peaceable_a in_o herself_o let_v she_o most_o effectual_o persuade_v peace_n to_o other_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o she_o be_v at_o her_o liberty_n whether_o she_o will_v give_v any_o security_n to_o those_o who_o have_v no_o authority_n and_o aught_o to_o give_v no_o security_n to_o sin_n even_o to_o the_o best_a authority_n you_o talk_v here_o like_o one_o that_o be_v more_o than_o a_o erastian_n and_o willing_a to_o give_v up_o not_o only_o the_o church_n but_o even_o good_a and_o evil_a itself_o to_o the_o state_n indeed_o you_o endeavour_v to_o

thorough_o you_o come_v at_o length_n to_o tell_v we_o your_o mind_n that_o the_o people_n by_o judgement_n of_o conscience_n for_o their_o own_o salvation_n and_o the_o church_n peace_n may_v separate_v from_o a_o imposturous_a bishop_n and_o address_v to_o other_o social_n bishop_n to_o consecrate_v they_o another_o and_o for_o this_o you_o produce_v the_o instance_n of_o martialis_n and_o basilides_n p._n 20._o but_o what_o be_v this_o to_o our_o case_n be_v our_o bishop_n impostor_n this_o certain_o you_o must_v mean_v if_o you_o say_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o purpose_n if_o it_o be_v so_o the_o work_n be_v do_v prove_v only_o that_o and_o we_o will_v forsake_v they_o but_o if_o you_o can_v bethink_v yourself_o what_o a_o villainous_a crime_n it_o be_v thus_o sly_o to_o

without_o breach_n of_o the_o five_o comment_n and_o divers_a other_o such_o mystery_n which_o make_v the_o devil_n laugh_v in_o his_o sleeve_n to_o see_v himself_o furnish_v with_o such_o able_a

take_v off_o for_o if_o the_o crime_n be_v nothing_o like_o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o difference_n between_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o jewish_a and_o christian_a church_n if_o it_o be_v a_o manifest_a session_n on_o abiathar_n part_n all_o which_o you_o have_v well_o prove_v then_o that_o instance_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n come_v up_o to_o this_o case_n to_o these_o you_o may_v have_v

the_o discharge_n of_o that_o great_a office_n be_v debar_v the_o execution_n of_o it_o and_o another_o depute_a to_o it_o for_o that_o he_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o name_n honour_n and_o share_v in_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o priesthood_n i_o believe_v can_v be_v easy_o prove_v for_o after_o all_o this_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o title_n be_v still_o allow_v he_o 1_o king_n 4._o 4._o and_o if_o the_o field_n at_o anathoth_n do_v belong_v to_o the_o high_a priest_n it_o seem_v to_o put_v the_o matter_n out_o of_o doubt_n so_o that_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o state_n of_o
