as_o be_v the_o authority_n of_o a_o visible_a church_n efficacy_n of_o ordination_n difference_n between_o clergy_n and_o laiety_n etc._n etc._n here_o first_o you_o deny_v that_o those_o principle_n

you_o therefore_o bid_v i_o prove_v that_o those_o principle_n be_v ever_o deny_v by_o our_o prelate_n protestant_n because_o i_o say_v that_o our_o prelate_n protestant_n here_o in_o england_n as_o

sir_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o here_o once_o for_o all_o that_o i_o think_v it_o sufficient_a for_o my_o design_n to_o set_v down_o either_o for_o papist_n or_o protestant_n when_o

say_v i_o must_v have_v a_o bishop_n or_o otherwise_o she_o will_v not_o have_v such_o a_o visible_a head_n as_o she_o have_v at_o first_o etc._n etc._n this_o that_o you_o may_v evacuate_v you_o tell_v i_o that_o the_o church_n have_v still_o the_o same_o head_n she_o have_v which_o be_v christ_n who_o be_v present_a with_o his_o church_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o law_n and_o be_v man_n god_n

more_o here_o to_o say_v than_o only_a this_o that_o my_o argument_n for_o prelacy_n howsoever_o in_o your_o word_n you_o may_v disable_v it_o be_v not_o weaken_v by_o you_o in_o deed_n at_o all_o and_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v perceiv_v not_o understand_v yet_o two_o thing_n i_o shall_v tell_v you_o over_o and_o above_o what_o i_o need_v in_o this_o affair_n also_o first_o be_v that_o roman_a catholics_n do_v more_o true_o and_o cordial_o acknowledge_v the_o respective_a christian_a king_n of_o any_o kingdom_n to_o be_v supreme_a head_n of_o his_o catholic_a subject_n even_o in_o affair_n of_o religion_n than_o any_o other_o whether_o independent_o presbyterian_o or_o even_o prelate_n protestant_n have_n if_o we_o speak_v of_o truth_n and_o reality_n ever_o do_v and_o this_o i_o can_v easy_o make_v good_a both_o by_o the_o law_n and_o practice_n of_o all_o catholic_a kingdom_n upon_o earth_n in_o any_o age_n on_o one_o side_n and_o the_o opposite_a practice_n of_o all_o protestant_n on_o the_o other_o second_o be_v that_o for_o what_o reason_n roman_z catholics_n deny_v a_o prince_n to_o be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n for_o the_o same_o aught_o all_o other_o as_o they_o deny_v it_o in_o deed_n so_o if_o they_o will_v speak_v sincere_o as_o they_o think_v and_o act_v to_o deny_v it_o in_o word_n also_o as_o well_o as_o they_o for_o catholics_n do_v believe_v he_o to_o be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n from_o who_o the_o channel_n of_o religion_n and_o all_o direction_n in_o it_o be_v derive_v and_o flow_v for_o which_o reason_n a_o spring_n be_v say_v to_o be_v head_n of_o a_o river_n but_o neither_o do_v any_o king_n upon_o earth_n except_o he_o be_v priest_n and_o prophet_n too_o ever_o trouble_v himself_o to_o derive_v religion_n as_o the_o pope_n have_v ever_o do_v neither_o do_v either_o protestant_n presbyterian_a or_o independent_a either_o in_o england_n or_o elsewhere_o ever_o seek_v for_o religion_n from_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o king_n or_o supplicate_v unto_o he_o when_o any_o doubt_n arise_v in_o those_o affair_n as_o they_o ought_v in_o conscience_n and_o honesty_n to_o do_v for_o a_o final_a decision_n any_o more_o than_o the_o roman_a catholic_n do_v so_o that_o whatever_o any_o of_o they_o may_v say_v all_o protestant_n do_v as_o much_o deny_v the_o thing_n in_o their_o behaviour_n as_o catholics_n do_v in_o word_n and_o catholics_n do_v in_o their_o behaviour_n observe_v as_o much_o as_o protestant_n either_o practice_v or_o pretend_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o roman_a catholics_n in_o all_o occur_v difficulty_n of_o faith_n both_o have_v their_o recours_fw-fr unto_o their_o papal_a pastor_n unto_o who_o king_n themselves_o for_o their_o own_o ease_n remit_v they_o and_o acquiesce_v also_o to_o his_o decision_n and_o judgement_n but_o only_o because_o they_o believe_v he_o to_o be_v head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o if_o protestant_n have_v no_o such_o recours_fw-fr nor_o will_v not_o
