this_o church_n of_o we_o be_v first_o plant_v by_o some_o either_o apostle_n or_o apostolical_a man_n which_o can_v easy_o be_v prove_v 2._o 3._o n._n 3._o that_o the_o feast_n of_o christmas_n be_v set_v up_o that_o be_v a_o institution_n but_o correct_v or_o celebrate_v by_o those_o that_o first_o plant_v the_o faith_n here_o i._n e._n some_o apostle_n or_o apostolical_a person_n which_o be_v more_o improbable_a 3._o that_o what_o be_v by_o so_o good_a authority_n introduce_v have_v no_o equal_a reason_n to_o supersede_n it_o may_v not_o without_o temerity_n now_o be_v abolish_v by_o any_o etc._n etc._n and_o this_o be_v the_o main_a question_n which_o be_v found_v upon_o the_o two_o other_o unproved_a supposition_n fall_v together_o with_o they_o yet_o the_o doctor_n will_v prove_v this_o last_o by_o induction_n not_o by_o any_o other_o person_n pope_n 4._o p._n 250._o n._n 4._o or_o consiscory_n because_o none_o have_v power_n over_o a_o church_n found_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o not_o subject_v to_o any_o but_o this_o suppose_v it_o found_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o that_o that_o only_o make_v a_o church_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d her_o own_o supreme_a head_n whereas_o if_o she_o be_v plant_v neither_o by_o a_o apostle_n nor_o apostolical_a man_n but_o by_o a_o ordinary_a minister_n she_o be_v free_a from_o subjection_n to_o any_o other_o head_n not_o say_v he_o by_o the_o church_n itself_o what_o may_v not_o the_o church_n itself_o alter_v she_o own_o institution_n be_v her_o canon_n unreversible_a no_o because_o it_o can_v be_v now_o suppose_v to_o have_v any_o such_o person_n in_o it_o as_o may_v be_v fit_a to_o compare_v with_o the_o first_o founder_n of_o it_o but_o then_o the_o feast_n of_o easter_n on_o the_o jewish_a day_n may_v not_o by_o the_o after_o church_n be_v abolish_v as_o it_o be_v because_o no_o such_o person_n as_o john_n and_o philip_n can_v be_v suppose_v there_o and_o beside_o it_o will_v make_v all_o the_o apostle_n observation_n unchangeable_a and_o divine_a yet_o there_o be_v one_o help_n leave_v not_o without_o some_o great_a reason_n for_o the_o change_n and_o abolish_n than_o they_o may_v appear_v to_o have_v have_v for_o the_o use_n of_o it_o this_o will_v come_v again_o in_o hypothesi_fw-la to_o be_v consider_v i_o shall_v only_o ask_v now_o what_o better_a reason_n have_v constantine_n to_o change_v the_o jewish_a day_n to_o the_o lord_n day_n when_o the_o asian_a church_n have_v the_o gospel_n and_o canon_n of_o faith_n to_o find_v their_o custom_n on_o but_o see_v the_o application_n of_o his_o discourse_n 1._o i_o grant_v the_o english_a to_o be_v subject_a to_o no_o foreign_a power_n 5._o n._n 5._o he_o demand_v whether_o it_o be_v subordinate_a to_o it_o be_v own_o son_n or_o

demand_v whether_o it_o be_v subordinate_a to_o its_o own_o father_n the_o bishop_n for_o they_o he_o mean_v and_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o ask_v it_o be_v because_o he_o say_v even_o now_o that_o which_o be_v by_o so_o good_a authority_n introduce_v as_o his_o christmas_n he_o say_v be_v by_o some_o apostle_n etc._n etc._n may_v not_o without_o temerity_n be_v abolish_v by_o any_o not_o by_o

unchangeable_a 6._o n._n 6._o the_o doctor_n complain_v of_o change_v make_v in_o his_o inference_n he_o never_o assirm_v of_o those_o ceremony_n once_o institute_v that_o they_o may_v not_o upon_o
