clergy_n to_o be_v true_a minister_n they_o must_v tell_v you_o yes_o because_o we_o receive_v our_o ordination_n from_o the_o bishop_n and_o therefore_o if_o they_o be_v not_o true_a minister_n we_o have_v no_o pretence_n so_o to_o be_v for_o we_o never_o repeat_v our_o ordination_n which_o i_o suppose_v among_o other_o be_v also_o the_o case_n of_o mr._n harrison_n 3_o que._n when_o the_o episcopal_a minister_n have_v be_v ask_v whether_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v a_o true_a church_n they_o have_v often_o give_v this_o answer_n yes_o for_o if_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v not_o a_o true_a church_n we_o can_v say_v they_o be_v true_a member_n for_o we_o receive_v our_o baptism_n from_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o never_o repeat_v it_o therefore_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n must_v be_v a_o true_a church_n 4_o que._n if_o you_o ask_v they_o also_o this_o question_n whether_o the_o prelate_n of_o the_o pope_n of_o rome_n be_v true_a minister_n they_o answer_v yes_o for_o we_o receive_v our_o ordination_n from_o they_o and_o never_o repeat_v it_o therefore_o they_o must_v be_v true_a minister_n beside_o if_o any_o man_n that_o be_v a_o priest_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n become_v a_o proselyte_n to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n upon_o recant_v of_o his_o popish_a error_n he_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o ministry_n without_o re-ordination_a moreover_o they_o have_v all_o three_o profess_a the_o same_o principle_n and_o spirit_n of_o persecution_n against_o those_o that_o differ_v from_o they_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n as_o be_v
