be_v which_o special_o offend_v he_o the_o first_o be_v that_o i_o say_v that_o the_o name_n of_o bishop_n and_o presbyter_n be_v promiscuous_o take_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o one_o and_o the_o same_o the_o second_o that_o i_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o order_n of_o presbyter_n and_o bishop_n the_o three_o and_o that_o the_o great_a be_v that_o i_o

faith_n but_o to_o be_v a_o thing_n wherein_o the_o primitive_a church_n use_v her_o liberty_n and_o prudence_n when_o she_o judge_v the_o pre-eminence_n of_o one_o to_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o mantain_n of_o order_n and_o conserve_n of_o peace_n and_o that_o unity_n may_v well_o be_v keep_v whole_a and_o entire_a between_o church_n though_o they_o differ_v upon_o that_o point_n i_o confess_v these_o thing_n be_v write_v by_o i_o which_o lest_o they_o be_v draw_v to_o a_o wrong_a sense_n or_o be_v take_v in_o the_o worse_a part_n take_v i_o pray_v brief_o my_o meaning_n in_o they_o i_o say_v indeed_o that_o the_o name_n of_o bishop_n and_o presbyter_n be_v take_v for_o all_o one_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o i_o think_v not_o that_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o bishop_n be_v less'n_v thereby_o since_o i_o speak_v only_o of_o the_o name_n not_o of_o the_o office_n only_o and_o i_o have_v beside_o clear_a place_n of_o scripture_n the_o consent_n not_o only_o of_o hierom_n the_o presbyter_n but_o also_o of_o the_o most_o famous_a bishop_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n chrysostom_n ambrose_n theodoret_n who_o take_v it_o not_o as_o a_o wrong_n to_o they_o or_o that_o any_o thing_n be_v abate_v of_o their_o honour_n if_o it_o be_v believe_v that_o the_o name_n of_o bishop_n and_o presbyter_n be_v at_o first_o use_v in_o the_o same_o sense_n that_o the_o order_n indeed_o of_o bishop_n and_o presbyter_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o that_o i_o say_v for_o so_o do_v the_o ancient_a church_n ever_o think_v and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n think_v so_o to_o this_o day_n although_o there_o be_v in_o that_o church_n a_o incredible_a difference_n betwixt_o the_o pomp_n of_o the_o bishop_n and_o the_o meanness_n of_o the_o priest_n thence_o it_o be_v that_o in_o the_o roman_a pontifical_a there_o be_v set_v down_o the_o consecration_n of_o bishop_n but_o not_o the_o ordination_n of_o they_o indeed_o order_n be_v one_o thing_n a_o degree_n another_o for_o man_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o order_n may_v differ_v in_o degree_n and_o dignity_n even_o as_o among_o bishop_n the_o degree_n of_o archbishop_n be_v the_o more_o eminent_a howbeit_o that_o this_o episcopal_a degree_n and_o prerogative_n be_v by_o ecclesiastical_a not_o by_o divine_a right_n i_o confess_v it_o be_v say_v by_o i_o for_o beside_o that_o to_o speak_v otherwise_o then_o i_o think_v have_v not_o be_v the_o part_n of_o a_o upright_o honest_a man_n you_o according_a to_o your_o wont_a goodness_n will_v easy_o judge_n that_o a_o french_a man_n live_v under_o the_o polity_n of_o the_o french_a church_n can_v not_o speak_v otherwise_o but_o he_o must_v incur_v the_o censure_n of_o our_o synod_n and_o under_o the_o danger_n {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o of_o degrade_v be_v force_v to_o a_o recantation_n for_o to_o think_v that_o our_o church_n do_v err_v in_o point_n of_o faith_n and_o in_o that_o which_o be_v of_o divine_a right_n be_v questionless_a to_o brand_v they_o with_o the_o note_n of_o heresy_n and_o to_o shake_v the_o conscience_n of_o many_o weak_a one_o true_o i_o come_v very_o unwilling_o to_o the_o writing_n of_o this_o book_n but_o our_o church_n require_v it_o and_o late_o enforce_v i_o for_o to_o stop_v the_o insolency_n of_o our_o adversary_n who_o in_o this_o point_n insult_v over_o we_o out_o of_o all_o temper_n and_o speak_v of_o we_o as_o of_o so_o many_o doltish_a mushroom_n new_o spring_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o as_o of_o a_o company_n of_o

of_o england_n with_o out_o due_a honour_n these_o thing_n i_o think_v fit_a to_o write_v to_o you_o great_a sir_n by_o who_o i_o chief_o desire_v my_o paper_n may_v be_v approve_v i_o have_v send_v
