in_o all_o partial_a for_o i_o can_v hardly_o believe_v any_o ingenuous_a person_n can_v write_v so_o sharp_o against_o a_o father_n of_o our_o church_n if_o he_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o he_o have_v truth_n on_o his_o side_n as_o to_o the_o main_a occasion_n of_o the_o bishop_n letter_n but_o i_o confess_v i_o be_v much_o amaze_v when_o i_o find_v our_o animadvertor_n not_o only_o silent_a as_o to_o the_o main_a business_n but_o of_o my_o lord_n bishop_n opinion_n as_o to_o the_o controversy_n if_o dr._n gunning_n and_o dr._n peerson_n state_n it_o right_o and_o yet_o he_o be_v so_o angry_a that_o through_o all_o this_o discourse_n he_o give_v the_o bishop_n not_o one_o civil_a epithet_n never_o call_v he_o lord_n but_o tax_v he_o of_o testiness_n &_o choler_n of_o malicious_a &_o ill-grounded_a fancy_n of_o unpeaceableness_n &_o virulency_n of_o trifle_v with_o scripture_n of_o boldness_n &_o impiety_n and_o that_o this_o worthy_a prelate_n may_v not_o go_v alone_o he_o call_v the_o imposer_n of_o ceremony_n unconscionable_a and_o so_o join_v all_o our_o bishop_n with_o he_o i_o never_o yet_o to_o deal_v ingenuous_o see_v so_o much_o choler_n in_o so_o few_o word_n come_v from_o the_o pen_n of_o any_o person_n much_o less_o from_o one_o who_o judgement_n as_o he_o tell_v we_o be_v for_o the_o order_n of_o bishop_n from_o one_o who_o ever_o oppose_v the_o covenant_n and_o be_v a_o zealous_a lover_n of_o the_o king_n i_o be_o now_o more_o full_o confirm_v in_o my_o former_a opinion_n that_o my_o lord_n bishop_n letter_n be_v unanswerable_a since_o our_o animadvertor_n strive_v rather_o to_o pick_v a_o quarrel_n with_o it_o than_o to_o answer_v it_o he_o have_v certain_o a_o very_a great_a desire_n of_o writing_n or_o a_o very_a great_a animosity_n against_o this_o bishop_n in_o publish_v of_o his_o animadversion_n since_o he_o know_v before_o he_o write_v they_o that_o as_o to_o the_o controversy_n the_o bishop_n be_v right_a and_o only_o here_o and_o there_o take_v out_o a_o passage_n which_o he_o think_v may_v afford_v some_o dispute_n how_o well_o he_o have_v do_v this_o this_o ensue_a discourse_n shall_v evidence_n the_o first_o exception_n he_o take_v at_o the_o bishop_n be_v that_o he_o suppose_v so_o strict_a a_o union_n and_o inseparable_a dependence_n between_o king_n and_o bishop_n that_o they_o must_v stand_v and_o fall_v together_o i_o be_o glad_a he_o confess_v the_o event_n of_o this_o war_n be_v some_o advantage_n to_o this_o position_n but_o i_o believe_v if_o he_o look_v but_o about_o he_o he_o will_v hardly_o find_v any_o that_o oppose_v their_o bishop_n but_o do_v their_o prince_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v power_n to_o do_v it_o he_o mean_v nor_o i_o suppose_v in_o his_o answer_n to_o this_o axiom_n the_o anabaptistical_n or_o fanatic_a party_n the_o munster_n rebellion_n will_v sufficient_o show_v their_o principle_n by_o their_o practice_n and_o as_o for_o the_o presbyterian_o for_o

length_n of_o time_n because_o the_o consequence_n of_o their_o position_n do_v natural_o carry_v they_o to_o the_o anabaptist_n i_o wish_v i_o can_v ever_o find_v their_o government_n in_o any_o

