what_o will_v he_o conclude_v from_o hence_o the_o very_a same_o as_o before_o for_o his_o argument_n in_o brief_a be_v this_o subject_n be_v oft_o time_n rebellious_a to_o their_o superior_n therefore_o it_o be_v better_o there_o be_v no_o superior_n at_o all_o but_o may_v he_o not_o as_o rational_o argue_v that_o god_n be_v governor_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o the_o far_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n not_o in_o one_o or_o two_o but_o in_o all_o age_n from_o the_o beginning_n have_v be_v rebellious_a to_o he_o therefore_o his_o government_n be_v of_o

ought_v to_o have_v take_v notice_n that_o never_o any_o regular_a pretend_a episcopacy_n to_o be_v antichristian_a as_o the_o doctor_n friend_n the_o presbyterian_o independent_o and_o other_o late_a sect_n have_v do_v neither_o have_v they_o declare_v a_o government_n by_o bishop_n to_o be_v in_o itself_o indifferent_a or_o that_o ordination_n and_o consecration_n of_o bishop_n and_o priest_n be_v a_o mere_a ceremony_n and_o confer_v as_o well_o and_o legal_o by_o lay_v magistrate_n as_o by_o ecclesiastic_n as_o the_o doctor_n himself_o have_v do_v the_o whole_a controversy_n consist_v among_o catholic_n about_o restrain_v some_o part_n of_o episcopal_a jurisdiction_n and_o maintain_v privilege_n grant_v by_o some_o pope_n to_o certain_a regulars_n a_o vast_a difference_n therefore_o there_o be_v between_o catholic_n and_o protestant_n in_o dispute_n touch_v church_n government_n and_o utter_o irremediable_a on_o the_o protestant_n side_n whereas_o we_o see_v it_o

a_o more_o certain_a way_n of_o end_a controversy_n therefore_o he_o conclude_v that_o protestant_n have_v a_o more_o certain_a and_o safe_a way_n of_o unity_n than_o catholic_n for_o that_o the_o
