for_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v their_o only_a supreme_a rule_n be_v of_o itself_o subject_a to_o the_o several_a misinterpretation_n of_o every_o private_a spirit_n second_o it_o be_v one_o because_o all_o that_o be_v in_o it_o profess_v one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n and_o use_v the_o same_o sacrament_n three_o it_o be_v one_o in_o government_n because_o the_o member_n of_o it_o be_v

can_v be_v end_v where_o equality_n be_v on_o both_o side_n a_o thing_n that_o may_v easy_o fall_v out_o if_o there_o be_v not_o one_o supreme_a head_n over_o all_o as_o we_o see_v by_o daily_a

the_o head_n of_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n or_o with_o any_o member_n of_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n 7._o why_o do_v you_o call_v it_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n we_o do_v not_o call_v it_o roman_a as_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o catholic_a church_n beside_o the_o roman_a catholic_a neither_o do_v we_o call_v it_o so_o as_o if_o the_o particular_a church_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o whole_a catholic_a church_n for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o particular_a diocese_n it_o be_v only_o one_o part_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n but_o we_o call_v it_o so_o because_o all_o the_o catholic_n of_o the_o world_n be_v unite_v in_o the_o bishop_n of_o that_o particular_a church_n as_o in_o their_o general_a pastor_n and_o so_o the_o word_n roman_n be_v not_o limit_v to_o the_o particular_a territory_n of_o rome_n but_o it_o do_v signify_v a_o property_n belong_v to_o the_o whole_a church_n to_o wit_n that_o relation_n which_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o every_o member_n of_o it_o acknowledge_v towards_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n as_o to_o their_o head_n appoint_v by_o christ_n to_o govern_v his_o whole_a flock_n and_o therefore_o the_o word_n roman_n take_v in_o this_o sense_n be_v of_o no_o less_o extent_n than_o the_o church_n itself_o so_o that_o he_o who_o be_v not_o a_o roman_a catholic_a be_v no_o catholic_a at_o all_o 8._o be_v it_o sufficient_a to_o make_v one_o a_o catholic_a in_o point_n of_o faith_n that_o he_o b●…eve_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o the_o catholic_a church_n believe_v no_o unless_o the_o catholic_a church_n be_v also_o the_o ground_n of_o his_o belief_n for_o whosoever_o do_v believe_v any_o point_n upon_o no_o other_o ground_n but_o only_o because_o it_o seem_v to_o his_o private_a judgement_n to_o be_v contain_v in_o scripture_n or_o to_o be_v in_o itself_o true_a yea_o though_o he_o shall_v believe_v in_o this_o manner_n every_o thing_n that_o the_o church_n believe_v yet_o he_o will_v not_o be_v a_o catholic_a and_o so_o may_v be_v damn_v for_o want_v of_o faith_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v because_o see_v that_o faith_n be_v to_o believe_v a_o thing_n because_o god_n reveal_v it_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o infallible_a way_n without_o a_o miracle_n whereby_o god_n his_o revelation_n come_v to_o we_o but_o only_o by_o the_o church_n proposition_n it_o follow_v that_o we_o can_v believe_v any_o thing_n certain_o upon_o the_o motive_n of_o god_n his_o revelation_n unless_o our_o belief_n be_v likewise_o ground_v upon_o the_o church_n proposition_n wherefore_o the_o faith_n of_o a_o catholic_a must_v consist_v in_o submit_v his_o understanding_n and_o adhere_v to_o the_o church_n and_o in_o believe_v every_o thing_n because_o she_o propose_v it_o for_o all_o other_o persuasion_n of_o our_o own_o discourse_n be_v resolve_v at_o last_o into_o our_o particular_a judgement_n or_o else_o into_o the_o judgement_n of_o other_o particular_a man_n and_o so_o can_v breed_v in_o we_o catholic_a and_o divine_a faith_n but_o only_a opinion_n or_o human_a belief_n 9_o what_o sign_n be_v there_o whereby_o to_o know_v whether_o one_o belief_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o catholic_a church_n proposition_n or_o no_o the_o best_a sign_n be_v when_o you_o do_v without_o difficulty_n assent_v to_o any_o thing_n as_o soon_o as_o you_o know_v that_o it_o be_v propose_v by_o the_o catholic_a church_n for_o if_o you_o have_v the_o least_o doubt_n of_o any_o thing_n which_o you_o know_v to_o be_v propose_v by_o the_o church_n it_o be_v a_o infallible_a sign_n that_o your_o belief_n in_o all_o the_o rest_n rely_v upon_o some_o other_o ground_n which_o sway_n more_o with_o you_o than_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n or_o else_o that_o you_o have_v no_o firm_a belief_n at_o all_o but_o only_o a_o opinion_n or_o conjecture_n ground_v upon_o your_o own_o discourse_n 10._o who_o be_v a_o good_a

