i_o hear_v these_o thing_n be_v no_o rarity_n now_o my_o assertion_n be_v that_o the_o church_n that_o have_v such_o as_o austin_n chrysostome_n jewel_n andrews_n and_o such_o worthy_a man_n as_o london_n now_o have_v many_o have_v privilege_n distinct_a from_o these_o and_o many_o the_o like_a that_o i_o be_v in_o if_o you_o say_v that_o every_o bishop_n and_o preacher_n be_v as_o much_o the_o bishop_n and_o preacher_n to_o all_o other_o single_a church_n as_o to_o that_o which_o be_v his_o title_n then_o 1._o he_o must_v be_v condemn_v for_o not_o teach_v they_o all_o 2._o then_o he_o may_v claim_v maintenance_n from_o they_o all_o 3._o then_o he_o may_v intrude_v into_o any_o man_n charge_n 4._o then_o no_o church_n be_v unchurcht_v for_o want_n of_o a_o bishop_n for_o any_o one_o bishop_n be_v bishop_n to_o every_o church_n in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o ubi_fw-la episcopus_fw-la ibi_fw-la ecclesia_fw-la signify_v but_o that_o church_n and_o bishop_n be_v on_o the_o same_o earth_n and_o ecclesia_fw-la est_fw-la plebs_fw-la episcopo_fw-la adunata_fw-la may_v be_v verify_v if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o in_o the_o world_n 5._o and_o so_o mr._n dodwell_n and_o such_o be_v self-confuted_n before_o you_o be_v aware_a geneva_n holland_n and_o all_o presbyterian_o be_v true_a church_n for_o they_o have_v all_o bishop_n e.g._n the_o bishop_n of_o london_n be_v bishop_n to_o they_o all_o for_o if_o one_o man_n be_v no_o more_o a_o member_n of_o one_o single_a church_n than_o of_o another_o and_o so_o no_o more_o a_o subject_a to_o one_o bishop_n than_o to_o another_o than_o one_o bishop_n be_v no_o more_o pastor_n of_o one_o church_n than_o of_o another_o 7._o and_o how_o can_v you_o magnify_v the_o church_n of_o england_n for_o a_o wise_a learned_a pious_a clergy_n above_o other_o church_n if_o all_o privilege_n be_v common_a and_o they_o have_v no_o proper_a pastor_n of_o their_o own_o 8._o do_v you_o think_v that_o the_o church_n e._n g._n of_o hippo_n that_o be_v in_o augustine_n day_n be_v the_o same_o numerical_a single_a church_n with_o that_o which_o be_v there_o now_o be_v there_o any_o or_o with_o the_o diocesan_n church_n of_o london_n if_o not_o then_o at_o least_o distance_n of_o time_n and_o change_v of_o person_n make_v divers_a particular_a church_n and_o it_o be_v no_o more_o against_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n universal_a to_o have_v divers_a particular_a church_n in_o it_o in_o the_o same_o age_n than_o in_o divers_a age_n in_o short_a diversity_n of_o matter_n and_o form_n make_v a_o numerical_a diversity_n as_o of_o natural_a so_o of_o politic_a body_n of_o the_o same_o species_n but_o the_o church_n of_o ephesus_n smyrna_n thyatira_n philadelphia_n etc._n etc._n be_v of_o divers_a matter_n and_o form_n numerical_o ergo_fw-la they_o be_v divers_a political_a church_n sure_a god_n do_v not_o commend_v laodicea_n for_o philadelphia_n church_n virtue_n nor_o condemn_v the_o church_n of_o philadelphia_n for_o the_o other_o church_n sin_n and_o if_o the_o angel_n be_v bishop_n why_o be_v some_o bishop_n praise_v as_o the_o bishop_n of_o such_o church_n and_o the_o bishop_n of_o other_o church_n threaten_v but_o i_o confess_v this_o be_v a_o ready_a way_n to_o end_v the_o controversy_n between_o the_o bishop_n of_o several_a church_n which_o shall_v be_v great_a if_o they_o be_v all_o but_o one_o but_o i_o hope_v that_o when_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n and_o his_o church_n be_v corrupt_v it_o be_v not_o true_a that_o every_o bishop_n and_o church_n fall_v with_o he_o or_o with_o any_o that_o have_v turn_v to_o mahumetanism_n to_o be_v no_o long_o on_o this_o which_o i_o think_v no_o prelatist_n will_v ever_o have_v put_v i_o on_o if_o these_o man_n speak_v not_o

yea_o even_o those_o that_o at_o trent_n will_v have_v have_v only_o the_o pope_n to_o be_v of_o immediate_a divine_a right_n than_o i_o know_v not_o any_o thing_n by_o read_v and_o if_o poor_a
