except_o as_o before_o except_v then_o i_o query_n whether_o your_o ordination_n be_v derive_v from_o the_o line_n of_o succession_n or_o whether_o it_o have_v its_o original_a from_o necessity_n because_o such_o a_o ordination_n by_o succession_n can_v not_o be_v have_v this_o question_n be_v ground_v partly_o upon_o what_o you_o preach_v partly_o upon_o what_o you_o grant_v i_o at_o your_o house_n viz._n that_o where_o it_o can_v be_v have_v from_o a_o lawful_a successive_a power_n there_o a_o man_n may_v lawful_o officiate_v in_o the_o office_n of_o the_o ministry_n without_o it_o and_o that_o because_o he_o be_v put_v upon_o it_o through_o necessity_n since_o therefore_o you_o say_v there_o be_v but_o these_o two_o way_n by_o which_o a_o man_n may_v be_v justify_v in_o preach_v or_o the_o poeple_n in_o hear_v i_o query_n now_o as_o i_o do_v at_o your_o house_n by_o which_o of_o these_o two_o way_n come_v you_o into_o the_o ministry_n for_o you_o tell_v we_o that_o none_o can_v pretend_v to_o necessity_n when_o it_o may_v be_v have_v by_o succession_n counter-query_a do_v not_o you_o grant_v 1_o that_o a_o true_a succession_n make_v true_a minister_n 2_o that_o where_o succession_n be_v break_v off_o there_o be_v a_o case_n of_o necessity_n 3_o that_o such_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n to_o which_o a_o positive_a law_n give_v place_n make_v true_a minister_n be_v not_o here_o then_o a_o unanswerable_a argument_n that_o the_o present_a ministry_n of_o england_n be_v true_a and_o lawful_a minister_n because_o the_o first_o reformer_n be_v such_o from_o who_o they_o receive_v it_o for_o if_o the_o true_a line_n of_o succession_n be_v quite_o break_v off_o than_o the_o first_o reformer_n be_v true_a minister_n by_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n if_o the_o true_a line_n of_o succession_n be_v not_o break_v off_o than_o they_o be_v true_a minister_n by_o succession_n so_o that_o if_o the_o first_o reformer_n must_v needs_o be_v true_a minister_n than_o these_o likewise_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o that_o receive_v it_o from_o they_o sir_n i_o challenge_v you_o to_o answer_v this_o argument_n by_o the_o next_o do_v you_o miserable_o shuffle_v off_o answer_v by_o propound_v query_n and_o do_v the_o follow_a query_n any_o way_n answer_v the_o argument_n if_o your_o query_n prove_v there_o be_v no_o succession_n evident_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n or_o if_o they_o prove_v no_o necessity_n must_v there_o not_o needs_o be_v a_o succession_n be_v not_o therefore_o your_o query_n to_o the_o forty_o to_o no_o purpose_n but_o to_o follow_v you_o query_n 27._o if_o you_o say_v by_o succession_n then_o sure_o you_o succeed_v from_o rome_n if_o so_o than_o i_o query_n whether_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n and_o her_o ministry_n and_o ordinance_n the_o ministry_n and_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n when_o your_o predecessor_n receive_v their_o ordination_n from_o they_o if_o so_o then_o counter-query_a why_o may_v there_o not_o be_v a_o lawful_a succession_n from_o the_o apostle_n by_o rome_n if_o you_o say_v a_o necessity_n and_o succession_n can_v be_v consistent_a at_o the_o same_o time_n because_o if_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n there_o can_v be_v no_o succession_n and_o if_o a_o succession_n no_o necessity_n then_o i_o query_n whether_o though_o there_o be_v not_o a_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o the_o susception_n of_o the_o office_n without_o ordination_n when_o a_o ordination_n may_v be_v have_v yet_o there_o may_v not_o be_v so_o far_o a_o necessity_n as_o to_o make_v valid_a a_o impure_a ordination_n when_o no_o better_o can_v be_v have_v for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o essentials_n of_o ordination_n may_v remain_v notwithstanding_o circumstantial_a corruption_n consider_v 1_o have_v not_o ordinance_n their_o foundation_n upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v they_o not_o consist_v in_o a_o conformity_n to_o the_o divine_a institution_n 2_o have_v ordination_n any_o dependence_n as_o to_o its_o essence_n upon_o the_o opinion_n or_o practice_n of_o man_n whilst_o they_o hold_v this_o conformity_n as_o to_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o ordinance_n 3_o can_v then_o the_o corruption_n either_o of_o receiver_n or_o of_o dispenser_n null_a this_o ordinance_n of_o ordination_n if_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o first_o popish_a corrupt_a receiver_n or_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o popish_a dispenser_n of_o it_o can_v not_o null_a this_o ordinance_n than_o there_o be_v a_o true_a succession_n of_o it_o and_o the_o papist_n can_v not_o break_v off_o this_o succession_n either_o in_o their_o receive_n or_o give_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v true_o hand_v down_o to_o our_o first_o reformer_n i_o shall_v therefore_o prove_v 1_o that_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o first_o corrupt_a receiver_n that_o first_o receive_v this_o ordinance_n from_o the_o apostle_n or_o their_o successor_n that_o do_v pure_o administer_v it_o can_v not_o null_a this_o ordinance_n or_o break_v off_o this_o line_n of_o succession_n if_o because_o we_o be_v corrupt_a and_o unholy_a the_o ordinance_n be_v no_o ordinance_n than_o god_n ordinance_n depend_v upon_o man_n holiness_n so_o that_o if_o all_o the_o world_n in_o a_o sense_n shall_v be_v corrupt_a god_n shall_v have_v no_o law_n or_o ordinance_n in_o the_o world_n then_o you_o may_v well_o recant_v your_o book_n against_o the_o quaker_n and_o tell_v we_o now_o that_o we_o must_v look_v to_o our_o light_n and_o holiness_n within_o more_o than_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n if_o

for_o if_o he_o be_v worthy_a he_o be_v not_o guilty_a if_o unworthy_a than_o he_o be_v corrupt_a and_o if_o the_o former_a principle_n be_v true_a the_o sacrament_n be_v null_v and_o it_o represent_v
