Coloss. 1. 16. 2 Pet. 2. 10. and Iude 8. Clearely then in {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} there is no print of usurpation or of oppressive and tyrannicall power If there be we are then well warned to beware of our Bishops who not onely owne the title {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} but expressly pleade for it as Bishop Hall in his late Episcopacy part 2. page 104. Secondly {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} the very word used by Saint Matthew and Saint Marke in these before alleaged Textes whereby our Saviour forbiddeth his Apostles to exercise Dominion or Lordship is a compounded word of two {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} and {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} That is to rule as one that hath authority I may render it to be or to behave one selfe {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} juxta Secundum according as one that hath authority This preposition in words compounded hath sometimes a signification of his owne sometimes none at all as in {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} c. clearely it hath no speciall signification in this {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} much lesse a force so exegeticall as to draw the lawfull power of {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} into the exorbitancy of a Tyranny That it hath no force here is by this apparent for that the speech of our Saviour recorded by the holy Ghost in Saint Mat. and S.
