the_o jesuit_n to_o support_v the_o cause_n of_o prelacy_n if_o any_o say_v this_o separation_n of_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n be_v not_o to_o the_o office_n of_o the_o ministry_n but_o to_o a_o

imposition_n of_o hand_n to_o a_o ministerial_a work_n now_o the_o question_n be_v who_o have_v power_n to_o perform_v these_o action_n here_o the_o presbyter_n do_v it_o they_o to_o who_o all_o the_o outward_a action_n of_o ordination_n belong_v to_o they_o the_o ordain_v power_n belong_v as_o he_o that_o have_v power_n to_o wash_v a_o child_n with_o water_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n

to_o god_n he_o that_o have_v power_n to_o set_v apart_o bread_n and_o wine_n for_o sacramental_a use_n have_v power_n to_o administer_v the_o lord_n supper_n so_o here_o they_o that_o have_v power_n to_o dedicate_v person_n to_o god_n for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o ministry_n by_o fast_v prayer_n and_o imposition_n of_o hand_n have_v power_n of_o ordination_n it_o be_v true_a a_o lay-patron_n may_v give_v one_o power_n to_o exercise_v his_o ministry_n that_o can_v give_v the_o office_n but_o can_v he_o do_v this_o by_o repeat_v all_o the_o solemn_a act_n of_o ordination_n can_v he_o use_v the_o same_o form_n of_o ordination_n with_o the_o ordain_v bishop_n can_v he_o lay_v hand_n upon_o the_o person_n ordain_v and_o by_o fast_v and_o prayer_n devote_v he_o to_o god_n in_o the_o public_a congregation_n i_o think_v none_o will_v affirm_v it_o if_o he_o can_v invest_v a_o person_n by_o repeat_v the_o whole_a form_n of_o ordination_n because_o he_o be_v a_o layman_n and_o have_v not_o the_o ordain_v power_n therefore_o they_o that_o can_v use_v the_o form_n of_o ordination_n have_v power_n to_o ordain_v the_o bishop_n will_v not_o like_v it_o if_o all_o those_o that_o be_v
