certain_a &_o perpetual_a order_n both_o of_o that_o sow_a &_o of_o the_o person_n admit_v to_o that_o sow_a and_o that_o the_o same_o have_v be_v tie_v also_o at_o all_o time_n to_o the_o same_o law_n of_o ordination_n before_o that_o first_o the_o lord_n have_v consecrate_v to_o himself_o the_o first_o beget_v exod._n 3.2_o and_o 19_o 22._o and_o the_o 24.5_o in_o who_o steed_n afterward_o that_o leviticall_a priesthood_n be_v ordain_v almost_o with_o infinite_a ceremony_n num._n 8.18_o therefore_o then_o at_o the_o length_n begin_v that_o certain_a &_o ordinary_a order_n of_o succession_n &_o ordination_n that_o be_v of_o sow_v and_o of_o those_o unto_o who_o the_o charge_n of_o that_o sow_v be_v commit_v which_o succession_n and_o which_o manner_n of_o ordain_v if_o before_o that_o time_n the_o church_n lack_v it_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o that_o ordinary_a succession_n and_o calling_n have_v neither_o be_v always_o necessary_a nor_o continual_a see_v that_o the_o visible_a church_n stand_v so_o many_o age_n before_o both_o of_o they_o now_o let_v we_o see_v whether_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n have_v continue_v without_o interruption_n even_o unto_o the_o come_v of_o christ_n in_o deed_n we_o read_v that_o the_o sprede_n abraod_a of_o aaron_n posterity_n continue_v until_o the_o overthrow_n of_o the_o temple_n but_o even_o as_o we_o say_v though_o david_n stock_n be_v not_o abolish_v yet_o david_n kingdom_n even_o as_o among_o other_o the_o prophet_n ezechiel_n have_v foretell_v be_v break_v of_o from_o the_o day_n of_o sedichia_n unto_o zorobabel_n from_o who_o tim_n in_o steed_n of_o king_n they_o be_v duke_n and_o at_o the_o length_n the_o asmoney_n take_v all_o power_n unto_o themselves_o david_n posterity_n i_o say_v in_o steed_n of_o duke_n become_v senator_n until_o at_o last_o they_o be_v also_o take_v away_o by_o herod_n a_o foreigner_n bear_v and_o judea_n be_v reduce_v to_o a_o province_n and_o so_o in_o fine_a as_o jacob_n have_v foretell_v all_o government_n be_v take_v from_o judea_n that_o son_n of_o david_n spring_v up_o 49.10_o gen._n 49.10_o to_o sit_v in_o the_o throne_n of_o david_n for_o ever_o so_o it_o appear_v that_o all_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n be_v not_o at_o once_o break_v off_o until_o the_o eternal_a priesthood_n of_o melchizedech_n succeed_v it_o be_v whole_o abolish_v for_o to_o let_v pass_v those_o public_a misery_n and_o slaughter_n of_o the_o people_n under_o the_o judge_n and_o especial_o that_o time_n which_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o five_o last_o chapter_n of_o the_o story_n of_o the_o judge_n in_o which_o time_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o public_a ministry_n be_v great_o decay_v and_o sometime_o almost_o abolish_v who_o will_v deny_v that_o there_o be_v any_o true_a church_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o ten_o tribe_n from_o the_o time_n of_o jeroboam_fw-la the_o first_o king_n unto_o the_o overthrow_n of_o samaria_n and_o yet_o that_o there_o be_v no_o succession_n nor_o ordination_n of_o levitical_a priesthood_n among_o they_o appear_v by_o this_o because_o it_o be_v write_v of_o levi_n that_o he_o depart_v from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o ten_o tribe_n and_o by_o that_o same_o most_o heavy_a complaint_n of_o helias_n which_o be_v report_v by_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 11.2_o for_o concern_v that_o which_o be_v report_v afterwards_o of_o these_o hundred_o prophet_n hide_v in_o a_o cave_n 1._o king_n 18.13_o it_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v there_o any_o ordinary_a ministry_n the_o adversary_n will_v reply_v that_o the_o godly_a israelite_n go_v to_o jerusalem_n and_o therefore_o that_o they_o pertein_v to_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n be_v it_o so_o that_o some_o go_v yet_o there_o be_v some_o true_a church_n then_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o ten_o tribe_n not_o go_v to_o the_o city_n neither_o use_v the_o ordinary_a sacrifice_n nor_o retain_v any_o use_n of_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n but_o again_o these_o man_n say_v they_o have_v notwithstanding_o college_n of_o prophet_n and_o assembly_n of_o godly_a man_n also_o at_o their_o appoint_a day_n as_o appear_v namely_o out_o of_o the_o 2._o king_n 4.23_o and_o therefore_o the_o ordinary_a succession_n of_o the_o ministry_n do_v not_o then_o cease_v and_o neither_o do_v i_o conclude_v out_o of_o this_o place_n that_o there_o be_v then_o no_o holy_a ministry_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n but_o this_o one_o thing_n i_o gather_v that_o the_o succession_n of_o the_o leviticall_a ministry_n which_o be_v the_o only_a ordinary_a ministry_n be_v then_o all_o together_o break_v off_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n for_o neither_o be_v the_o prophet_n ordain_v by_o the_o ministrye_n of_o man_n neither_o be_v their_o order_n continual_a they_o will_v again_o reply_v that_o a_o ordinary_a succession_n may_v cease_v in_o particular_a church_n but_o at_o no_o hand_n in_o the_o catholic_a church_n that_o be_v to_o say_v universal_o see_v that_o then_o also_o the_o temple_n continue_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n but_o beside_o that_o i_o can_v reply_v out_o of_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o judah_n so_o behave_v herself_o not_o only_o in_o manner_n but_o also_o in_o the_o very_a worship_n of_o god_n that_o she_o justify_v israel_n herself_o 16.51_o ezech._n 16.51_o and_o that_o also_o the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v shut_v up_o under_o manasses_n after_o that_o it_o have_v be_v imbrue_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o that_o horrible_a idolatry_n declare_v unto_o ezechiel_n in_o a_o vision_n beside_o these_o thing_n i_o say_v i_o furthermore_o add_v two_o other_o one_o be_v that_o if_o some_o particular_a church_n may_v be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n without_o the_o mark_n of_o succession_n and_o ordinary_a ordination_n it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o those_o note_n be_v not_o that_o which_o the_o logician_n call_v proper_a after_o the_o four_o sort_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o term_n that_o always_o agree_v unto_o one_o kind_n and_o to_o every_o particular_a of_o the_o same_o kind_n whereof_o we_o now_o demand_v and_o in_o deed_n do_v just_o demand_v it_o see_v the_o whole_a force_n of_o the_o definition_n consist_v proper_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o difference_n the_o other_o be_v that_o if_o which_o thing_n we_o have_v show_v before_o some_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n may_v lack_v that_o successien_fw-mi and_o ordinary_a ordination_n for_o a_o time_n it_o follow_v that_o that_o thing_n may_v fall_v out_o in_o all_o particular_a and_o several_a church_n for_o why_o shall_v it_o fall_v out_o to_o one_o rather_o than_o to_o a_o other_o but_o where_o this_o thing_n shall_v fall_v out_o in_o what_o general_a thing_n i_o pray_v you_o may_v a_o man_n find_v that_o which_o he_o want_v not_o in_o all_o and_o every_o singular_a part_n of_o the_o same_o but_o least_o these_o man_n shall_v again_o cry_v out_o that_o yet_o that_o thing_n have_v not_o fall_v which_o may_v have_v fall_v out_o let_v we_o proceed_v further_o and_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o the_o state_n of_o the_o cotholike_a church_n be_v under_o the_o captivity_n of_o babylon_n very_o these_o man_n shall_v never_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v then_o any_o ordinary_a ministry_n of_o the_o levite_n for_o the_o fable_n of_o susanna_n be_v confute_v out_o of_o the_o true_a story_n of_o daniel_n so_o that_o it_o must_v be_v a_o narration_n either_o fabulous_a or_o mere_o allegorical_a even_o as_o also_o the_o book_n of_o judith_n be_v and_o though_o ezechiel_n sometime_o in_o some_o place_n exercise_v the_o office_n of_o a_o prophet_n as_o it_o be_v manifest_a by_o his_o prophecy_n yet_o by_o that_o it_o shall_v at_o no_o hand_n be_v prove_v that_o the_o leviticall_a priesthood_n be_v not_o discontinue_v but_o thou_o will_v say_v circumcision_n then_o continue_v i_o grant_v it_o for_o this_o be_v the_o singular_a benefit_n of_o god_n even_o as_o satan_n can_v not_o in_o our_o time_n and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o our_o father_n bring_v to_o pass_v but_o that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n shall_v remain_v but_o the_o self_n same_o circumcision_n be_v not_o use_v those_o forty_o year_n be_v the_o time_n of_o their_o wander_a in_o the_o wilderness_n where_o notwithstanding_o if_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v not_o it_o be_v not_o where_o see_v therefore_o the_o church_n may_v for_o a_o time_n want_v some_o sacrament_n true_o this_o part_n of_o the_o public_a ministry_n be_v not_o absolute_o the_o perpetual_a and_o necessary_a mark_n of_o the_o church_n which_o thing_n yet_o can_v be_v say_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o word_n itself_o for_o the_o patent_n itself_o of_o a_o covenaunt_n be_v another_o thing_n than_o the_o seal_n put_v to_o the_o patent_n itself_o so_o that_o the_o church_n may_v for_o a_o time_n

