A59901	A vindication of some Protestant principles of Church-unity and Catholick-communion, from the charge of agreement with the Church of Rome in answer to a late pamphlet, intituled, an agreement between the Church of England and the Church of Rome, evinced from the concertation of some of her sons with their brethren the dissenters / by William Sherlock ...

well_o but_o he_o undertake_v for_o we_o that_o we_o will_v not_o grant_v that_o the_o universal_a church_n be_v a_o unorganize_v body_n because_o it_o lay_v a_o necessary_a foundation_n for_o

consist_v of_o particular_a church_n as_o of_o integral_a part_n but_o now_o the_o apostle_n make_v every_o particular_a church_n to_o be_v such_o a_o organise_v body_n consist_v of_o all_o the_o

now_o observe_v consist_v of_o a_o bishop_n presbyter_n deacon_n and_o faithful_a people_n and_o the_o whole_a catholic_n church_n consist_v of_o the_o same_o part_n and_o can_v have_v no_o other_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o bishop_n presbyter_n deacon_n christian_a people_n to_o make_v up_o this_o catholic_n church_n but_o what_o belong_v to_o some_o particular_a church_n and_o yet_o

of_o the_o same_o part_n of_o all_o particular_a church_n into_o one_o and_o then_o the_o union_n of_o all_o these_o unite_a part_n into_o one_o body_n make_v the_o one_o catholic_n church_n as_o to_o explain_v this_o brief_o st._n cyprian_n tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o episcopacy_n or_o one_o bishopric_n as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v and_o therefore_o all_o the_o bishop_n who_o be_v now_o disperse_v over_o all_o the_o world_n and_o have_v the_o supreme_a government_n of_o their_o particular_a church_n must_v be_v reckon_v but_o one_o bishop_n for_o tho'_o their_o natural_a person_n be_v distinct_a they_o be_v but_o one_o ecclesiastical_a person_n their_o office_n power_n and_o dignity_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o not_o divide_v into_o part_n but_o exercise_v by_o all_o of_o they_o in_o their_o several_a church_n with_o the_o same_o fullness_n and_o plenitude_n of_o power_n and_o thus_o we_o have_v find_v out_o one_o bishop_n for_o the_o one_o catholic_n church_n all_o the_o bishop_n in_o the_o world_n be_v but_o one_o for_o tho'_o they_o be_v many_o distinct_a person_n they_o be_v but_o one_o power_n and_o exercise_v the_o same_o office_n without_o division_n or_o multiplication_n and_o thus_o all_o the_o presbyter_n in_o the_o world_n who_o be_v under_o the_o direction_n and_o government_n of_o their_o several_a bishop_n be_v but_o one_o presbytery_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n for_o if_o the_o episcopacy_n be_v but_o one_o the_o presbytery_n must_v be_v but_o one_o also_o in_o subordination_n to_o this_o one_o episcopacy_n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o deacon_n and_o of_o christian_a people_n that_o they_o be_v but_o one_o body_n and_o communion_n under_o one_o bishop_n where_o there_o be_v but_o one_o bishop_n there_o can_v be_v but_o one_o church_n and_o therefore_o one_o episcopacy_n unite_v all_o christian_n into_o one_o body_n and_o communion_n how_o this_o be_v consistant_fw-la with_o the_o many_o schism_n and_o division_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n shall_v be_v account_v for_o elsewhere_o this_o be_v a_o plain_a intelligible_a account_n how_o all_o the_o particular_a church_n in_o the_o world_n be_v but_o one_o church_n because_o all_o the_o part_n and_o member_n which_o answer_n to_o each_o other_o in_o these_o particular_a church_n be_v but_o one_o by_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n all_o their_o bishop_n but_o one_o bishop_n all_o their_o presbyter_n but_o one_o presbytery_n all_o the_o christian_n of_o particular_a church_n but_o one_o body_n and_o communion_n and_o thus_o the_o catholic_n church_n be_v a_o organise_v body_n consist_v of_o the_o same_o part_n that_o all_o particular_a church_n consist_v of_o just_o as_o if_o five_o thousand_o man_n who_o body_n have_v

no_o other_o notion_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n as_o consider_v in_o this_o world_n ethink_v be_v very_o plain_a from_o this_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o notion_n of_o a_o church_n and_o therefore_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o particular_a church_n must_v have_v the_o very_a same_o nature_n and_o integral_a part_n if_o a_o bishop_n presbyter_n and_o christian_a people_n make_v a_o particular_a church_n there_o must_v be_v the_o very_a same_o part_n in_o the_o catholic_n church_n or_o you_o must_v show_v we_o two_o distinct_a notion_n of_o a_o church_n and_o that_o the_o
