Prynn of Lincolns-Inn, Esquire, on Munday the fourth of December, 1648 touching the Kings answer to the propositions of both Houses upon the whole treaty, whether they were satisfactory, or not satisfactory : wherein the satisfactorinesse of the Kings answers to the propositions for settlement of a firm lasting peace, and future security of the subjects against all feared regall invasions and encroachments whatsoever is clearly demonstrated ... and that the armies remonstrance, Nov. 20, is a way to speedy and certain ruine ... / put into writing, and published by him at the importunate request of divers members, for the satisfaction of the whole kingdome, touching the Houses vote upon his debate.

not_o mere_o conscience_n though_o some_o have_v over_o rash_o censure_v it_o for_o a_o mere_a pretence_n to_o keep_v up_o bishop_n still_o he_o that_o have_v grant_v and_o yield_v we_o the_o great_a

the_o point_n to_o other_o member_n 1._o that_o there_o be_v no_o one_o text_n of_o scripture_n to_o prove_v that_o bishop_n jure_fw-la divine_a be_v distinct_a from_o presbyter_n in_o any_o thing_n much_o less_o in_o this_o particular_a of_o have_v a_o negative_a voice_n or_o sole_a or_o principal_a interest_n as_o bishop_n so_o distinguish_v in_o the_o power_n of_o ordination●_n but_o a_o

right_n be_v ground_v upon_o these_o two_o gross_a mistake_n that_o timothy_n and_o titus_n be_v bishop_n proper_o so_o call_v the_o one_o of_o ephesus_n the_o other_o of_o crete_n and_o that_o this_o power_n of_o ordain_v elder_n be_v vest_v in_o they_o quatenus_fw-la bishop_n only_o and_o not_o otherwise_o by_o divine_a institution_n for_o proof_n of_o the_o first_o the_o postscript_n of_o paul_n epistle_n to_o they_o and_o no_o one_o text_n of_o scripture_n be_v cite_v and_o the_o 1_o tim._n 5._o 22._o tit._n 1._o 5._o relate_v only_o to_o ordination_n for_o the_o latter_a but_o it_o be_v clear_a as_o the_o noonday_n sun_n by_o scripture_n that_o timothy_n be_v never_o a_o bishop_n proper_o so_o call_v much_o less_o the_o first_o or_o sole_a bishop_n of_o ephesus_n as_o be_v evident_a by_o sundry_a text_n especial_o by_o act._n 20._o 4_o 5_o 6_o 15_o 17_o 18_o 21_o 29_o 30_o 31._o compare_v together_o nor_o titus_n a_o bishop_n proper_o so_o term_v distinct_a from_o a_o presbyter_n much_o less_o the_o first_o or_o sole_a bishop_n of_o crete_n nor_o do_v either_o of_o those_o text_n prove_v that_o they_o have_v the_o power_n of_o ordination_n by_o divine_a right_o vest_v in_o they_o two_o mere_o as_o bishop_n distinct_a from_o or_o superior_a to_o presbyter_n as_o i_o have_v undeniable_o manifest_v in_o my_o vnbishoping_a of_o timothy_n and_o titus_n and_o as_o for_o the_o postscript_n to_o these_o epistle_n term_v timothy_n ordain_v first_o bishop_n of_o ephesus_n and_o titus_n of_o crete_n they_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o text_n first_o extant_a in_o and_o invent_v by_o 9_o occumenius_n none_o of_o the_o authentick_v author_n above_o 1050_o year_n after_o christ_n and_o annex_v only_o to_o the_o end_n of_o his_o commentary_n on_o those_o epistle_n not_o adjoin_v to_o the_o text_n and_o they_o be_v not_o only_o omit_v in_o most_o manuscript_n and_o print_a edition_n and_o translation_n of_o these_o epistle_n but_o apparent_o false_a in_o themselves_o as_o i_o have_v at_o large_a demonstrate_v in_o some_o print_a book_n therefore_o this_o point_n of_o conscience_n may_v soon_o be_v satisfy_v 3_o that_o no_o bishop_n for_o 1200_o year_n after_o christ_n do_v ever_o claim_v the_o chief_a power_n in_o ordination_n by_o any_o divine_a right_n as_o bishop_n but_o mere_o by_o canon_n or_o custom_n long_o after_o the_o apostle_n and_o that_o in_o the_o

and_o enstallment_n of_o pope_n themselves_o and_o archbishop_n for_o defect_n of_o bishop_n 4._o that_o it_o be_v the_o ecclesiae_fw-la constant_a tenant_n of_o all_o the_o eminent_a protestant_n divine_n and_o some_o learned_a papist_n too_o and_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o the_o reform_a church_n that_o the_o divine_a right_n of_o ordination_n belong_v original_o to_o the_o whole_a church_n