they_o shall_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v more_o wise_a man_n than_o fool_n now_o then_o i_o think_v it_o do_v sufficient_o appear_v that_o by_o this_o bare_a succession_n which_o they_o brag_v of_o that_o true_a catholic_a church_n wherein_o we_o must_v abide_v can_v be_v discern_v from_o the_o false_a church_n from_o which_o we_o ought_v of_o necessity_n to_o depart_v but_o yet_o before_o that_o we_o conclude_v this_o place_n we_o must_v refel_v a_o argument_n which_o these_o sophister_n will_v have_v to_o be_v deem_v such_o a_o one_o as_o can_v be_v overcome_v for_o say_v they_o succession_n how_o the_o father_n use_v the_o argument_n of_o personal_a succession_n the_o father_n so_o dispute_v from_o the_o succession_n of_o bishop_n against_o ancient_a heretic_n but_o again_o what_o can_v be_v more_o corrupt_a than_o this_o subtle_a kind_n of_o reason_v for_o this_o be_v that_o which_o be_v well_o know_v even_o to_o child_n which_o they_o be_v wont_a to_o call_v a_o elench_v other_o elench_v the_o fallacy_n of_o composition_n or_o division_n be_v a_o false_a conclusion_n make_v by_o a_o wrong_a application_n of_o word_n allege_v or_o speak_v refer_v that_o to_o one_o which_o be_v allege_v or_o speak_v to_o a_o other_o or_o a_o fallacy_n of_o composition_n and_o divysion_n first_o therefore_o i_o deny_v that_o any_o of_o the_o ancient_a father_n be_v mind_v to_o use_v the_o recital_n of_o bishop_n but_o to_o have_v recourse_n rather_o even_o to_o the_o apostle_n and_o why_o so_o that_o the_o authority_n of_o doctrine_n rather_o than_o of_o person_n shall_v be_v maintain_v but_o these_o man_n object_n unto_o we_o the_o succession_n of_o their_o bishop_n not_o in_o deed_n bishop_n so_o far_o let_v pass_v the_o mention_n of_o that_o apostolical_a

