no_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n where_o such_o minister_n as_o be_v ordain_v only_o by_o the_o presbytery_n without_o a_o bishop_n do_v administer_v we_o must_v give_v this_o answer_n 1._o that_o

of_o minister_n in_o christ_n church_n bishop_n priest_n and_o deacon_n it_o have_v be_v show_v before_o that_o however_o we_o read_v of_o bishop_n presbyter_n or_o elder_n and_o deacon_n these_o be_v

they_o set_v before_o the_o apostle_n and_o when_o they_o bid_v pray_v they_o not_z one_o of_o they_o lay_v their_o hand_n on_o they_o now_o see_v this_o be_v so_o and_o that_o at_o every_o
