upon_o the_o regal_a so_o neither_o do_v the_o regal_a upon_o king_n conversion_n to_o christianity_n annihilate_v or_o divide_v this_o power_n but_o it_o be_v the_o same_o and_o in_o the_o same_o

the_o levite_n and_o priest_n in_o the_o administration_n of_o their_o office_n be_v god_n immediate_a minister_n and_o though_o regal_a power_n over_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n be_v as_o entire_a

thence_o schism_n in_o the_o church_n and_o sedition_n in_o the_o state_n for_o as_o socrates_n object_n to_o eutyphro_n that_o there_o must_v necessary_o be_v something_o to_o which_o man_n in_o

and_o so_o by_o consequence_n there_o can_v be_v no_o decency_n nor_o order_n in_o the_o worship_n and_o service_n of_o god_n but_o all_o thing_n therein_o leave_v in_o confusion_n and_o disorder_n which_o be_v express_o against_o the_o divine_a canon_n nor_o do_v ever_o d._n e._n or_o any_o seditious_a man_n begin_v at_o sedition_n direct_o but_o always_o pretend_a conscience_n and_o make_v

to_o the_o person_n the_o apostle_n that_o preach_v to_o the_o circumcision_n give_v the_o right_a hand_n of_o fellowship_n to_o the_o apostle_n of_o the_o gentile_n although_o their_o outward_a

grant_v the_o bishop_n that_o external_a form_n in_o god_n worship_n be_v a_o apostolic_a practice_n without_o any_o prejudice_n to_o the_o bishop_n assertion_n for_o since_o god_n in_o our_o nature_n have_v not_o leave_v in_o what_o external_a form_n he_o will_v be_v worship_v but_o to_o every_o church_n her_o liberty_n and_o therefore_o divers_a apostle_n and_o divers_a church_n ever_o do_v and_o now_o do_v use_v divers_a external_a form_n in_o their_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o church_n of_o england_n may_v use_v one_o external_a form_n different_a from_o that_o of_o

in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n or_o france_n any_o more_o than_o that_o because_o the_o law_n of_o england_n and_o france_n be_v different_a therefore_o d._n e._n be_v not_o oblige_v by_o they_o but_o may_v make_v rebellion_n and_o raise_v sedition_n in_o they_o certain_o if_o d._n e._n have_v logic_n enough_o to_o understand_v his_o argument_n i_o will_v not_o wish_v the_o bishop_n a_o
