to_o all_o their_o successor_n the_o bishop_n in_o this_o apostolic_a extent_n for_o he_o affirm_v that_o this_o power_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v perpetual_a and_o necessary_a in_o the_o church_n

these_o bishop_n be_v who_o he_o own_v to_o succeed_v to_o this_o apostolic_a office_n for_o that_o de_fw-fr facto_fw-la there_o be_v a_o great_a variety_n in_o the_o extent_n of_o their_o power_n he_o will_v not_o deny_v whether_o do_v he_o hold_v that_o every_o ordinary_a bishop_n be_v such_o a_o successor_n or_o the_o arch_a bishop_n or_o only_a primat_n if_o every_o bishop_n do_v thus_o succeed_v which_o the_o series_n of_o his_o argue_n seem_v to_o import_v than_o i_o will_v know_v how_o a_o bishop_n with_o a_o derive_v subaltern_a subordinat_a power_n limit_v to_o a_o certain_a

let_v he_o make_v sense_n of_o this_o if_o he_o can_v if_o he_o say_v that_o the_o bishop_n succession_n relate_v to_o their_o power_n within_o their_o own_o district_n then_o 1._o they_o no_o more_o

suppose_v a_o oecumenick_n council_n assemble_v the_o dr._n will_v not_o assert_v that_o he_o have_v a_o authority_n paramount_n to_o it_o by_o his_o office_n and_o that_o there_o may_v not_o be_v a_o great_a metropolitan_a than_o he_o existent_a who_o power_n may_v be_v paramount_n to_o he_o in_o the_o council_n or_o otherwise_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o our_o dr._n in_o his_o fantastic_a description_n of_o the_o apostolat_a and_o plead_n for_o the_o bishop_n succession_n thereunto_o have_v involve_v himself_o and_o be_v rolling_n sisyphus_n stone_n which_o still_o return_v upon_o he_o

i_o shall_v think_v if_o the_o apostolic_a work_n and_o necessary_a duty_n require_v these_o extraordinary_a gift_n as_o necessary_a advantage_n and_o furniture_n for_o the_o same_o than_o they_o be_v