here_o true_o i_o confess_v that_o i_o do_v somewhat_o overshoot_v myself_o for_o see_v the_o question_n be_v of_o doctrine_n what_o do_v this_o appertain_v to_o the_o bishop_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n who_o all_o christendom_n know_v now_o so_o many_o year_n to_o have_v be_v for_o nothing_o less_o careful_a then_o for_o any_o doctrine_n either_o true_a or_o false_a but_o only_o for_o

in_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n can_v not_o be_v know_v by_o the_o succession_n of_o person_n if_o they_o have_v be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o christ_n by_o what_o bishoply_n succession_n will_v they_o have_v acknowledge_v the_o true_a church_n sure_o not_o by_o the_o title_n or_o name_n of_o the_o leviticall_a high_a priest_n because_o that_o priesthood_n be_v then_o at_o a_o end_n and_o christ_n

according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o levi_n but_o according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedec_n therefore_o the_o holy_a man_n at_o that_o time_n acknowledge_v the_o catholic_a church_n without_o the_o mark_n of_o personal_a succession_n to_o wit_n by_o the_o comparison_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n himself_o and_o the_o apostle_n which_o

of_o the_o pharisee_n 16.6_o mat._n 16.6_o and_o therefore_o by_o that_o say_n of_o christ_n we_o be_v not_o call_v back_o to_o a_o succession_n of_o person_n but_o to_o a_o succession_n of_o
