which_o be_v best_a but_o which_o be_v the_o likely_a as_o namely_o the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o pure_a time_n of_o the_o first_o good_a emperor_n that_o embrace_v the_o faith_n for_o the_o time_n of_o persecution_n before_o temporal_a prince_n receive_v our_o faith_n as_o they_o be_v excellent_a time_n for_o doctrine_n and_o manner_n so_o they_o be_v unproper_a and_o

circumstance_n in_o the_o government_n of_o bishop_n first_o therefore_o for_o the_o government_n of_o bishop_n i_o for_o my_o part_n not_o prejudging_a the_o precedent_n of_o other_o reform_a church_n do_v hold_v it_o warrant_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o by_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n in_o the_o better_a time_n and_o much_o more_o convenient_a for_o kingdom_n than_o parity_n of_o minister_n and_o government_n by_o synod_n but_o then_o further_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o the_o church_n be_v not_o now_o to_o plant_v or_o build_v but_o only_o to_o be_v proi●ed_v from_o corruption_n and_o to_o be_v repair_v and_o restore_v in_o some_o decay_n for_o it_o be_v worth_a the_o note_v that_o the_o scripture_n say_v translato_fw-la sacerdotio_fw-la

that_o controversy_n be_v in_o peace_n and_o silence_n but_o there_o be_v two_o circumstance_n in_o the_o administration_n of_o bishop_n wherein_o i_o confess_v i_o can_v never_o be_v satisfy_v the_o
