scripture_n show_v we_o any_o such_o office_n bring_v forth_o your_o proof_n of_o it_o b._n it_o be_v my_o part_n to_o answer_v your_o proof_n now_o you_o put_v on_o the_o respondent_fw-la the_o

therefore_o here_o we_o have_v find_v the_o diocesian_a bishop_n but_o before_o i_o proceed_v let_v i_o ask_v you_o gentlemen_z do_v you_o not_o put_v i_o upon_o this_o to_o ensnare_v i_o do_v you_o

a_o church_n therefore_o titus_n be_v a_o bishop_n h._n but_o you_o must_v prove_v he_o to_o be_v a_o diocesan_n bishop_n b._n so_o i_o do_v crect_n be_v his_o diocese_n the_o whole_a island_n be_v

the_o city_n there_o w._n the_o city_n be_v not_o under_o titus_n his_o government_n he_o be_v not_o a_o ruler_n of_o the_o island_n b._n he_o be_v ruler_n of_o all_o the_o christian_n i_o mean_v only_o they_o through_o all_o the_o city_n and_o country_n tr._n but_o titus_n be_v a_o evangelist_n therefore_o no_o bishop_n b._n i_o deny_v the_o consequence_n he_o be_v a_o evangelist_n while_o

great_a good_a of_o the_o church_n in_o which_o time_n of_o their_o absence_n their_o place_n be_v supply_v at_o home_n by_o their_o deputy_n tr._n but_o sir_n i_o pray_v consider_v titus_n be_v a_o extraordinary_a governor_n and_o therefore_o no_o diocesan_n bishop_n and_o you_o dispute_v fallacious_o unless_o you_o put_v in_o the_o word_n ordinary_a b._n i_o say_v he_o be_v a_o diocesan_n bishop_n or_o if_o you_o will_v rather_o a_o archbishop_n for_o i_o conceive_v the_o elder_n of_o every_o city_n to_o have_v be_v bishop_n and_o overseer_n of_o several_a minister_n and_o

ordain_v elder_n and_o order_n thing_n in_o the_o church_n therefore_o titus_n be_v a_o ordinary_a tr._n but_o i_o mean_v he_o be_v call_v to_o that_o office_n in_o a_o extraordinary_a manner_n b._n no_o neither_o he_o be_v call_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o timothy_n and_o other_o by_o imposition_n of_o the_o presbytery_n therefore_o he_o be_v call_v in_o a_o ordinary_a manner_n col._n a._n timothy_n be_v call_v say_v paul_n in_o another_o place_n by_o the_o lay_n on_o of_o his_o hand_n b._n noble_a sir_n you_o say_v very_o true_a and_o the_o place_n be_v easy_o reconcile_v thus_o divers_a elder_n lay_v hand_n on_o timothy_n among_o who_o s._n paul_n probable_o be_v chief_a h._n and_o be_v paul_n too_o a_o diocesan_n bishop_n b._n the_o apostle_n common_a diocese_n be_v the_o
