divine_a law_n of_o have_v a_o particular_a bishop_n in_o every_o particular_a church_n do_v not_o so_o general_o bind_v as_o the_o other_o do_v but_o may_v cease_v to_o oblige_v by_o reason_n of_o some_o particular_a circumstance_n of_o time_n or_o place_n this_o answer_n overthow_v m._n doctor_n whole_a edifice_n because_o if_o any_o reason_n may_v take_v away_o the_o obligation_n of_o a_o divine_a law_n certain_o a_o general_a persecution_n threaten_v to_o a_o whole_a country_n may_v free_v we_o from_o such_o a_o bond_n how_o then_o will_v m._n doctor_n conclude_v that_o by_o the_o divyne_a law_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o have_v a_o bishop_n in_o a_o case_n wherein_o the_o divine_a law_n cease_v to_o bind_v you_o see_v the_o discussour_n have_v reason_n to_o say_v that_o m._n doctor_n word_n import_v too_o much_o or_o else_o you_o must_v yield_v they_o prove_v too_o little_a 14._o in_o like_a manner_n what_o m._n doctor_n say_v in_o the_o same_o place_n that_o unless_o every_o particular_a church_n have_v a_o bishop_n the_o universal_a church_n shall_v not_o as_o christ_n have_v institute_v be_v a_o hierarchy_n compose_v of_o diverse_a particular_a church_n be_v right_o tax_v by_o the_o discussour_n as_o either_o not_o sound_a or_o not_o sufficient_a for_o m._n doctor_n purpose_n if_o it_o be_v understand_v only_o indeterminat_o that_o be_v the_o whole_a church_n can_v be_v a_o hierarchy_n unless_o some_o particular_a church_n have_v bishop_n it_o prove_v not_o that_o england_n must_v have_v a_o bishop_n because_o although_o england_n want_v a_o bishop_n other_o church_n may_v have_v they_o &_o so_o the_o universal_a church_n remain_v a_o hierarchy_n if_o he_o understand_v of_o every_o determinate_a particular_a church_n than_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n can_v be_v a_o hierarchy_n unless_o the_o determinate_a particular_a church_n of_o england_n have_v a_o bishop_n as_o the_o discussour_n urge_v n._n 16._o and_o the_o replyer_n do_v not_o confute_v 15._o by_o the_o way_n i_o espy_v in_o his_o n._n 32._o a_o word_n for_o my_o purpose_n which_o overthrow_v the_o replier_n whole_a discourse_n in_o this_o question_n the_o church_n say_v he_o can_v be_v at_o all_o without_o a_o supreme_a bishop_n or_o not_o without_o order_n to_o he_o when_o the_o sea_n be_v vacant_a this_o i_o take_v as_o grant_v and_o very_o true_a and_o hence_o i_o infer_v that_o as_o the_o universal_a church_n may_v be_v a_o universal_a church_n without_o actual_a union_n to_o a_o supreme_a bishop_n while_o the_o sea_n be_v vacant_a because_o it_o still_o have_v order_n reference_n and_o aptitude_n to_o be_v govern_v by_o a_o universal_a bishop_n as_o soon_o as_o he_o shall_v be_v elect_v so_o a_o particular_a church_n may_v be_v such_o by_o order_n and_o aptitude_n to_o be_v unite_v with_o a_o particular_a bishop_n whensoever_o he_o shall_v be_v appoint_v &_o so_o s._n cyprian_n definition_n the_o church_n be_v the_o people_n unite_v to_o the_o bishop_n do_v not_o require_v that_o the_o people_n be_v actual_o unite_v to_o the_o bishop_n but_o only_o in_o readiness_n of_o mind_n or_o aptitudinal_o and_o thus_o england_n while_o it_o want_v a_o bishop_n be_v a_o particular_a church_n because_o it_o be_v always_o in_o disposition_n to_o be_v unite_v to_o a_o bishop_n where_o now_o be_v that_o argument_n so_o often_o inculcate_v by_o m._n doctor_n the_o inquisitor_n and_o the_o replyer_n s._n cyprian_n define_v a_o church_n to_o be_v the_o people_n unite_v to_o the_o bishop_n but_o the_o people_n can_v be_v unite_v to_o a_o bishop_n unless_o they_o have_v one_o ergo_fw-la they_o can_v be_v a_o church_n unless_o they_o have_v a_o bishop_n for_o the_o replyer_n himself_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o when_o the_o sea_n be_v vacant_a the_o people_n may_v be_v a_o church_n with_o only_a order_n to_o a_o bishop_n which_o impli_v not_o the_o actual_a have_v a_o bishop_n but_o only_o a_o fit_a disposition_n to_o have_v one_o the_o iii_o question_n whether_o by_o the_o divine_a law_n every_o particular_a church_n must_v have_v its_o bishop_n the_o divine_a precept_n of_o have_v bishop_n in_o the_o church_n be_v only_o to_o be_v understod_a indeterminat_o or_o in_o general_a that_o in_o the_o whole_a church_n there_o must_v be_v some_o bishop_n as_o many_o or_o few_o as_o may_v be_v necessary_a or_o requisite_a to_o the_o end_n of_o govern_v the_o same_o church_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o particular_a and_o determinate_a church_n the_o command_n be_v not_o absolute_a but_o bear_v a_o great_a respect_n to_o circumstance_n of_o time_n place_n and_o the_o like_a as_o the_o vicar_n of_o christ_n shall_v judge_v it_o best_o fit_v for_o govern_v and_o provide_v such_o church_n of_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n wherefore_o from_o the_o divine_a precept_n of_o have_v bishop_n in_o general_a we_o can_v infer_v a_o necessity_n of_o have_v bishop_n in_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a country_n although_o otherwise_o of_o extent_n for_o there_o may_v occur_v good_a reason_n why_o some_o other_o government_n in_o some_o particular_a circumstance_n may_v conduce_v more_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o particular_a good_a of_o such_o a_o country_n contrariwise_o it_o may_v happen_v that_o some_o church_n of_o small_a extent_n may_v in_o particular_a circumstance_n more_o require_v the_o government_n of_o a_o bishop_n than_o a_o large_a country_n the_o thing_n therefore_o which_o be_v as_o i_o may_v say_v formal_o to_o be_v consider_v be_v the_o quality_n or_o great_a or_o less_o necessity_n not_o the_o great_a or_o less_o quantity_n of_o place_n or_o number_n of_o person_n but_o in_o as_o much_o as_o these_o may_v induce_v a_o great_a necessity_n of_o
