but_o not_o effect_v whereabout_o i_o remember_v the_o controversy_n you_o have_v with_o one_o there_o be_v but_o one_o bishop_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v such_o a_o matter_n and_o although_o i_o know_v and_o have_v see_v the_o record_n themselves_o that_o afterward_o there_o be_v a_o consecration_n of_o dr._n parker_n at_o lambeth_n and_o three_o bishop_n name_v viz._n miles_n coverdal_n of_o exeter_n one_o hodgeskin_n suffragan_n of_o bedford_n and_o another_o who_o name_n i_o have_v forget_v yet_o it_o be_v very_o doubtful_a that_o coverdal_n be_v make_v bishop_n of_o exeter_n in_o

true_a head_n and_o a_o woman_n i_o can_v see_v how_o they_o can_v make_v a_o true_a consecration_n ground_v on_o her_o authority_n furthermore_o make_v your_o minister_n you_o keep_v not_o the_o right_a intention_n for_o neither_o do_v the_o orderer_n nor_o the_o order_v give_v nor_o receive_v the_o order_n as_o a_o sacrament_n nor_o with_o any_o intention_n of_o sacrifice_v also_o they_o want_v the_o matter_n and_o form_n with_o which_o according_a to_o the_o council_n and_o canon_n of_o the_o church_n holy_a order_n shall_v be_v give_v namely_o for_o the_o matter_n priesthood_n be_v give_v by_o the_o delivery_n of_o the_o patena_fw-la with_o bread_n and_o of_o the_o chalice_n with_o wine_n deaconship_n by_o the_o delivery_n of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o
