your_o minister_n be_v make_v per_fw-la saltum_fw-la without_o ever_o be_v subdeacons_n and_o whereas_o the_o counsel_n require_v three_o bishop_n to_o assist_v at_o the_o consecration_n of_o a_o

controversy_n you_o have_v with_o one_o there_o be_v but_o one_o bishop_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v such_o a_o matter_n and_o although_o i_o know_v and_o have_v see_v the_o record_n themselves_o that_o afterward_o there_o be_v a_o consecration_n of_o doctor_n parker_n at_o lambeth_n and_o three_o bishop_n name_v viz._n miles_n coverdall_n of_o exeter_n one_o hodgeskin_n suffragan_n of_o bedford_n and_o another_o who_o name_n i_o have_v forget_v yet_o it_o be_v very_o doubtful_a that_o coverdall_n be_v make_v bishop_n of_o exeter_n in_o king_n edward_n time_n when_o all_o counsel_n and_o church_n canon_n be_v little_o observe_v he_o be_v never_o himself_o canonical_o consecrate_v and_o so_o if_o he_o be_v no_o canonical_a bishop_n he_o can_v not_o make_v another_o canonical_a and_o the_o three_o unnamed_a as_o i_o remember_v but_o be_o not_o sure_a be_v only_o a_o bishop_n elect_a and_o not_o consecrate_v and_o so_o be_v not_o sufficient_a but_o hereof_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o they_o do_v consecrate_v parker_n by_o virtue_n of_o a_o breve_fw-la from_o the_o queen_n as_o head_n of_o the_o church_n who_o indeed_o be_v no_o true_a head_n and_o a_o woman_n i_o can_v see_v how_o they_o can_v make_v a_o true_a consecration_n ground_v on_o her_o authority_n furthermore_o make_v your_o minister_n you_o keep_v not_o the_o right_a intention_n for_o neither_o do_v the_o orderer_n nor_o the_o order_v give_v nor_o receive_v the_o order_n as_o a_o sacrament_n nor_o with_o any_o intention_n of_o sacrifice_v also_o they_o want_v the_o matter_n and_o form_n with_o which_o according_a to_o the_o counsel_n and_o canon_n of_o the_o church_n holy_a order_n shall_v be_v give_v namely_o for_o the_o matter_n priesthood_n be_v give_v by_o the_o delivery_n of_o the_o patena_fw-la with_o bread_n and_o of_o the_o chalice_n with_o wine_n deaconship_n by_o the_o delivery_n of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o subdeaconship_n by_o the_o delivery_n of_o the_o patena_fw-la alone_o and_o of_o the_o chalice_n empty_a and_o in_o the_o substantial_a form_n of_o priesthood_n you_o do_v fail_v most_o of_o all_o which_o form_n consist_v in_o these_o word_n accipe_fw-la potestatem_fw-la offerendi_fw-la sacrificium_fw-la in_o ecclesia_fw-la pro_fw-la vivis_fw-la &_o mortuis_fw-la which_o be_v neither_o say_a no●_n do_v by_o you_o and_o therefore_o well_o may_v you_o be_v call_v minister_n as_o also_o lay_v man_n be_v but_o you_o be_v no_o priest_n wherefore_o i_o conclude_v want_v subdeaconship_n want_v undoubted_a canonical_a bishop_n want_v right_a intention_n want_v matter_n and_o due_a form_n and_o derive_v even_o that_o you_o seem_v to_o have_v from_o a_o woman_n the_o head_n of_o your_o church_n therefore_o you_o have_v no_o true_a pastor_n and_o consequent_o no_o true_a church_n and_o so_o to_o conclude_v and_o not_o to_o weary_v myself_o and_o you_o too_o much_o be_v resolve_v in_o my_o understanding_n by_o these_o and_o many_o other_o argument_n that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n but_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v and_o be_v the_o only_a true_a church_n because_o it_o alone_o be_v ancient_a catholic_a and_o apostolic_a have_v succession_n unity_n and_o visibilitie_n in_o all_o age_n and_o place_n yet_o what_o agony_n i_o pass_v with_o my_o will_n here_o i_o will_v overpass_a only_o i_o can_v pretermit_v to_o tell_v you_o that_o at_o last_o have_v also_o master_v and_o
christ_n heretic_n and_o sectary_n accurse_v they_o draw_v they_o out_o of_o ●heir_a synagogue_n scourge_v they_o cast_v they_o in_o prison_n compel_v they_o to_o blaspheme_v as_o you_o do_v now_o

for_o whatsoever_o a_o protestant_a hold_n as_o of_o faith_n you_o can_v deny_v to_o be_v good_a and_o catholic_a nor_o any_o christian_a man_n else_o for_o he_o bind_v he_o to_o his_o creed_n to_o
