for_o the_o superiority_n of_o bishop_n over_o presbyter_n which_o be_v all_o the_o subordination_n of_o pastor_n that_o we_o allow_v of_o which_o more_o present_o yet_o at_o most_o this_o can_v

he_o who_o believe_v that_o the_o superiority_n of_o bishop_n over_o presbyter_n be_v a_o apostolical_a institution_n but_o can_v find_v no_o such_o institution_n of_o a_o universal_a bishop_n can_v never_o be_v force_v by_o any_o reason_n or_o consequence_n to_o own_o such_o a_o universal_a bishop_n we_o own_o the_o subordination_n of_o presbyter_n to_o bishop_n not_o from_o reason_n but_o

matter_n of_o institution_n depend_v whole_o upon_o the_o divine_a will_n and_o pleasure_n and_o though_o all_o man_n will_v grant_v that_o god_n and_o christ_n have_v always_o great_a reason_n for_o

for_o tother_o yet_o if_o there_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o institution_n of_o the_o superiority_n of_o bishop_n over_o presbyter_n and_o no_o institution_n of_o a_o ecumenical_a pastor_n we_o may_v

yet_o before_o he_o have_v run_v down_o the_o authority_n of_o particular_a church_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v prove_v such_o a_o superior_a authority_n in_o the_o universal_a church_n to_o which_o

that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o corporal_a presence_n of_o christ_n be_v start_v upon_o occasion_n of_o the_o dispute_n about_o the_o worship_n of_o image_n in_o opposition_n whereto_o the_o
