of_o church_n government_n how_o can_v he_o continue_v a_o pastor_n that_o be_v utter_o banish_v from_o his_o flock_n and_o render_v utter_o uncapable_a of_o do_v the_o duty_n of_o his_o charge_n shall_v the_o neighbour_n bishop_n be_v his_o delegate_n and_o act_n by_o his_o power_n and_o authority_n but_o what_o if_o we_o recur_v to_o our_o former_a supposition_n that_o all_o the_o bishop_n of_o a_o kingdom_n be_v rebel_n when_o they_o be_v all_o banish_v by_o the_o state_n who_o then_o must_v govern_v the_o church_n who_o ordain_v and_o do_v other_o duty_n that_o be_v proper_a to_o a_o

of_o the_o christian_a religion_n in_o the_o several_a part_n of_o the_o world_n there_o be_v only_o one_o bishop_n in_o a_o country_n as_o at_o first_o in_o many_o country_n there_o be_v only_o one_o if_o that_o one_o have_v be_v banish_v for_o rebellion_n pray_v what_o shall_v the_o christian_n there_o plant_v have_v do_v shall_v they_o have_v live_v without_o any_o bishop_n during_o all_o his_o life_n that_o be_v banish_v or_o ought_v they_o not_o rather_o to_o have_v get_v a_o new_a one_o to_o govern_v they_o to_o supply_v the_o church_n with_o inferior_a clergy_n and_o the_o like_a here_o sir_n i_o shall_v put_v you_o in_o mind_n of_o those_o word_n of_o the_o great_a st._n chrysostom_n which_o be_v urge_v in_o the_o preface_n to_o the_o oxford_n antiquity_n when_o he_o be_v unjust_o banish_v he_o charge_v his_o people_n that_o as_o they_o hope_v for_o salvation_n they_o shall_v be_v obedient_a to_o that_o bishop_n who_o shall_v succeed_v he_o as_o to_o himself_o for_o the_o church_n say_v he_o can_v be_v without_o a_o bishop_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o that_o great_a man_n do_v never_o resign_v his_o bishopric_n but_o continue_v to_o act_v as_o a_o bishop_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n during_o all_o the_o time_n of_o his_o banishment_n that_o be_v as_o long_o as_o he_o live_v i_o shall_v only_o add_v that_o if_o the_o banishment_n of_o a_o bishop_n be_v not_o design_v to_o be_v perpetual_a as_o that_o of_o st._n chrysostom_n be_v but_o only_o for_o a_o time_n than_o there_o may_v not_o be_v any_o necessity_n that_o another_o shall_v be_v place_v in_o his_o see_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o when_o st._n athanasius_n the_o patriarch_n of_o alexandria_n be_v banish_v by_o the_o emperor_n constantine_n there_o be_v no_o new_a patriarch_n create_v that_o he_o be_v banish_v only_o for_o a_o time_n and_o that_o the_o emperor_n constantine_n intend_v to_o recall_v he_o and_o to_o restore_v he_o to_o his_o bishopric_n be_v express_o attest_v by_o the_o young_a emperor_n constantine_n in_o his_o 806._o letter_n to_o the_o church_n of_o alexandria_n by_o which_o he_o restore_v he_o to_o his_o see_n who_o add_v that_o he_o

in_o his_o synodical_a 784._o epistle_n to_o the_o synod_n of_o antioch_n conclude_v that_o the_o emperor_n constantine_n do_v not_o full_o and_o perfect_o condemn_v athanasius_n because_o there_o be_v no_o one_o put_v into_o his_o place_n during_o the_o time_n of_o his_o banishment_n if_o say_v he_o he_o have_v full_o condemn_v he_o his_o see_n will_v have_v be_v dispose_v of_o to_o another_o the_o solution_n sir_n of_o these_o query_n which_o i_o have_v propose_v will_v prove_v if_o i_o be_o not_o mistake_v a_o work_n of_o no_o great_a ease_n i_o shall_v glad_o see_v the_o knot_n fair_o untie_v without_o any_o cut_v and_o violence_n we_o will_v see_v on_o the_o contrary_a if_o you_o please_v how_o easy_o those_o knot_n may_v be_v lose_v which_o our_o adversary_n be_v wont_a to_o present_v we_o as_o the_o great_a effect_n of_o their_o skill_n ob._n 1._o how_o do_v it_o consist_v with_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o church_n and_o of_o religion_n if_o the_o secular_a governor_n have_v authority_n to_o turn_v out_o a_o bishop_n then_o all_o bishop_n may_v depend_v on_o his_o sentence_n and_o the_o church_n and_o religion_n be_v precarious_a a_o orthodox_n bishop_n may_v be_v depose_v and_o a_o heretic_n place_v in_o his_o see_n ans._n it_o can_v be_v avoid_v but_o that_o the_o church_n and_o religion_n must_v be_v always_o in_o some_o measure_n precarious_a and_o depend_v upon_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n if_o the_o governor_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o religion_n there_o be_v no_o avoid_v oppression_n wheresoever_o we_o lodge_v the_o true_a power_n of_o deprive_v a_o bishop_n now_o to_o answer_v direct_o the_o objection_n if_o the_o civil_a governor_n shall_v turn_v out_o our_o orthodox_n bishop_n and_o put_v in_o heretic_n in_o their_o place_n or_o put_v in_o none_o at_o all_o in_o their_o place_n than_o the_o church_n be_v oblige_v to_o adhere_v to_o the_o old_a one_o turn_v out_o or_o if_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n to_o procure_v new_a one_o that_o be_v orthodox_n thus_o if_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n shall_v forbid_v the_o christian_a religion_n to_o be_v preach_v in_o his_o country_n he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v obey_v because_o it_o be_v the_o
