need_v add_v nothing_o about_o they_o only_o from_o all_o i_o have_v say_v i_o suppose_v it_o be_v indisputable_o clear_a that_o if_o ordination_n or_o consecration_n upon_o the_o king_n mandate_n be_v invalid_a which_o this_o paper_n drive_v at_o then_o all_o the_o ordination_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n be_v also_o annul_v since_o for_o many_o age_n they_o be_v all_o make_v upon_o the_o mandate_n of_o emperor_n and_o king_n by_o all_o which_o you_o may_v see_v the_o great_a weakness_n of_o this_o argument_n i_o shall_v to_o this_o add_v some_o remark_n on_o a_o few_o particular_n of_o less_o weight_n that_o be_v insinuate_v in_o this_o argument_n first_o the_o writer_n of_o it_o will_v infer_v from_o the_o queen_n call_v cardinal_n pool_n the_o late_a and_o immediate_a archbishop_n and_o pastor_n of_o canterbury_n that_o we_o acknowledge_v catholic_n ordination_n valid_a lawful_a and_o good_a if_o by_o valid_a lawful_a and_o good_a be_v understand_v that_o which_o retain_v the_o essential_o of_o ordination_n and_o be_v according_a to_o the_o then_o law_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n to_o be_v make_v of_o it_o but_o if_o he_o mean_v that_o all_o the_o form_n and_o ceremony_n of_o their_o ordination_n be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v good_a he_o will_v never_o draw_v that_o inference_n from_o these_o word_n second_o from_o the_o clause_n of_o the_o patent_n that_o be_v for_o supply_v all_o defect_n consider_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o time_n he_o will_v infer_v there_o be_v somewhat_o want_v in_o they_o which_o be_v thereby_o supply_v if_o by_o that_o want_v he_o mean_v a_o essential_a defect_n there_o be_v none_o such_o for_o they_o be_v true_a bishop_n if_o he_o mean_v only_o that_o some_o thing_n be_v not_o according_a to_o what_o the_o law_n require_v it_o be_v of_o no_o force_n for_o whoever_o make_v a_o law_n can_v also_o dispense_v with_o it_o therefore_o the_o execution_n of_o these_o law_n be_v put_v in_o the_o queen_n hand_n she_o may_v well_o dispense_v with_o some_o particular_n all_o which_o the_o parliament_n do_v afterward_o confirm_v and_o any_o defect_n in_o the_o point_n of_o law_n may_v make_v they_o liable_a to_o the_o civil_a power_n but_o it_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v pretend_v that_o this_o shall_v annul_v the_o ordination_n though_o illegal_o go_v about_o three_o he_o will_v infer_v from_o the_o act_n of_o parliament_n that_o the_o queen_n be_v make_v pope_n when_o he_o know_v that_o both_o by_o one_o of_o the_o article_n of_o the_o church_n and_o another_o act_n of_o parliament_n it_o be_v declare_v otherwise_o express_a word_n as_o follow_v where_o we_o attribute_v magist._n to_o the_o queen_n majesty_n the_o chief_a government_n by_o which_o title_n we_o understand_v the_o mind_n of_o some_o

authority_n to_o what_o office_n they_o will_v have_v make_v saint_n and_o add_v devotion_n to_o they_o as_o they_o please_v all_o person_n in_o that_o communion_n must_v either_o by_o a_o blind_a

themselves_o leave_v to_o examine_v the_o office_n whether_o they_o do_v it_o by_o the_o scripture_n the_o father_n and_o tradition_n or_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o reason_n they_o must_v needs_o see_v there_o be_v many_o injustifiable_a thing_n in_o their_o office_n many_o saint_n be_v in_o the_o breviary_n about_o who_o canonisation_n they_o be_v not_o at_o all_o assure_a and_o in_o a_o word_n one_o shall_v not_o speak_v with_o one_o of_o these_o principle_n but_o they_o will_v acknowledge_v there_o be_v great_a need_n of_o reform_v their_o office_n yet_o they_o must_v worship_v god_n according_a to_o they_o as_o they_o be_v otherwise_o they_o be_v schismatic_n and_o fall_v under_o that_o same_o condemnation_n for_o which_o they_o be_v so_o severe_a upon_o we_o therefore_o it_o must_v either_o be_v the_o merit_n of_o the_o cause_n that_o make_v a_o schismatic_a or_o if_o a_o condemnation_n for_o separate_v from_o authorize_v office_n do_v it_o than_o they_o must_v resolve_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o or_o worship_n god_n contrary_a to_o their_o conscience_n they_o have_v no_o rule_n for_o their_o office_n but_o the_o pope_n pleasure_n for_o council_n never_o make_v any_o and_o indeed_o it_o be_v the_o most_o unreasonable_a thing_n that_o can_v be_v to_o put_v the_o direction_n of_o the_o whole_a worship_n of_o god_n in_o one_o man_n or_o a_o succession_n of_o

