succession_n be_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o english_a clergy_n as_o they_o pretend_v it_o must_v be_v the_o shame_n and_o confusion_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o brethren_n to_o want_v it_o and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o the_o shame_n but_o glory_n of_o other_o to_o want_v it_o yea_o to_o cry_n shame_n upon_o it_o and_o to_o reject_v it_o as_o a_o superstitious_a relic_n of_o popery_n and_o mark_v of_o antichrist_n as_o other_o think_v no_o less_o wise_a and_o learned_a then_o themselves_o it_o must_v be_v the_o shame_n of_o our_o clergy_n to_o have_v it_o and_o a_o great_a ignomy_n to_o glory_n in_o their_o shame_n let_v they_o rather_o look_v upon_o that_o evangelical_n example_n which_o the_o protestant_a minister_n of_o france_n their_o brethren_n if_o they_o will_v acknowledge_v
