favour_n in_o hope_n of_o his_o recantation_n as_o his_o good_a nature_n make_v he_o do_v many_o thing_n of_o that_o kind_a but_o whether_o he_o do_v or_o not_o i_o can_v say_v to_o conclude_v this_o point_n until_o you_o shall_v prove_v this_o position_n by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o i_o will_v regal_a authority_n i_o shall_v think_v all_o popular_a reformation_n little_o better_o than_o rebellion_n for_o i_o hold_v that_o no_o authority_n be_v lawful_a but_o that_o which_o be_v either_o direct_o give_v or_o at_o least_o approve_v by_o god_n 2_o concern_v the_o english_a reformation_n the_o first_o reason_n you_o bring_v why_o q._n elizabeth_n do_v not_o finish_v it_o be_v because_o she_o take_v not_o away_o episcopacy_n the_o hint_n of_o reason_n against_o which_o government_n your_o say_n i_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o now_o i_o think_v it_o be_v sufficient_a notice_n yea_o and_o answer_v too_o when_o i_o tell_v you_o a_o negative_a as_o i_o conceive_v can_v not_o be_v prove_v and_o that_o it_o be_v for_o i_o to_o prove_v the_o affirmative_a which_o i_o shall_v either_o do_v or_o yield_v the_o argument_n as_o soon_o as_o i_o shall_v be_v assist_v with_o book_n or_o such_o man_n of_o my_o opinion_n who_o like_v you_o have_v a_o library_n in_o their_o brain_n and_o so_o i_o must_v leave_v this_o particular_a until_o i_o be_v furnish_v with_o mean_n to_o put_v it_o to_o a_o issue_n which_o have_v be_v soon_o do_v if_o i_o can_v have_v have_v my_o will_n indeed_o your_o second_o well_o prove_v be_v most_o sufficient_a which_o be_v that_o the_o english_a church-government_n be_v not_o build_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n but_o i_o conceive_v your_o probation_n of_o this_o double_o defective_a for_o first_o albeit_o our_o archbishop_n and_o bishop_n shall_v have_v profess_v church-government_n to_o be_v mutable_a &_o ambulatory_a i_o conceive_v it_o not_o sufficient_a to_o prove_v your_o assertion_n and_o second_o i_o be_o confident_a you_o can_v prove_v that_o most_o of_o they_o maintain_v this_o walk_a position_n for_o some_o particular_n must_v not_o conclude_v the_o general_a for_o which_o you_o must_v find_v much_o better_a argument_n than_o their_o be_v content_a with_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o authority_n and_o munificence_n of_o prince_n or_o you_o will_v fall_v extreme_o short_a as_o for_o the_o retain_v of_o the_o roman_a leven_n you_o must_v prove_v it_o as_o well_o as_o say_v it_o else_o you_o say_v little_a but_o that_o the_o conform_v of_o the_o church_n discipline_n to_o the_o civil_a policy_n shall_v be_v a_o deprave_a of_o it_o i_o absolute_o deny_v for_o i_o aver_v that_o without_o it_o the_o church_n can_v neither_o flourish_v nor_o be_v happy_a and_o for_o your_o last_o instance_n you_o shall_v do_v well_o to_o show_v the_o prohibition_n of_o our_o saviour_n against_o addition_n of_o more_o officer_n in_o the_o church_n than_o he_o name_v and_o yet_o in_o one_o sense_n i_o do_v not_o conceive_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v add_v any_o for_o a_o archbishop_n be_v only_o a_o distinction_n for_o order_n of_o government_n not_o a_o new_a officer_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n and_o of_o this_o kind_n i_o believe_v there_o be_v diverse_a now_o in_o scotland_n which_o you_o will_v not_o condemn_v as_o the_o moderator_n of_o assembly_n and_o other_o 4._o where_o you_o find_v a_o bishop_n and_o presbyter_n in_o scripture_n to_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o which_o i_o deny_v to_o be_v always_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o apostle_n time_n now_o i_o think_v to_o prove_v the_o order_n of_o bishop_n succeed_v that_o of_o the_o apostle_n and_o that_o the_o name_n be_v chief_o alter_v in_o reverence_n to_o those_o who_o be_v immediate_o choose_v by_o our_o saviour_n albeit_o in_o their_o time_n they_o cause_v diverse_a to_o be_v call_v so_o as_o barnabas_n and_o other_o so_o that_o i_o believe_v this_o argument_n make_v little_a for_o you_o as_o for_o your_o proof_n of_o the_o antiquity_n of_o presbyterian_a government_n it_o be_v well_o that_o the_o assembly_n of_o divine_n at_o westminster_n can_v do_v more_o than_o eusebius_n can_v and_o i_o shall_v believe_v when_o i_o see_v it_o for_o your_o former_a paper_n affirm_v that_o those_o time_n be_v very_o dark_a for_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o will_v be_v so_o still_o for_o i_o if_o there_o