presbyter_n must_v act_v in_o dependence_n and_o with_o consent_n of_o his_o bishop_n in_o many_o thing_n but_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v he_o from_o be_v a_o pastor_n joint_o with_o his_o bishop_n of_o the_o whole_a diocese_n and_o particular_o in_o his_o own_o cure_n iv._o let_v i_o observe_v further_o that_o neither_o presbyterian_o or_o independent_o can_v with_o any_o reason_n object_n this_o to_o our_o presbyter_n for_o every_o presbyterian_a minister_n depend_v on_o his_o brethren_n in_o these_o act_n and_o can_v neither_o excommunicate_v or_o perform_v any_o other_o proper_a

than_o that_o of_o a_o synod_n and_o the_o bishop_n be_v oblige_v by_o know_a rule_n and_o law_n to_o concur_v in_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v reasonable_a whereas_o general_o your_o matter_n be_v arbitrary_a and_o depend_v on_o the_o major_a vote_n as_o to_o the_o congregational_a minister_n they_o in_o these_o act_n depend_v on_o the_o consent_n of_o their_o own_o congregation_n in_o who_o according_a to_o they_o the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n be_v original_o seat_v and_o they_o can_v excommunicate_v any_o without_o consent_n of_o their_o people_n which_o be_v more_o opposite_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o pastor_n than_o act_v with_o the_o consent_n of_o a_o bishop_n and_o in_o subordination_n to_o he_o and_o indeed_o such_o minister_n be_v rather_o mere_a servant_n than_o
