of_o scripture_n so_o that_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o authority_n of_o the_o synod_n be_v mere_o declarative_a yet_o the_o question_n will_v still_o recur_v whether_o they_o understand_v the_o

in_o gregory_n the_o great_a be_v time_n to_o wave_v the_o more_o ancient_a pretension_n of_o the_o british_a church_n and_o the_o bishop_n of_o this_o church_n be_v bind_v by_o one_o of_o their_o

most_o disputable_a thing_n that_o can_v be_v especial_o during_o that_o schism_n that_o last_v almost_o forty_o year_n all_o the_o church_n of_o that_o communion_n have_v derive_v their_o order_n from_o one_o or_o other_o of_o the_o pope_n and_o if_o the_o pope_n at_o avignon_n be_v the_o usurper_n then_o let_v the_o gallican_n church_n see_v how_o they_o can_v justify_v the_o series_n of_o their_o ordination_n to_o all_o which_o may_v be_v add_v the_o impossibility_n of_o prove_v a_o true_a succession_n in_o order_n if_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacrament_n depend_v on_o the_o

the_o church_n can_v be_v only_o compose_v of_o good_a man_n and_o that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v of_o no_o virtue_n when_o dispense_v by_o ill_a hand_n all_o that_o s._n austin_n say_v be_v to_o be_v

that_o threaten_a clause_n of_o forfeiture_n use_v by_o those_o of_o constance_n in_o their_o decree_n for_o a_o general_n council_n 19_o and_o at_o trent_n it_o be_v declare_v that_o if_o any_o
