from_o christ_n to_o the_o person_n ordain_v as_o be_v intend_v in_o his_o institution_n and_o so_o long_o as_o we_o find_v not_o any_o distinction_n which_o be_v touch_v before_o of_o order_n or_o

the_o same_o with_o the_o other_o and_o the_o lay_n on_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o one_o be_v of_o the_o same_o validity_n in_o ordination_n as_o the_o imposition_n of_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o other_o we_o do_v read_v that_o god_n have_v set_v in_o his_o church_n apostles_n evangelist_n pastor_n and_o teacher_n but_o we_o find_v not_o bishop_n and_o presbyter_n enumerate_v as_o two_o of_o they_o i_o enter_v not_o into_o dispute_n here_o but_o i_o be_o one_o that_o dare_v not_o give_v way_n to_o the_o make_v void_a of_o my_o ministry_n and_o all_o my_o ministerial_a act_n for_o a_o dozen_o
