only_o be_v this_o agreeable_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n see_v john_n 21._o where_o christ_n say_v to_o he_o as_o my_o father_n have_v send_v i_o even_o so_o send_v i_o you_o and_o say_v paul_n

and_o because_o paul_n write_v to_o titus_n to_o ordain_v elder_n and_o the_o presbyter_n lay_v on_o their_o hand_n and_o paul_n advise_v timothy_n to_o commit_v to_o faithful_a man_n the_o thing_n

at_o all_o what_o he_o return_v on_o i_o for_o assert_v the_o true_a minister_n be_v ordain_v by_o god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n i_o retort_v on_o he_o that_o we_o have_v nothing_o but_o his_o bare_a

be_v they_o a_o protestant_a church_n of_o england_n and_o be_v it_o before_o rome_n depart_v from_o the_o faith_n this_o be_v that_o he_o be_v to_o prove_v if_o he_o can_v or_o can_v he_o prove_v a_o