be_v no_o clear_a argument_n to_o prove_v it_o than_o those_o you_o mention_v for_o because_o there_o be_v diverse_a congregation_n in_o jerusalem_n ergo_fw-la what_o be_v there_o not_o divers_a parish_n in_o one_o diocese_n your_o two_n first_o i_o answer_v but_o as_o one_o argument_n and_o because_o the_o apostle_n meet_v with_o those_o of_o the_o inferior_a order_n for_o act_n of_o government_n what_o then_o even_o so_o in_o these_o time_n do_v the_o dean_n and_o chapter_n and_o many_o time_n those_o of_o the_o inferior_a clergy_n assist_v the_o bishop_n but_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o pretend_v to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o equality_n between_o the_o apostle_n and_o other_o presbyter_n which_o not_o be_v do_v in_o my_o judgement_n quite_o invalidate_v these_o argument_n and_o if_o you_o can_v say_v no_o more_o for_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n ephesus_n thessalonica_n etc._n etc._n then_o you_o have_v for_o jerusalem_n it_o will_v gain_v no_o ground_n on_o i_o as_o for_o s._n jerome_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o he_o be_v no_o great_a friend_n to_o bishop_n as_o be_v none_o himself_o yet_o take_v he_o altogether_o and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o he_o make_v a_o clear_a distinction_n between_o a_o bishop_n and_o a_o presbyter_n as_o yourself_o confess_v but_o the_o truth_n be_v he_o be_v angry_a with_o those_o who_o maintain_v deacon_n to_o be_v equal_a to_o presbyter_n 5._o i_o be_o well_o satisfy_v with_o the_o explanation_n of_o your_o meaning_n concern_v the_o word_n fallacy_n though_o i_o think_v to_o have_v have_v reason_n for_o say_v what_o i_o do_v but_o by_o your_o favour_n i_o do_v not_o conceive_v that_o you_o have_v answer_v the_o strength_n of_o my_o argument_n for_o when_o you_o and_o i_o differ_v upon_o the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n and_o i_o appeal_v to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o the_o universal_a consent_n of_o the_o father_n to_o be_v judge_n between_o we_o methinks_v you_o shall_v either_o find_v a_o fit_a or_o submit_v to_o what_o i_o offer_v neither_o of_o which_o to_o my_o understanding_n you_o have_v yet_o do_v nor_o have_v you_o show_v how_o wave_v those_o judge_n i_o appeal_v unto_o the_o mischief_n of_o the_o interpretation_n by_o private_a spirit_n can_v be_v prevent_v indeed_o if_o i_o can_v prove_v by_o antiquity_n that_o ordination_n and_o jurisdiction_n belong_v to_o bishop_n thereby_o clear_o distinguish_v they_o from_o other_o presbyter_n i_o shall_v then_o begin_v to_o misdoubt_v many_o of_o my_o former_a foundation_n as_o for_o bishop_n davenant_n he_o be_v none_o of_o those_o to_o who_o i_o have_v appeal_v or_o will_v submit_v unto_o but_o for_o the_o exception_n you_o take_v to_o father_n i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v a_o beg_n of_o the_o question_n as_o likewise_o those_o great_a discovery_n of_o secret_n not_o know_v to_o former_a age_n i_o shall_v call_v new_o invent_v fancy_n until_o particular_o you_o shall_v prove_v the_o contrary_a and_o for_o your_o roman_a author_n it_o be_v no_o great_a wonder_n for_o they_o to_o seek_v shift_n whereby_o to_o maintain_v novelty_n as_o well_o as_o the_o puritan_n as_o for_o church-ambition_n it_o do_v not_o at_o all_o terminate_v in_o seek_v to_o be_v pope_n for_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v no_o point_n of_o humility_n to_o endeavour_v to_o be_v independent_a of_o king_n it_o be_v possible_a that_o papacy_n in_o a_o multitude_n may_v be_v as_o dangerous_a as_o in_o one_o 6._o as_o i_o be_o no_o judge_n over_o the_o reform_a church_n so_o neither_o do_v i_o censure_v they_o for_o many_o thing_n may_v be_v avowable_a upon_o necessity_n which_o otherways_o be_v unlawful_a but_o know_v once_o for_o all_o that_o i_o esteem_v nothing_o the_o better_a because_o it_o be_v do_v by_o such_o a_o particular_a church_n though_o it_o be_v by_o the_o church_n of_o england_n which_o i_o avow_v most_o to_o reverence_n but_o i_o esteem_v that_o church_n most_o which_o come_v near_a to_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o primitive_a doctrine_n and_o discipline_n as_o i_o believe_v this_o do_v now_o concern_v ordination_n i_o bid_v you_o prove_v that_o presbyter_n without_o a_o bishop_n may_v lawful_o ordain_v which_o yet_o i_o conceive_v you_o have_v not_o do_v for_o 2_o tim._n 1.6_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o saint_n paul_n
