Prynn of Lincolns-Inn, Esquire, on Munday the fourth of December, 1648 touching the Kings answer to the propositions of both Houses upon the whole treaty, whether they were satisfactory, or not satisfactory : wherein the satisfactorinesse of the Kings answers to the propositions for settlement of a firm lasting peace, and future security of the subjects against all feared regall invasions and encroachments whatsoever is clearly demonstrated ... and that the armies remonstrance, Nov. 20, is a way to speedy and certain ruine ... / put into writing, and published by him at the importunate request of divers members, for the satisfaction of the whole kingdome, touching the Houses vote upon his debate.

custom_n long_o after_o the_o apostle_n time_n which_o i_o have_v prove_v at_o large_a long_o since_o in_o my_o vnbishoping_a of_o timothy_n and_o titus_n which_o none_o of_o the_o bishop_n or_o

the_o point_n to_o other_o member_n 1._o that_o there_o be_v no_o one_o text_n of_o scripture_n to_o prove_v that_o bishop_n jure_fw-la divine_a be_v distinct_a from_o presbyter_n in_o any_o thing_n much_o less_o in_o this_o particular_a of_o have_v a_o negative_a voice_n or_o sole_a or_o principal_a interest_n as_o bishop_n so_o distinguish_v in_o the_o power_n of_o ordination●_n but_o a_o

right_n be_v ground_v upon_o these_o two_o gross_a mistake_n that_o timothy_n and_o titus_n be_v bishop_n proper_o so_o call_v the_o one_o of_o ephesus_n the_o other_o of_o crete_n and_o that_o this_o power_n of_o ordain_v elder_n be_v vest_v in_o they_o quatenus_fw-la bishop_n only_o and_o not_o otherwise_o by_o divine_a institution_n for_o proof_n of_o the_o first_o the_o postscript_n of_o paul_n

clear_a as_o the_o noonday_n sun_n by_o scripture_n that_o timothy_n be_v never_o a_o bishop_n proper_o so_o call_v much_o less_o the_o first_o or_o sole_a bishop_n of_o ephesus_n as_o be_v evident_a by_o sundry_a text_n especial_o by_o act._n 20._o 4_o 5_o 6_o 15_o 17_o 18_o 21_o 29_o 30_o 31._o compare_v together_o nor_o titus_n a_o bishop_n proper_o so_o term_v distinct_a from_o a_o presbyter_n much_o less_o the_o first_o or_o sole_a bishop_n of_o crete_n nor_o do_v either_o of_o those_o text_n prove_v that_o they_o have_v the_o power_n of_o ordination_n by_o divine_a right_o vest_v in_o they_o two_o mere_o as_o bishop_n distinct_a from_o or_o superior_a to_o presbyter_n as_o i_o have_v undeniable_o manifest_v in_o my_o vnbishoping_a of_o timothy_n and_o titus_n and_o as_o for_o the_o postscript_n to_o these_o epistle_n term_v timothy_n ordain_v first_o bishop_n of_o ephesus_n and_o titus_n of_o crete_n they_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o text_n first_o extant_a in_o and_o invent_v by_o 9_o occumenius_n none_o of_o the_o authentick_v author_n above_o 1050_o year_n after_o christ_n and_o annex_v only_o to_o the_o end_n of_o his_o commentary_n on_o those_o epistle_n not_o adjoin_v to_o the_o text_n and_o they_o be_v not_o only_o omit_v in_o most_o manuscript_n and_o print_a edition_n and_o translation_n of_o these_o epistle_n but_o apparent_o false_a in_o themselves_o as_o i_o have_v at_o large_a demonstrate_v in_o some_o print_a book_n therefore_o this_o point_n of_o conscience_n may_v soon_o be_v satisfy_v 3_o that_o no_o bishop_n for_o 1200_o year_n after_o christ_n do_v ever_o claim_v the_o chief_a power_n in_o ordination_n by_o any_o divine_a right_n as_o bishop_n but_o mere_o by_o canon_n or_o custom_n long_o after_o the_o apostle_n and_o that_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n before_o any_o restriction_n by_o counsel_n presbyter_n in_o many_o place_n do_v not_o only_o prove_v ordain_v minister_n and_o deacous_a without_o bishop_n and_o bishop_n never_o but_o joint_o with_o presbyter_n but_o likewise_o ordain_v bishop_n themselves_o as_o jerome_n epiphanius_n augustine_n and_o other_o assure_v we_o and_o sometime_o join_v in_o the_o consecration_n and_o enstallment_n of_o pope_n themselves_o and_o archbishop_n for_o defect_n of_o bishop_n 4._o that_o it_o be_v the_o ecclesiae_fw-la constant_a tenant_n of_o all_o the_o eminent_a protestant_n divine_n and_o some_o learned_a papist_n too_o and_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o the_o reform_a church_n that_o the_o divine_a right_n of_o ordination_n belong_v original_o to_o the_o whole_a church_n but_o ministerial_o to_o presbyter_n as_o such_o not_o to_o bishop_n as_o bishop_n and_o that_o which_o undeniable_o clear_v it_o up_o to_o i_o be_v this_o that_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n we_o

