there_o cease_v not_o from_o hence_o to_o be_v a_o disparity_n of_o degree_n in_o one_o &_o the_o same_o order_n for_o the_o highpriest_n prae_fw-la caeteris_fw-la eminebat_fw-la he_o emine_a above_o

from_o the_o law_n to_o the_o gospel_n it_o shall_v prove_v inconsequentiall_a this_o be_v no_o less_o consencaneous_a &_o agreeable_a with_o the_o evangelicall_n oeconomy_n or_o dispensation_n under_o the_o gospel_n forwheras_fw-la christ_n ascend_v up_o on_o high_a he_o give_v some_o to_o be_v apostle_n &_o some_o prophet_n and_o some_o evangelist_n and_o some_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n ephes_n 4.11_o where_o there_o can_v be_v deny_v to_o have_v be_v a_o disparity_n of_o degree_n but_o lest_o there_o shall_v be_v any_o place_n here_o leave_v for_o exceprion_n that_o this_o only_a serve_v to_o militate_v here_o and_o to_o instruct_v a_o distance_n and_o disparity_n of_o degree_n betwixt_o the_o several_a class_n but_o can_v make_v nothing_o to_o instruct_v a_o disparity_n of_o

ensign_fw-la seem_v pillar_n as_o james_n cephas_n and_o john_n gal._n 2.9_o may_v not_o this_o seem_v to_o import_v some_o disparity_n if_o not_o in_o officio_fw-la saltem_fw-la in_o regimine_fw-la for_o why_o may_v there_o not_o be_v impares_fw-la gradus_fw-la in_o regimine_fw-la yea_o and_o that_o in_o aequali_fw-la officio_fw-la to_o avoid_v disorder_n and_o confusion_n what_o will_v s._n paul_n imply_v whereas_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v nothing_o inferior_a to_o the_o very_o chief_a apostle_n for_o albeit_o this_o passage_n will_v not_o straight_o subinferre_v that_o beside_o the_o twelve_o apostle_n there_o be_v other_o of_o a_o secondary_a rank_n yet_o it_o make_v the_o argument_n strong_a in_o that_o there_o be_v among_o the_o very_a twelve_o some_o more_o some_o less_o chief_a now_o magis_fw-la and_o minus_fw-la though_o they_o alter_v not_o the_o spece_fw-la they_o alter_v the_o degree_n i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a how_o some_o except_o here_o that_o there_o be_v a_o fallacy_n here_o from_o the_o communion_n of_o name_n but_o i_o pray_v you_o do_v communion_n of_o name_n import_n and_o infer_v always_o with_o it_o a_o communion_n of_o office_n and_o communion_n of_o equality_n of_o degree_n in_o the_o office_n yea_o and_o in_o the_o external_a regiment_n too_o do_v it_o straight_o follow_v from_o hence_o that_o peter_n call_v himself_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d a_o fellow-presbyter_n 1._o pet._n 5.1_o that_o he_o emine_v not_o or_o have_v no_o prerogative_n above_o these_o who_o he_o thus_o enstile_v i_o will_v glad_o learn_v where_o i_o promise_v to_o yield_v myself_o docil_n and_o teachable_a wherefore_o there_o may_v not_o be_v a_o inequality_n of_o power_n in_o government_n as_o there_o be_v a_o disparity_n acknowledge_v to_o be_v in_o other_o gift_n may_v there_o not_o fall_v our_o abuse_n in_o these_o as_o in_o that_o of_o power_n wherefore_o be_v timothy_n enstile_v the_o first_o bishop_n of_o the_o ephesian_n yea_o and_o titus_n the_o first_o bishop_n of_o the_o church_n of_o the_o cretan_n i_o know_v some_o to_o except_v here_o that_o the_o argument_n can_v be_v think_v press_v which_o be_v only_o take_v from_o the_o

call_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o a_o epistle_n in_o question_n a_o thing_n of_o a_o well_o dangerous_a consequence_n and_o give_v the_o enemy_n no_o small_a advantage_n but_o i_o reason_v not_o simple_o from_o the_o subscription_n but_o make_v scripturam_fw-la the_o body_n of_o the_o epistle_n my_o ground_n how_o be_v it_o that_o these_o charge_n be_v bear_v on_o these_o two_o on_o timothy_n that_o he_o lay_v not_o on_o hand_n sudden_o on_o no_o man_n 1._o tim._n 5.22_o yea_o and_o that_o he_o lay_v down_o rule_n to_o be_v observe_v of_o he_o in_o reprove_v vers_fw-la 1.2_o and_o on_o

further_a power_n than_o any_o ordinary_a or_o gregary_n presbyter_n to_o admit_v or_o receive_v orderly_o of_o accusation_n against_o presbyter_n but_o i_o know_v some_o to_o except_v here_o that_o timothy_n be_v a_o evangelist_n and_o that_o so_o bishop_n can_v from_o hence_o acclaime_v to_o any_o interest_n in_o that_o his_o right_n it_o wonder_v i_o to_o see_v man_n so_o blind_o wed_v to_o
