who_o have_v no_o power_n to_o alter_v the_o form_n of_o ordination_n practise_v general_o in_o the_o christian_a church_n before_o their_o time_n can_v not_o possible_o give_v they_o apostolical_a

to_o consecrate_v other_o &_o so_o master_n parker_n suppose_v he_o have_v the_o true_a matter_n &_o form_n of_o episcopal_a order_n apply_v unto_o he_o yet_o can_v he_o not_o be_v true_a bishop_n for_o want_n of_o authority_n in_o his_o ordainer_n who_o can_v not_o possible_o give_v that_o he_o have_v not_o himself_o secondlie_o it_o be_v false_a that_o those_o word_n receive_v the_o holy_a
