_n well_o to_o cure_v you_o of_o your_o palpitation_n i_o shall_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o same_o gentleman_n make_v hernia_n to_o be_v a_o fever_n and_o yet_o physician_n notwithstanding_o be_v resolve_v to_o

the_o river_n eridanus_n but_o the_o river_n alpheus_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a that_o the_o gentleman_n may_v be_v out_o in_o his_o divinity_n also_o and_o that_o he_o be_v so_o you_o will_v easy_o discern_v so_o soon_o as_o your_o fear_n be_v a_o little_a over_o i_o may_v put_v you_o upon_o too_o merry_a a_o pin_n if_o i_o shall_v play_v upon_o all_o the_o weakness_n of_o this_o theologasters_n argumentation_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v let_v it_o pass_v take_v notice_n of_o those_o argument_n which_o be_v bring_v to_o prove_v the_o divine_a right_n of_o episcopacy_n by_o man_n of_o better_a learning_n and_o judgement_n have_v only_o premise_v this_o that_o a_o thing_n can_v be_v of_o divine_a right_n but_o one_o of_o these_o two_o way_n either_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o by_o some_o positive_a law_n of_o god_n they_o that_o will_v go_v about_o to_o prove_v that_o either_o prelacy_n or_o presbytery_n or_o any_o other_o particular_a form_n

make_v under_o the_o gospel_n our_o prelatists_n love_n to_o have_v both_o these_o string_n to_o their_o bow_n 1._o they_o insist_v much_o on_o the_o inequality_n that_o be_v in_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n under_o the_o old_a law_n to_o prove_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v still_o a_o inequality_n among_o church-governor_n under_o the_o gospel_n the_o strength_n of_o which_o will_v soon_o be_v try_v if_o we_o first_o inquire_v what_o inequality_n there_o be_v in_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v no_o universal_a equality_n in_o that_o tribe_n the_o priest_n doubtless_o be_v above_o the_o levite_n be_v employ_v in_o a_o near_a attendance_n upon_o god_n service_n it_o be_v also_o obvious_a that_o among_o the_o priest_n there_o be_v a_o
