confirm_v by_o other_o preacher_n and_o doctor_n here_o this_o be_v also_o witness_v both_o by_o origen_n and_o theodoret_n not_o to_o speak_v of_o those_o who_o some_o of_o they_o affirm_v that_o

custom_n and_o many_o of_o her_o tenant_n or_o question_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o relation_n my_o reason_n for_o this_o be_v because_o when_o in_o the_o year_n 601._o austin_n the_o monk_n first_o require_v obedience_n to_o the_o roman_a church_n in_o three_o thing_n viz._n 1._o in_o paschate_n celebrando_fw-la 2._o in_fw-la baptismo_fw-la ministrando_fw-la 3._o in_fw-la praedicando_fw-la

contrary_a to_o his_o direction_n from_o gregory_n bishop_n of_o rome_n who_o send_v he_o hither_o for_o he_o incense_v edlefred_n so_o against_o the_o poor_a christian_n of_o bangor_n that_o he_o put_v twelve_o hundred_o of_o they_o to_o the_o sword_n of_o this_o the_o reason_n be_v give_v quia_fw-la noluere_fw-la obsequium_fw-la augustino_fw-la praebere_fw-la because_o they_o will_v not_o submit_v to_o austin_n will_n for_o this_o be_v indeed_o the_o quarrel_n as_o our_o writer_n say_v this_o their_o refusal_n to_o yield_v to_o austin_n the_o monk_n i_o produce_v as_o a_o proof_n that_o the_o christian_n which_o he_o find_v here_o hold_v in_o many_o thing_n with_o the_o eastern_a church_n as_o have_v their_o doctrine_n from_o jerusalem_n and_o zion_n whence_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o be_v send_v isaiah_n 2._o 3._o mic._n 4._o 2._o to_o the_o nation_n and_o whence_o as_o salvation_n go_v psal._n 14._o 7._o so_o likewise_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n for_o christ_n who_o give_v the_o apostle_n commission_n to_o go_v to_o all_o nation_n and_o preach_v to_o they_o the_o gospel_n do_v bid_v they_o stay_v at_o jerusalem_n till_o the_o holy_a ghost_n furnish_v they_o with_o gift_n for_o the_o work_n command_v this_o further_a appear_v by_o that_o resolute_a answer_n which_o the_o abbot_n of_o bangor_n give_v to_o austin_n the_o monk_n anno_fw-la 601._o viz._n that_o he_o and_o his_o acknowledge_v no_o superiority_n in_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n over_o they_o nor_o any_o superior_a but_o their_o own_o archbishop_n caer-leonis_n or_o as_o some_o have_v it_o senovensis_fw-la qui_fw-la sub_fw-la deo_fw-la solus_fw-la positus_fw-la fuit_fw-la super_fw-la illos_fw-la ad_fw-la supervidendum_fw-la and_o ad_fw-la faciendum_fw-la illos_fw-la seruare_fw-la

champion_n thus_o answer_v it_o be_v probable_a that_o they_o be_v of_o the_o primitive_a institution_n and_o this_o i_o the_o rather_o give_v credit_n unto_o because_o if_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n have_v then_o hold_v the_o present_a tenet_n of_o that_o church_n that_o their_o city_n be_v the_o spiritual_a metropolis_n and_o that_o their_o bishop_n be_v caput_fw-la ecclesiae_fw-la our_o predecessor_n will_v have_v acknowledge_v the_o pope_n and_o his_o see_n as_o they_o have_v be_v teach_v but_o baronius_n say_v that_o our_o british_a bishop_n be_v as_o ancient_a as_o those_o of_o rome_n and_o it_o be_v probable_a they_o be_v so_o for_o this_o we_o have_v good_a proof_n that_o at_o a_o council_n at_o arles_n hold_v anno_fw-la dom._n 314._o we_o have_v three_o bishop_n viz._n 1._o eborius_n de_fw-fr civitate_fw-la eboraci_fw-la episcopus_fw-la 2._o restitutus_n de_fw-fr civitate_fw-la londini_fw-la episcopus_fw-la 3._o aldelfius_fw-la de_fw-la civitate_fw-la coloniae_fw-la londinensium_n and_o exinde_fw-la sacerdos_fw-la presbyter_fw-la arminius_fw-la diaconus_fw-la eborius_n bishop_n of_o york_n restitutus_n bishop_n of_o london_n adelfius_n bishop_n of_o colchester_n and_o after_o they_o sacerdos_fw-la a_o presbyter_n arminius_fw-la a_o deacon_n these_o subscribe_v in_o this_o synod_n here_o therefore_o i_o observe_v that_o anno_fw-la 314._o we_o have_v bishop_n presbyter_n and_o deacon_n the_o very_a governor_n now_o in_o question_n and_o romish_a they_o be_v not_o as_o i_o conceive_v because_o they_o then_o acknowledge_v not_o a_o subordination_n to_o rome_n and_o because_o vrban_n the_o second_o call_v learned_a anselm_n patriarcha_fw-la britaniae_fw-la the_o patriarch_n of_o britain_n therefore_o methinks_v it_o shall_v not_o now_o be_v question_v whether_o episcopacy_n be_v a_o romish_a relic_n but_o rather_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v confirm_v as_o a_o evangelical_a ordinance_n and_o as_o ancient_a as_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o church_n and_o as_o a_o call_v appoint_v by_o the_o apostle_n what_o more_o have_v we_o for_o baptism_n of_o infant_n what_o more_o for_o our_o sunday_n or_o the_o lord_n day_n but_o convince_a deduction_n from_o the_o scripture_n or_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o same_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n successive_o to_o this_o very_a day_n yet_o we_o hold_v both_o these_o to_o be_v sacred_a ordinance_n and_o of_o divine_a institution_n though_o they_o both_o be_v question_v by_o some_o learned_a man_n of_o the_o reform_a church_n as_o episcopacy_n be_v among_o some_o of_o we_o the_o case_n be_v alike_o and_o as_o clear_v if_o not_o much_o more_o for_o episcopacy_n that_o it_o have_v a_o divine_a institution_n if_o what_o be_v former_o say_v satisfy_v not_o i_o will_v only_o use_v this_o argument_n more_o to_o prove_v that_o episcopacy_n be_v iure_fw-la divino_fw-la if_o the_o charge_n give_v 1_o tim._n 6._o 14._o be_v to_o timothy_n personal_o and_o be_v perpetual_a than_o it_o be_v to_o one_o person_n namely_o to_o timothy_n and_o to_o the_o successor_n in_o his_o place_n for_o timothy_n be_v mortal_a so_o that_o the_o perpetuity_n of_o the_o charge_n must_v reach_v to_o all_o his_o successor_n till_o the_o appear_n of_o the_o lord_n christ_n jesus_n but_o the_o charge_n be_v personal_a to_o timothy_n and_o perpetual_a even_o to_o the_o appear_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n therefore_o it_o be_v to_o one_o person_n viz._n to_o timothy_n and_o to_o his_o successor_n for_o ever_o if_o it_o be_v here_o object_v that_o the_o charge_n there_o be_v object_n give_v to_o timothy_n as_o elsewhere_o the_o key_n to_o peter_n and_o according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v say_v quod_fw-la dixit_fw-la