proposition_n for_o the_o abolish_n of_o the_o office_n &_o jurisdiction_n of_o bishop_n in_o the_o church_n second_o how_o far_o he_o have_v condescend_v to_o the_o sale_n and_o disposal_n of_o their_o land_n and_o possession_n and_o whether_o his_o concession_n in_o both_o these_o be_v not_o sufficient_o satisfactory_a in_o the_o sense_n i_o have_v state_v the_o question_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o my_o debate_n of_o it_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o king_n in_o his_o two_o last_o paper_n have_v abolish_v and_o extirpate_v that_o episcopacy_n and_o prelacy_n which_o we_o intend_v and_o have_v so_o earnest_o contest_v against_o and_o contend_v now_o for_o no_o other_o but_o a_o apostolical_a bishop_n which_o be_v but_o the_o same_o in_o all_o thing_n with_o a_o ordinary_a minister_n or_o presbyter_n which_o bishop_n be_v apostolical_a and_o of_o divine_a institution_n we_o neither_o may_v nor_o can_v nor_o ever_o intend_v to_o abolish_v by_o our_o covenant_n to_o make_v this_o evident_a to_o all_o man_n conscience_n 1_o the_o king_n have_v yield_v to_o take_v away_o all_o the_o power_n and_o jurisdiction_n whatsoever_o exercise_v by_o our_o bishop_n in_o point_n of_o censure_n or_o discipline_n in_o his_o former_a answer_n and_o contend_v for_o nothing_o now_o but_o their_o power_n of_o ordination_n only_o and_o that_o not_o sole_o vest_v in_o the_o bishop_n but_o in_o he_o and_o other_o presbyter_n joint_o yet_o so_o as_o the_o bishop_n shall_v have_v a_o negative_a voice_n in_o ordination_n but_o the_o house_n vote_v this_o unsatisfactory_a because_o that_o the_o bishop_n for_o three_o year_n during_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o presbyterian_a government_n shall_v have_v the_o chief_a power_n of_o ordination_n &_o after_o those_o three_o year_n the_o sole_a power_n there_o be_v no_o other_o vest_v or_o entrust_v with_o that_o power_n after_o the_o three_o year_n expire_v so_o as_o bishop_n may_v by_o this_o mean_n creep_v in_o and_o get_v up_o again_o by_o degree_n as_o high_a as_o ever_o thereupon_o the_o king_n in_o his_o final_a answer_n hereunto_o though_o not_o full_o satisfy_v in_o point_n of_o conscience_n but_o that_o the_o power_n of_o ordination_n be_v principal_o vest_v only_o in_o bishop_n by_o divine_a authority_n have_v yet_o for_o our_o satisfaction_n thus_o far_o condescend_v to_o we_o first_o that_o for_o three_o year_n next_o ensue_v during_o the_o presbyterial_a government_n no_o bishop_n shall_v at_o all_o exercise_n this_o power_n of_o ordination_n in_o the_o church_n second_o that_o if_o he_o can_v be_v satisfy_v in_o point_n of_o conscience_n within_o that_o time_n upon_o conference_n with_o divine_n that_o this_o power_n of_o ordination_n so_o far_o as_o to_o have_v a_o negative_a voice_n in_o it_o belong_v not_o only_o unto_o apostolical_a bishop_n by_o a_o divine_a right_n then_o he_o will_v full_o consent_v to_o the_o utter_a abolition_n even_o of_o this_o power_n of_o ordination_n in_o the_o bishop_n three_o that_o after_o the_o three_o year_n be_v expire_v if_o the_o king_n can_v neither_o satisfy_v his_o house_n in_o point_n of_o conscience_n nor_o they_o he_o upon_o debate_n that_o this_o power_n of_o ordination_n belong_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la to_o bishop_n that_o yet_o the_o exercise_n of_o that_o power_n shall_v be_v total_o
