while_o they_o live_v but_o i_o see_v no_o proof_n of_o it_o and_o there_o be_v one_o argument_n against_o it_o which_o i_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o answer_v and_o it_o be_v this_o if_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n have_v no_o governor_n but_o themselves_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o have_v none_o at_o all_o for_o they_o never_o fix_v in_o any_o place_n but_o have_v preach_v the_o gospel_n plant_v church_n and_o settle_a officer_n among_o they_o they_o leave_v they_o and_o go_v to_o other_o place_n and_o country_n it_o be_v true_a they_o do_v sometime_o return_v and_o visit_v the_o church_n that_o they_o plant_v but_o who_o govern_v they_o in_o the_o intermediate_v period_n of_o time_n or_o be_v there_o no_o ordination_n censure_n or_o absolution_n perform_v in_o they_o or_o none_o but_o by_o their_o direction_n and_o command_n that_o some_o act_n of_o discipline_n be_v perform_v by_o their_o direction_n and_o command_n i_o do_v acknowledge_v but_o that_o all_o be_v so_o and_o that_o none_o ought_v to_o be_v perform_v without_o it_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n to_o believe_v touch_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n after_o the_o apostle_n till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o second_o century_n i_o must_v say_v that_o i_o can_v find_v no_o evidence_n of_o diocesan_n episcopacy_n or_o of_o any_o church_n big_a
