approve_v by_o christ_n to_o empower_v the_o minister_n to_o preach_v since_o all_o these_o be_v protestant_n and_o great_o differ_v in_o this_o thing_n if_o you_o say_v all_o of_o these_o be_v

ordination_n by_o imposition_n of_o hand_n which_o he_o say_v be_v not_o to_o be_v do_v by_o presbyter_n again_o the_o say_a doctor_n say_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v impse_n hand_n for_o

constant_a practice_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o opinion_n of_o divers_a church_n therefore_o pray_v tell_v i_o if_o this_o be_v that_o ordination_n which_o a_o man_n must_v have_v without_o which_o his_o preach_a be_v sinful_a 19_o again_o if_o you_o say_v all_z or_o any_o the_o forementioned_a ordination_n be_v lawful_a then_o how_o vain_a a_o thing_n be_v it_o for_o the_o presbyterian_o to_o throw_v down_o the_o government_n of_o episcopacy_n why_o do_v they_o not_o rather_o reform_v it_o then_o cashier_v it_o see_v it_o be_v a_o power_n by_o which_o minister_n may_v have_v be_v authorize_v to_o preach_v according_a to_o god_n ordinance_n 20_o if_o the_o bishop_n as_o bishop_n have_v this_o lawful_a power_n when_o do_v any_o power_n from_o christ_n divest_v they_o 21._o if_o episcopal_a authority_n be_v of_o god_n as_o the_o bishop_n pretend_v why_o may_v not_o a_o man_n lawful_o go_v still_o to_o they_o for_o ordination_n in_o case_n this_o authority_n be_v never_o take_v from_o they_o in_o a_o ecclesiastical_a way_n 22._o if_o you_o say_v that_o both_o presbyterian_a and_o episcopal_a ordination_n be_v lawful_a then_o i_o query_n whether_o that_o christ_n ever_o erect_v two_o way_n of_o ordination_n of_o minister_n one_o contrary_a to_o the_o other_o and_o yet_o both_o lawful_a for_o such_o be_v the_o state_n of_o episcopacy_n and_o presbytery_n in_o england_n one_o say_v that_o the_o presbytery_n have_v no_o power_n to_o ordain_v the_o other_o say_v they_o have_v 23._o if_o it_o be_v that_o ordination_n that_o be_v among_o the_o

wherein_o be_v mr._n brooks_n in_o this_o to_o be_v condemn_v 24._o again_o if_o you_o say_v that_o ordination_n by_o the_o presbytery_n be_v the_o only_a ordination_n then_o where_o be_v a_o
