be_v of_o that_o judgement_n that_o there_o be_v no_o particular_a form_n of_o church-government_n lay_v down_o in_o the_o word_n which_o judgement_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v of_o unless_o they_o will_v hold_v that_o the_o government_n of_o other_o church_n be_v sinful_a and_o contrary_a unto_o the_o word_n which_o they_o be_v loath_a for_o to_o do_v and_o true_o if_o this_o government_n be_v simple_o the_o best_a the_o best_a have_v the_o worst_a success_n for_o there_o be_v no_o government_n in_o all_o the_o church_n of_o christendom_n that_o have_v have_v so_o many_o sect_n and_o

they_o depart_v from_o the_o protestant_a church_n there_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o church-government_n or_o discipline_n but_o by_o reason_n of_o doctrine_n let_v any_o man_n but_o serious_o

any_o man_n shall_v say_v this_o bad_a success_n here_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o governor_n than_o the_o corruption_n of_o government_n why_o shall_v he_o think_v that_o the_o governor_n in_o england_n be_v more_o wicked_a then_o in_o other_o protestant_a church_n if_o the_o government_n itself_o do_v not_o give_v scope_n to_o their_o wickedness_n and_o if_o the_o government_n of_o diocesan_n bishop_n be_v of_o all_o government_n the_o best_a we_o wonder_v that_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n shall_v not_o appoint_v it_o sure_o they_o appoint_v some_o government_n in_o the_o church_n and_o what_o they_o appoint_v be_v â—ure_a divino_fw-la and_o so_o best_a whereas_o this_o be_v never_o count_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la till_o of_o late_o but_o if_o this_o government_n be_v simple_o the_o best_a it_o will_v abide_v trial_n in_o its_o due_a time_n and_o place_n but_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o good_a as_o that_o the_o abolish_n thereof_o

indeed_o it_o concern_v all_o such_o as_o will_v resist_v upon_o the_o principle_n now_o teach_v to_o render_v their_o prince_n odious_a to_o his_o people_n under_o the_o hateful_a notion_n of_o

who_o may_v not_o see_v how_o tender_a the_o parliament_n have_v be_v of_o the_o king_n honour_n therefore_o they_o have_v not_o be_v willing_a to_o believe_v that_o those_o declaration_n that_o

though_o saul_n come_v out_o against_o he_o yet_o do_v he_o not_o impute_v that_o unnatural_a war_n unto_o saul_n himself_o so_o much_o as_o unto_o those_o that_o be_v about_o he_o say_v unto_o saul_n

may_v in_o the_o least_o measure_n reflect_v upon_o his_o majesty_n i_o have_v observe_v that_o they_o never_o do_v write_v so_o but_o to_o vindicate_v and_o to_o clear_v themselves_o from_o some_o

in_o this_o matter_n the_o other_o thing_n in_o this_o section_n be_v most_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o therefore_o i_o must_v refer_v they_o to_o man_n sense_n only_o i_o can_v but_o observe_v how_o
