may_v see_v some_o community_n govern_v by_o superior_n without_o law_n and_o prosper_v for_o a_o while_n yet_o we_o shall_v never_o find_v that_o there_o be_v any_o see_v govern_v by_o law_n without_o superior_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o the_o law_n will_v be_v but_o occasion_n of_o quarrel_n and_o dissension_n wherefore_o as_o every_o man_n by_o his_o understanding_n direct_v

particular_a church_n be_v to_o take_v their_o rule_n and_o judgement_n in_o all_o spiritual_a affair_n 12._o how_o do_v we_o know_v that_o christ_n institute_v the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n himself_o and_o do_v not_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o church_n to_o do_v it_o because_o we_o know_v that_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o erect_v and_o establish_v a_o church_n which_o in_o itself_o shall_v have_v ordinary_a power_n to_o conserve_v and_o propagate_v itself_o as_o we_o see_v all_o state_n and_o community_n do_v now_o he_o who_o have_v understanding_n know_v that_o this_o can_v be_v do_v but_o by_o order_v of_o governor_n so_o that_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o very_a church_n itself_o which_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o no_o man_n can_v deny_v to_o come_v from_o christ_n do_v necessary_o imply_v the_o institution_n of_o the_o government_n of_o it_o 13._o but_o how_o do_v we_o know_v that_o those_o governor_n institute_v by_o christ_n be_v bishop_n and_o not_o priest_n or_o lay_v elder_n we_o know_v this_o first_o because_o we_o be_v tell_v expresselie_o in_o scripture_n that_o bishop_n be_v appoint_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o govern_v the_o church_n of_o god_n secondlie_o we_o know_v it_o by_o the_o same_o rule_n whereby_o we_o know_v all_o thing_n that_o we_o believe_v in_o the_o church_n for_o since_o you_o see_v that_o bishop_n that_o be_v man_n consecrate_v by_o a_o special_a ordination_n be_v governor_n in_o the_o church_n over_o all_o the_o christian_a world_n if_o one_o shall_v ask_v you_o who_o make_v they_o such_o i_o be_o sure_a you_o will_v say_v they_o be_v make_v such_o by_o other_o who_o be_v dead_a that_o be_v themselves_o such_o and_o those_o again_o by_o other_o and_o so_o upward_o to_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o who_o be_v make_v such_o immediate_o by_o christ_n which_o be_v as_o strong_a a_o motive_n as_o any_o we_o have_v to_o receive_v the_o bless_a trinity_n incarnation_n sacrament_n and_o all_o other_o mystery_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o therefore_o he_o who_o deni_v necessity_n of_o government_n by_o bishop_n in_o christ_n his_o church_n be_v as_o absolute_a a_o heretic_n as_o he_o who_o deni_v any_o thing_n that_o christ_n have_v teach_v and_o he_o who_o impugn_v it_o impugn_v christ_n and_o seek_v to_o destroy_v his_o church_n 14._o be_v all_o bishop_n equal_a no_o for_o as_o s._n peter_n

the_o church_n to_o pronounce_v the_o definitive_a sentence_n in_o all_o matter_n of_o church_n controversy_n for_o as_o it_o be_v not_o fit_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v more_o than_o one_o king_n

all_o the_o church_n what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o any_o other_o head_n especial_o since_o you_o say_v there_o can_v be_v two_o head_n christ_n alone_o be_v the_o supreme_a and_o absolute_a head_n and_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n be_v only_o his_o vicar_n and_o ministerial_a head_n and_o this_o be_v necessary_a because_o christ_n be_v now_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n he_o do_v not_o converse_v with_o his_o church_n any_o more_o in_o a_o visible_a manner_n but_o govern_v it_o spiritual_o and_o invisible_o wherefore_o see_v that_o the_o member_n of_o his_o church_n here_o upon_o earth_n be_v

the_o catholic_n of_o the_o world_n be_v unite_v in_o the_o bishop_n of_o that_o particular_a church_n as_o in_o their_o general_a pastor_n and_o so_o the_o word_n roman_n be_v not_o limit_v to_o