therefore_o no_o such_o power_n be_v give_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o sign_n or_o word_n in_o the_o protestant_a form_n i_o prove_v out_o of_o the_o form_n itself_o which_o be_v this_o make_v in_o king_n edward_n the_o vi_o time_n and_o continue_v till_o the_o happy_a restauration_n of_o his_o majesty_n that_o now_o be_v take_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o remember_v that_o thou_o stir_v

soberness_n in_o which_o be_v not_o any_o word_n signify_v episcopal_a power_n or_o ordination_n and_o therefore_o for_o this_o defect_n in_o their_o form_n they_o be_v no_o true_a bishop_n against_o what_o have_v be_v say_v you_o will_v object_v first_o that_o i_o prove_v they_o to_o be_v no_o priest_n because_o they_o be_v no_o bishop_n that_o make_v they_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n i_o prove_v they_o no_o bishop_n because_o they_o be_v no_o priest_n which_o be_v a_o vicious_a circle_n but_o i_o easy_o answer_v this_o because_o i_o first_o prove_v à_fw-fr priori_fw-la that_o be_v from_o the_o essential_a which_o ought_v to_o give_v be_v to_o each_o of_o they_o that_fw-mi they_o be_v several_o null_a and_o each_o of_o they_o be_v null_a for_o that_o reason_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o it_o be_v a_o cause_n of_o invalidity_n in_o the_o other_o for_o as_o he_o can_v be_v no_o bishop_n who_o be_v prove_v to_o be_v no_o priest_n so_o he_o can_v make_v no_o priest_n who_o be_v prove_v to_o be_v no_o bishop_n second_o you_o will_v object_v and_o salve_v up_o all_o the_o defect_n aforementioned_a in_o one_o word_n to_o wit_n that_o although_o the_o form_n use_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v invalid_a in_o king_n edward_n '_o s_z queen_n elizabeth_n king_n james_n '_o s_z and_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o be_v time_n for_o want_v of_o a_o valid_a form_n of_o ordination_n yet_o now_o it_o be_v valid_a in_o our_o sovereign_a king_n charles_n the_o second_v with_o who_o the_o parliament_n now_o sit_v have_v appoint_v a_o true_a form_n enact_v that_o for_o the_o future_a to_o wit_n after_o st._n bartholomew_n day_n 1662._o the_o form_n of_o ordain_v a_o priest_n shall_v be_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o the_o office_n of_o a_o priest_n and_o of_o a_o bishop_n receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o the_o office_n and_o work_n of_o a_o bishop_n but_o to_o this_o i_o will_v answer_v you_o in_o another_o word_n that_o the_o salve_n be_v worse_a than_o the_o sore_a because_o by_o this_o change_n of_o the_o form_n before_o establish_v they_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v null_a for_o why_o else_o need_v they_o change_v it_o second_o by_o it_o they_o in_o effect_n acknowledge_v all_o their_o bishop_n and_o priest_n till_o that_o time_n to_o be_v null_a because_o ordain_v by_o a_o form_n that_o be_v null_n and_o can_v not_o give_v power_n it_o have_v not_o nor_o signify_v three_o because_o be_v no_o bishop_n already_o they_o can_v ordain_v valid_o by_o any_o form_n whatsoever_o for_o no_o man_n can_v give_v what_o he_o have_v not_o as_o have_v be_v say_v before_o last_o whatsoever_o power_n this_o act_n give_v to_o ordain_v be_v from_o the_o parliament_n and_o not_o from_o christ_n which_o be_v what_o i_o first_o
