but_o one_o high_a peiest_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n with_o who_o so_o long_o as_o he_o live_v no_o other_o may_v be_v surcharge_v unless_o happy_o he_o have_v defile_v himself_o with_o any_o

neglect_v the_o mediocrity_n of_o all_o learned_a writer_n do_v tear_n like_o mad_a dog_n and_o torment_v the_o most_o reverend_a name_n and_o religious_a function_n of_o bishop_n archbishop_n patriarch_n &_o metropolitan_o as_o pamper_a and_o proud_a title_n antichristian_a &_o profane_a but_o will_v you_o hear_v the_o reason_n of_o unreasonable_a man_n they_o allege_v that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o recount_v the_o degree_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o ephesian_n the_o 4._o chap._n make_v no_o mention_n of_o patriarch_n &_o archbishop_n to_o the_o which_o before_o i_o go_v any_o further_a i_o make_v they_o this_o answer_n that_o those_o office_n be_v there_o comprise_v and_o contain_v in_o the_o name_n of_o apostle_n &_o evangelist_n and_o in_o the_o 12._o to_o the_o rom._n verse_n 8._o in_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d ruler_n or_o he_o that_o rule_v and_o in_o the_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n the_o 12._o chap._n and_o 28._o verse_n in_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d governor_n by_o all_o which_o term_n and_o title_n the_o sacred_a order_n of_o superior_a pastor_n be_v understand_v but_o that_o the_o aforesaid_a office_n of_o apostle_n &_o evangelist_n be_v perpetual_a we_o have_v already_o prove_v and_o it_o may_v also_o sufficient_o appear_v by_o the_o sequel_n of_o that_o enumeration_n of_o those_o office_n namely_o when_o he_o set_v down_o to_o what_o end_n our_o saviour_n give_v to_o the_o church_n some_o apostle_n and_o other_o evangelist_n be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n for_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n so_o that_o so_o long_o as_o the_o church_n be_v to_o be_v edify_v so_o long_o those_o office_n be_v to_o be_v continue_v in_o the_o church_n which_o be_v there_o contain_v if_o the_o church_n can_v have_v be_v edify_v without_o they_o they_o shall_v never_o have_v be_v ordain_v in_o the_o church_n but_o again_o that_o part_n of_o they_o be_v think_v to_o be_v temporal_a &_o part_v particular_a that_o thought_n be_v overthrow_v by_o the_o only_a end_n of_o that_o for_o the_o which_o they_o be_v ordain_v which_o end_n be_v to_o be_v seek_v for_o continual_o of_o all_o the_o faithful_a even_o until_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o be_v they_o not_o still_o to_o edify_v by_o these_o office_n &_o to_o grow_v together_o into_o one_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n now_o albeit_o the_o office_n of_o bishop_n &_o archbishop_n primate_fw-la &_o patriarch_n do_v not_o extend_v itself_o so_o far_o as_o do_v the_o office_n of_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n neither_o be_v they_o enrich_v with_o the_o like_a treasure_n or_o measure_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o be_v we_o to_o consider_v that_o this_o difference_n be_v in_o the_o quality_n not_o in_o the_o quiddity_n of_o the_o same_o function_n in_o the_o measure_n not_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o commission_n and_o therefore_o who_o at_o this_o day_n we_o call_v bishop_n &_o archbishop_n paul_n the_o apostle_n call_v apostle_n for_o that_o as_o we_o have_v say_v they_o be_v join_v in_o the_o same_o combination_n &_o make_v partaker_n of_o that_o commission_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o call_n of_o archbishop_n &_o patriarch_n have_v be_v always_o call_v and_o be_v yet_o to_o be_v account_v apostolic_a in_o all_o place_n yet_o for_o as_o much_o as_o these_o name_n and_o title_n do_v seem_v in_o some_o man_n eye_n to_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o the_o tumour_n of_o pride_n and_o ambition_n let_v we_o take_v a_o further_a view_n of_o those_o principal_a object_n and_o frivolous_a objection_n by_o the_o which_o they_o be_v cast_v into_o this_o no_o less_o strange_a than_o strong_a
