well_o be_v preserve_v except_o the_o inferior_a clergy_n have_v a_o power_n to_o make_v their_o own_o bishop_n suppose_v as_o sometime_o it_o have_v fall_v out_o here_o in_o this_o kingdom_n that_o there_o be_v not_o bishop_n enough_o to_o consecrate_v bishop_n who_o can_v make_v they_o but_o the_o inferior_a clergy_n it_o fall_v out_o so_o in_o england_n at_o the_o come_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n to_o the_o crown_n cardinal_n poole_n then_o archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n die_v within_o four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n of_o queen_n mary_n and_o upon_o his_o death_n the_o see_v of_o canterbury_n be_v void_a dr._n parker_n be_v prefer_v to_o it_o there_o be_v not_o as_o dr._n burnet_n now_o bishop_n of_o salisbury_n observe_v bishop_n enough_o of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n to_o ordain_v he_o and_o the_o popish_a bishop_n will_v not_o so_o he_o be_v make_v bishop_n by_o barlow_n story_n coverdale_n and_o hodgkins_n three_o of_o these_o be_v only_o titular_a and_o have_v no_o see_v and_o the_o other_o a_o suffragan_n so_o that_o the_o first_o bishop_n that_o be_v make_v here_o upon_o the_o come_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n to_o the_o crown_n be_v make_v by_o presbyter_n and_o not_o by_o diocesan_n bishop_n this_o put_v mr._n mason_n upon_o the_o write_n of_o his_o book_n in_o vindication_n of_o the_o english_a ministry_n against_o the_o papist_n who_o triumph_v much_o upon_o this_o occasion_n sure_o therefore_o if_o minister_n may_v make_v bishop_n who_o pretend_v to_o be_v a_o superior_a order_n to_o they_o what_o shall_v hinder_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o have_v a_o power_n to_o ordain_v minister_n just_o such_o another_o absurdity_n the_o papist_n run_v themselves_o into_o for_o they_o also_o appropriate_v the_o power_n of_o ordination_n to_o diocesan_n bishop_n and_o yet_o according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n every_o priest_n by_o a_o few_o word_n speak_v can_v make_v a_o god_n and_o turn_v the_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n into_o the_o natural_a body_n of_o our_o saviour_n but_o they_o must_v not_o presume_v to_o make_v minister_n second_o the_o nature_n of_o ordination_n prove_v our_o ministry_n to_o be_v no_o nullity_n ordination_n be_v but_o a_o determine_n of_o the_o person_n to_o be_v ordain_v as_o person_n due_o qualify_v for_o the_o office_n whereupon_o they_o be_v by_o prayer_n and_o imposition_n of_o hand_n invest_v in_o the_o ministry_n now_o what_o be_v there_o in_o this_o that_o minister_n may_v not_o do_v without_o a_o diocesan_n we_o do_v not_o give_v they_o their_o power_n and_o ministerial_a authority_n that_o be_v from_o god_n and_o what_o that_o power_n be_v that_o god_n give_v they_o it_o be_v not_o we_o but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o must_v determine_v the_o power_n and_o authority_n eccesiastical_a or_o ministerial_a be_v from_o god_n as_o the_o civil_a power_n now_o it_o be_v not_o usual_a for_o king_n to_o be_v invest_v by_o king_n it_o be_v always_o do_v by_o their_o subject_n true_a it_o be_v in_o the_o office_n of_o ordination_n as_o appoint_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n the_o bishop_n be_v direct_v to_o say_v take_v thou_o authority_n to_o preach_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o minister_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o bishop_n that_o be_v the_o donor_n of_o that_o authority_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o will_v appear_v to_o he_o that_o do_v but_o consider_v this_o one_o thing_n they_o that_o ordain_v man_n to_o the_o office_n do_v make_v the_o office_n he_o only_o give_v the_o power_n that_o make_v the_o office_n to_o which_o the_o power_n belong_v as_o the_o king_n that_o can_v make_v corporation_n and_o mayor_n do_v give_v they_o what_o power_n they_o have_v our_o brethren_n that_o will_v nullify_v our_o ministry_n be_v please_v to_o tell_v we_o that_o bishop_n in_o ordain_v minister_n do_v give_v they_o what_o power_n they_o have_v and_o that_o minister_n can_v have_v no_o more_o power_n than_o the_o bishop_n intend_v to_o give_v they_o in_o ordination_n and_o that_o therefore_o presbyter_n can_v have_v no_o power_n to_o ordain_v because_o the_o bishop_n in_o ordain_v they_o intend_v it_o not_o to_o they_o true_a it_o be_v that_o