scripture_n the_o authority_n of_o counsel_n and_o synod_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v satisfaction_n to_o most_o of_o the_o material_a ground_n which_o have_v mislead_v you_o in_o your_o churchway_n

of_o this_o question_n and_o case_n out_o of_o whitaker_n chamier_n and_o cameron_n who_o be_v full_a and_o clear_a that_o it_o be_v not_o against_o the_o perfection_n and_o sufficiency_n of_o the_o

you_o hold_v then_o always_o by_o your_o practice_n for_o one_o of_o your_o church_n have_v be_v some_o year_n without_o a_o pastor_n the_o first_o and_o chief_a officer_n and_o yet_o you_o set_v up_o

teacher_n how_o can_v you_o affirm_v of_o they_o to_o be_v more_o ecclesiastic_a person_n than_o your_o deacon_n or_o then_o the_o elder_n of_o other_o reform_a church_n and_o as_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o government_n and_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n you_o do_v forget_v here_o what_o you_o be_v to_o write_v in_o the_o 16_o page_n and_o in_o the_o 21_o how_o one_o of_o your_o church_n
