no_o right_n as_o i_o shall_v prove_v anon._n vii_o now_o though_o it_o be_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n that_o if_o the_o romanists_n will_v pretend_v a_o title_n they_o shall_v prove_v

to_o think_v that_o as_o patriarch_n he_o have_v no_o proper_a jurisdiction_n either_o over_o the_o gallican_n or_o spanish_a church_n and_o divers_a other_o otherwise_o then_o as_o he_o may_v

to_o this_o very_a day_n be_v a_o irrefragable_a instance_n and_o perhaps_o that_o be_v almost_o the_o only_a church_n of_o the_o roman_a communion_n which_o afford_v we_o any_o hope_n that_o the_o

will_v assert_v it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o they_o can_v tell_v i_o five_o hundred_o tale_n of_o person_n send_v over_o hither_o by_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n i_o shall_v not_o value_v it_o one_o rush_n for_o if_o wherever_o he_o send_v one_o of_o a_o errand_n he_o require_v the_o jurisdiction_n of_o the_o place_n as_o he_o have_v the_o privilege_n which_o never_o man_n

that_o be_v certain_o too_o much_o for_o a_o patriarch_n which_o be_v our_o present_a dispute_n but_o though_o i_o be_o not_o bind_v to_o prove_v the_o negative_a yet_o to_o show_v that_o he_o can_v have_v no_o such_o jurisdiction_n i_o shall_v produce_v two_o argument_n the_o one_o take_v from_o the_o different_a rite_n and_o usage_n of_o the_o briton_n from_o the_o roman_n the_o other_o from_o the_o british_a bishop_n downright_o disclaim_v such_o authority_n and_o assert_v and_o prove_v their_o liberty_n viii_o doubtless_o it_o do_v more_o concern_v we_o to_o be_v true_o thankful_a that_o god_n have_v vouchsafe_v we_o the_o light_n of_o his_o gospel_n and_o to_o be_v careful_a to_o live_v according_a to_o it_o then_o scrupulous_o to_o inquire_v after_o the_o precise_a time_n when_o

think_v it_o will_v appear_v that_o the_o british_a church_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v the_o slave_n that_o they_o be_v the_o elder_a sister_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o if_o neither_o the_o gift_n of_o christ_n nor_o the_o canon_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n have_v deal_v she_o any_o hard_a measure_n in_o this_o matter_n certain_o the_o prerogative_n of_o her_o birthright_n ought_v to_o invest_v she_o with_o some_o honour_n and_o privilege_n at_o least_o to_o shield_v she_o from_o truckling_n too_o much_o to_o the_o power_n and_o petulance_n of_o her_o young_a sister_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o she_o have_v not_o be_v unfruitful_a as_o have_v bring_v forth_o the_o first_o christian_a king_n furnish_v the_o world_n with_o the_o first_o christian_a emperor_n

from_o the_o roman_n and_o to_o find_v out_o the_o true_a reason_n of_o this_o i_o think_v the_o best_a way_n will_v be_v to_o look_v still_o high_o even_o to_o the_o first_o time_n of_o christianity_n our_o bless_a saviour_n be_v so_o far_o from_o separate_v from_o the_o jewish_a church_n that_o he_o make_v they_o his_o particular_a care_n and_o charge_n and_o seem_v to_o have_v so_o

no_o small_a cause_n of_o peter_n judaize_v at_o antioch_n now_o while_o the_o disciple_n do_v adhere_v so_o close_o to_o the_o jew_n it_o be_v not_o only_o reasonable_a to_o suppose_v that_o they_o use_v their_o custom_n and_o rite_n but_o we_o have_v scripture_n testimony_n of_o some_o instance_n wherein_o they_o do_v so_o as_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o sabbath_n though_o they_o keep_v

honourable_o rather_o by_o disuse_n then_o contempt_n and_o this_o practice_n continue_v for_o some_o time_n after_o the_o conversion_n of_o divers_a of_o the_o gentile_n by_o the_o disciple_n who_o

rite_n and_o now_o paul_n who_o circumcise_a timothy_n refuse_v to_o circumcise_v titus_n yea_o even_o the_o council_n at_o jerusalem_n disburden_v of_o all_o those_o matter_n except_o some_o few_o

and_o about_o this_o time_n it_o be_v probable_a begin_v the_o strict_a observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n with_o the_o neglect_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o the_o celebrate_v the_o resurrection_n not_o on_o the_o precise_a time_n of_o the_o jewish_a passeover_n but_o on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n call_v the_o lord_n day_n from_o his_o resurrection_n on_o that_o day_n next_o follow_v the_o fourteen_o of_o the_o moon_n and_o yet_o though_o this_o be_v allow_v in_o the_o gentile_n yet_o in_o communion_n with_o the_o christian_a jew_n a_o great_a regard_n be_v have_v to_o

the_o moysaicall_a rite_n and_o obtrude_v they_o upon_o all_o other_o with_o the_o opinion_n of_o such_o absolute_a necessity_n that_o they_o become_v a_o scandal_n to_o the_o gospel_n and_o m●de_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n in_o vain_a and_o upon_o this_o account_n be_v the_o implacable_a ●_z of_o the_o christian_n in_o all_o place_n then_o to_o vindicate_v the_o gospel_n the_o christians_n be_v under_o a_o necessity_n to_o depart_v from_o they_o and_o those_o who_o before_o comply_v all_o that_o can_v be_v with_o they_o now_o lest_o they_o shall_v seem_v to_o countenance_v the_o

for_o this_o reason_n among_o other_o viz._n that_o they_o may_v not_o ground_n their_o festival_n from_o any_o jewish_a rite_n or_o because_o they_o think_v the_o account_v not_o exact_a they_o

from_o these_o premise_n it_o be_v not_o irrational_a to_o conclude_v that_o the_o british_a church_n observe_v the_o feast_n of_o easter_n after_o the_o usage_n which_o obtain_v before_o the_o