this_o part_n of_o the_o world_n but_o this_o by_o the_o way_n his_o first_o reason_n why_o this_o axiom_n be_v not_o true_a be_v 1._o because_o king_n be_v in_o all_o part_n of_o the_o world_n before_o bishop_n and_o what_o have_v be_v may_v be_v i_o understand_v not_o at_o all_o how_o this_o be_v argumentative_a because_o there_o be_v king_n before_o there_o be_v any_o christian_a church_n and_o so_o consequent_o before_o bishop_n therefore_o when_o there_o be_v a_o christian_a church_n king_n can_v subsist_v without_o bishop_n for_o whilst_o the_o world_n be_v heathen_a we_o find_v a_o monarchy_n among_o their_o priest_n a_o superiority_n and_o a_o inferiority_n evident_o among_o they_o and_o so_o though_o there_o be_v not_o bishop_n yet_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o have_v something_o that_o resemble_v they_o among_o the_o jew_n we_o find_v three_o distinction_n of_o clergy_n highpriest_n priest_n and_o levite_n establish_v by_o god_n himself_o which_o be_v a_o very_a probable_a argument_n they_o be_v necessary_a to_o uphold_v a_o monarchy_n for_o they_o be_v necessary_a to_o uphold_v the_o jewish_a church_n or_o else_o they_o have_v not_o be_v institute_v i_o can_v not_o have_v believe_v that_o a_o person_n that_o seem_v learned_a can_v have_v think_v that_o axiom_n reach_v further_o than_o since_o the_o world_n be_v christian_n but_o if_o he_o only_a mean_n since_o the_o world_n be_v christian_n why_o do_v he_o not_o assign_v some_o monarchy_n that_o subsist_v with_o presbytery_n i_o think_v he_o can_v name_v none_o but_o scotland_n which_o how_o long_o it_o keep_v from_o a_o rebellion_n after_o presbytery_n be_v by_o law_n there_o establish_v the_o animadvertor_n know_v as_o well_o as_o i_o do_v 2._o his_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o bishop_n as_o they_o be_v by_o law_n establish_v in_o england_n be_v pure_o the_o king_n be_v subordinate_a minister_n for_o the_o management_n of_o ecclesiastical_a affair_n this_o i_o think_v be_v more_o invalid_a than_o the_o former_a for_o allow_v what_o he_o say_v to_o be_v true_a which_o i_o be_o sure_a be_v not_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v why_o because_o the_o bishop_n be_v the_o king_n officer_n therefore_o there_o be_v not_o a_o necessity_n of_o episcopacy_n in_o a_o monarchy_n nay_o rather_o it_o enforce_v the_o contrary_a for_o it_o demonstrate_v that_o king_n ever_o judge_v episcopacy_n necessary_a to_o monarchy_n by_o always_o constitute_v such_o officer_n to_o govern_v the_o church_n under_o they_o our_o animadvertor_n will_v do_v well_o to_o assign_v a_o king_n that_o put_v down_o episcopacy_n upon_o his_o own_o free_a will_n and_o consent_n without_o the_o force_n of_o the_o people_n and_o settle_v up_o any_o other_o ecclesiastical_a government_n with_o which_o the_o monarchy_n do_v better_o subsist_v but_o beside_o his_o position_n be_v false_a for_o the_o law_n of_o england_n do_v not_o look_v upon_o the_o bishop_n meet_o as_o ecclesiastical_a officer_n but_o as_o a_o three_o estate_n without_o who_o consent_n no_o act_n of_o parliament_n do_v legal_o pass_v unless_o they_o do_v voluntary_o exclude_v themselves_o and_o that_o they_o be_v a_o three_o estate_n several_a act_n of_o parliament_n express_o call_v they_o so_o second_o all_o bishop_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o a_o double_a capacity_n first_o as_o officer_n institute_v by_o christ_n and_o so_o the_o power_n of_o church_n censure_n belong_v to_o they_o and_o this_o power_n our_o king_n never_o pretend_v to_o to_o have_v neither_o do_v our_o law_n any_o where_o cell_n you_o that_o this_o authority_n the_o king_n give_v they_o second_o as_o officer_n appoint_v by_o the_o king_n to_o exercise_v that_o former_a power_n give_v they_o by_o god_n within_o such_o bound_n and_o limit_n and_o many_o time_n out_o law_n give_v the_o bishop_n much_o power_n in_o the_o secular_a affair_n which_o will_v conduce_v to_o the_o good_a of_o the_o state_n as_o well_o as_o the_o church_n which_o power_n they_o
