substance_n may_v be_v there_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o exceed_v sinful_a now_o for_o we_o to_o submit_v to_o their_o impurity_n consider_v that_o these_o three_o thing_n only_o excuse_v in_o error_n circumstantial_a 1_o when_o the_o error_n be_v so_o slight_a that_o it_o be_v no_o prejudice_n to_o the_o substance_n nor_o do_v engage_v to_o other_o pernicious_a error_n do_v not_o ordination_n

rome_n or_o shall_v we_o say_v that_o man_n have_v a_o sincere_a aim_n that_o shall_v go_v thither_o to_o submit_v to_o it_o now_o 3_o when_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n be_v viz._n 1_o when_o we_o

where_o than_o at_o rome_n in_o more_o purity_n answer_v sir_n be_v it_o not_o in_o more_o purity_n do_v by_o the_o minister_n in_o england_n than_o by_o those_o at_o rome_n query_n 17._o if_o you_o shall_v say_v the_o protestant-ordination_a be_v lawful_a and_o that_o only_a then_o i_o query_n which_o of_o those_o whether_o the_o episcopal_a presbyterian_a or_o independent_a ordination_n be_v that_o which_o be_v approve_v by_o christ_n to_o empower_v the_o minister_n to_o preach_v since_o all_o these_o be_v protestant_n and_o great_o differ_v in_o this_o thing_n counter-query_a do_v you_o not_o easy_o see_v by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v that_o the_o protestant_a ordination_n only_o be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v lawful_a to_o we_o now_o do_v you_o not_o as_o easy_o see_v the_o episcopal_a presbyterian_a and_o the_o most_o sober_a independent_a minister_n own_o the_o essence_n of_o this_o ordinance_n viz._n that_o it_o be_v a_o set_n apart_o man_n to_o the_o ministry_n by_o

intermixture_n 3._o ought_v we_o not_o then_o to_o say_v that_o ordination_n by_o all_o or_o any_o of_o they_o be_v approve_v by_o christ_n and_o true_a christian_n to_o empower_v minister_n to_o

way_n great_o out_o in_o cry_v up_o the_o ordination_n by_o bishop_n to_o be_v the_o only_a authoritative_a ordination_n in_o opposition_n to_o that_o of_o the_o presbytery_n and_o that_o they_o do_v so_o will_v appear_v if_o you_o consult_v dr._n jer._n taylor_n chaplain_n to_o the_o late_a king_n in_o his_o book_n call_v episcopacy_n assert_v page_n 120_o 121_o 122._o it_o be_v clear_a say_v he_o that_o bishop_n be_v to_o do_v some_o act_n which_o the_o presbyter_n can_v not_o do_v one_o of_o which_o he_o call_v ordination_n by_o imposition_n of_o hand_n which_o he_o say_v be_v not_o to_o be_v do_v by_o presbyter_n again_o the_o say_a doctor_n say_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v impose_v hand_n for_o confirmation_n which_o say_v he_o be_v to_o continue_v in_o the_o church_n and_o can_v