about_o two_o hundred_o year_n ago_o all_o our_o ordination_n come_v from_o those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o episcopal_a persuasion_n and_o communion_n and_o who_o can_v pretend_v that_o they_o that_o then_o ordain_v do_v intend_v to_o give_v this_o power_n the_o argument_n be_v of_o weight_n if_o the_o bishop_n have_v make_v the_o office_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o it_o matter_n not_o what_o their_o intention_n be_v that_o then_o ordain_v minister_n be_v it_o not_o so_o what_o i_o pray_v will_v become_v of_o the_o reformation_n have_v our_o reformer_n no_o more_o power_n than_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o bishop_n intend_v to_o give_v they_o sure_o they_o never_o intend_v they_o a_o power_n to_o reform_v ordination_n therefore_o be_v but_o a_o determine_n of_o the_o person_n and_o a_o invest_n man_n in_o the_o ministry_n what_o power_n thereupon_o minister_n have_v be_v from_o god_n as_o when_o one_o of_o your_o neighbour_n be_v make_v mayor_n of_o your_o town_n he_o do_v not_o receive_v his_o power_n from_o they_o that_o choose_v he_o nor_o from_o he_o that_o swear_v he_o but_o from_o the_o king_n that_o give_v the_o charter_n three_o i_o will_v argue_v from_o the_o necessary_a consequence_n of_o that_o opinion_n that_o will_v engross_v the_o power_n of_o ordination_n to_o a_o diocesan_n and_o make_v all_o other_o ordination_n a_o mere_a nullity_n it_o follow_v and_o they_o own_v it_o that_o their_o ministry_n be_v no_o ministry_n their_o sacrament_n no_o sacrament_n their_o church_n no_o church_n and_o it_o be_v well_o if_o they_o allow_v they_o to_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n and_o yet_o these_o very_a man_n acknowledge_v that_o they_o be_v true_a minister_n and_o church_n that_o have_v roman_a ordination_n proclaim_v hereby_o a_o utter_a renunciation_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n which_o have_v no_o such_o ordination_n and_o yet_o a_o coalition_n with_o the_o roman_a church_n and_o clergy_n who_o they_o will_v allow_v if_o any_o of_o they_o will_v come_v over_o to_o we_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o ministry_n without_o ordination_n but_o not_o the_o protestant_a minister_n that_o be_v drive_v out_o of_o france_n that_o i_o do_v not_o wrong_v they_o see_v mr._n dodwell_n preface_n to_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o priesthood_n p._n 11._o where_o he_o say_v that_o we_o be_v guilty_a of_o abet_v a_o divine_a authority_n in_o man_n to_o who_o god_n have_v give_v no_o such_o authority_n that_o we_o be_v guilty_a of_o forge_v covenant_n in_o god_n name_n and_o counterfeit_v the_o great_a seal_n of_o heaven_n in_o ratification_n of_o they_o and_o what_o can_v be_v more_o treasonable_a by_o all_o the_o principle_n of_o government_n what_o be_v more_o provoke_a and_o more_o difficult_o pardonable_a these_o be_v his_o word_n and_o they_o be_v indeed_o severe_a and_o frightful_a but_o as_o one_o say_v the_o devil_n hurt_v those_o most_o he_o lest_o affright_v our_o comfort_n be_v that_o the_o old_a church_n of_o england_n own_v the_o foreign_a protestant_a church_n as_o true_a church_n and_o their_o minister_n as_o true_a pastor_n it_o be_v but_o a_o few_o i_o hope_v of_o the_o innovator_n that_o call_v themselves_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o say_v they_o have_v no_o true_a minister_n that_o have_v not_o a_o uninterrupted_a succession_n of_o diocesan_n ordination_n from_o the_o apostle_n it_o be_v these_o man_n or_o man_n of_o these_o principle_n that_o make_v the_o severe_a act_n that_o require_v re-ordination_a and_o have_v be_v the_o great_a agent_n of_o all_o the_o divide_v persecute_v silence_v law_n to_o which_o god_n almighty_a by_o bring_v in_o of_o our_o protestant_a king_n have_v put_v a_o stop_n i_o shall_v mention_v one_o consequence_n more_o that_o they_o must_v necessary_o own_o that_o go_v this_o way_n if_o our_o ministry_n without_o the_o concurrence_n of_o a_o bishop_n in_o our_o ordination_n be_v a_o nullity_n our_o ministration_n also_o in_o the_o give_v the_o sacrament_n must_v be_v a_o nullity_n a_o counterfeit_n of_o the_o broad_a seal_n of_o heaven_n to_o speak_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o beforementioned_a author_n those_o that_o we_o baptize_v be_v not_o indeed_o baptize_v it_o follow_v hence_o that_o our_o sovereign_a lord_n the_o king_n have_v
