this_o chapter_n have_v give_v we_o a_o second_o reason_n for_o his_o first_o conclusion_n scz_n that_o timothy_n and_o titus_n be_v ordain_v bishop_n by_o s._n paul_n he_o now_o tender_v we_o a_o second_o prosyllogisme_n to_o confirm_v the_o antecedent_n of_o his_o first_o argument_n but_o to_o let_v he_o go_v free_a with_o this_o fault_n i_o will_v answer_v this_o argument_n as_o it_o stand_v &_o first_o to_o the_o proposition_n which_o although_o it_o never_o see_v the_o sun_n before_o his_o defence_n come_v abroad_o he_o take_v for_o grant_v because_o t_n c_o and_o his_o refuter_fw-la have_v assail_v it_o in_o vain_a so_o he_o flatter_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o conceit_n but_o all_o in_o vain_a for_o a_o mean_a scholar_n then_o t._n c._n or_o his_o refuter_fw-la either_o may_v easy_o discern_v the_o inconsequence_n of_o his_o proposition_n although_o he_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v fortify_v the_o presupposal_n which_o he_o conclude_v with_o a_o double_a bulwark_n both_o of_o describe_v the_o authority_n and_o of_o prescribe_v the_o duty_n of_o bishop_n for_o s._n paul_n in_o his_o speech_n to_o the_o elder_n of_o ephesus_n acts._n 20._o 18._o etc._n etc._n describe_v his_o own_o office_n and_o authority_n as_o he_o be_v the_o superintendent_n of_o that_o church_n &_o precedent_n of_o the_o presbytery_n there_o plain_o describe_v the_o office_n and_o authority_n

office_n of_o a_o superintendent_n or_o precedent_n of_o the_o presbytery_n in_o that_o church_n of_o ephesus_n wherefore_o neither_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o tim_n &_o titus_n presuppose_v their_o ordination_n to_o the_o office_n of_o bishop_n in_o the_o church_n of_o ephesus_n and_o crete_n though_o it_o shall_v be_v grant_v that_o in_o describe_v

he_o both_o describe_v the_o office_n and_o prescribe_v the_o duty_n of_o bishop_n but_o this_o which_o he_o assume_v for_o a_o truth_n i_o reject_v as_o a_o assertion_n no_o less_o void_a of_o truth_n then_o the_o main_a conclusion_n now_o in_o question_n for_o it_o be_v ground_v upon_o this_o false_a supposition_n that_o none_o other_o than_o diocesan_n bishop_n have_v in_o those_o time_n

scarce_o commend_v his_o honesty_n or_o discretion_n but_o if_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o these_o proof_n before_o lay_v down_o in_o his_o sermon_n receive_v no_o answer_n at_o all_o do_v he_o not_o too_o much_o forget_v himself_o since_o he_o take_v notice_n in_o the_o next_o page_n follow_v of_o this_o reason_n yield_v for_o the_o denial_n of_o his_o assumption_n viz._n that_o those_o

over_o all_o the_o church_n of_o any_o kingdom_n or_o country_n we_o have_v reason_n to_o think_v that_o titus_n his_o commission_n be_v extraordinary_a in_o deed_n theodoret_n on_o 1._o tim._n 3._o