immediate_o about_o the_o holy_a eucharist_n and_o about_o the_o priest_n person_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o mass_n and_o so_o the_o deacon_n who_o be_v next_o to_o the_o priest_n have_v also_o annex_v to_o their_o office_n to_o assist_v the_o priest_n in_o his_o function_n and_o consequent_o by_o commission_n from_o he_o or_o from_o the_o bishop_n to_o administer_v some_o sacrament_n and_o also_o to_o catechise_v these_o two_o degree_n of_o minister_n be_v also_o call_v holy_a because_o for_o their_o great_a purity_n they_o be_v oblige_v to_o observe_v perpetual_a chastity_n and_o to_o say_v the_o canonical_a office_n the_o other_o four_o degree_n be_v call_v lesser_a because_o they_o be_v employ_v in_o function_n and_o rite_n which_o be_v more_o remote_a and_o not_o immediate_o about_o the_o holy_a eucharist_n or_o the_o priest_n person_n at_o the_o altar_n 8._o how_o many_o several_a order_n be_v there_o in_o all_o they_o be_v common_o reckon_v to_o be_v seven_o to_o wit_n the_o order_n of_o potter_n lector_fw-la exorcist_n acolite_a subdeacon_n deacon_n and_o priest_n 9_o why_o be_v not_o bishop_n reckon_v among_o the_o rest_n if_o you_o reckon_v episcopacy_n and_o add_v it_o to_o the_o rest_n than_o indeed_o they_o be_v in_o all_o eight_o order_n but_o common_o it_o be_v not_o name_v with_o the_o rest_n for_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o it_o be_v a_o eminent_a degree_n which_o surpass_v they_o all_o as_o be_v the_o source_n from_o whence_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v derive_v for_o they_o all_o proceed_v from_o it_o and_o end_n in_o it_o and_o so_o as_o in_o a_o kingdom_n the_o king_n be_v not_o reckon_v in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o officer_n that_o govern_v under_o he_o because_o his_o power_n be_v transcendent_a and_o run_v through_o all_o the_o magistrate_n of_o the_o kingdom_n no_o more_o be_v the_o bishop_n reckon_v ordinary_o in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o other_o order_n for_o he_o be_v in_o his_o church_n as_o the_o king_n in_o his_o kingdom_n the_o prince_n and_o head_n of_o all_o ecclesiastical_a hierarchy_n or_o holy_a principality_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o if_o we_o take_v priesthood_n in_o its_o full_a latitude_n episcopacy_n be_v also_o include_v in_o it_o for_o the_o name_n and_o office_n of_o priesthood_n do_v signify_v two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v ordinary_a authority_n or_o jurisdiction_n to_o govern_v man_n in_o order_n to_o salvation_n and_o to_o god_n his_o service_n the_o second_o be_v power_n to_o offer_v sacrifice_n to_o god_n which_o two_o function_n be_v express_v by_o two_o word_n or_o name_n appropriate_v common_o to_o priest_n to_o wit_n presbyter_n and_o sacerdos_n for_o presbyter_n and_o presbyterium_fw-la which_o be_v a_o greek_a word_n do_v import_v a_o superiority_n and_o power_n of_o govern_v as_o senior_n and_o senatus_n do_v in_o latin_a sacerdos_n and_o sacerdotium_fw-la have_v relation_n to_o sacrifice_n and_o they_o come_v from_o sacer_n or_o sacrare_fw-la which_o be_v to_o make_v holy_a and_o so_o they_o import_v power_n to_o offer_v up_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v a_o holy_a and_o sacred_a function_n now_o then_o from-hence_a it_o follow_v that_o the_o order_n of_o priesthood_n be_v twofold_a the_o one_o be_v only_o of_o inferior_a priest_n who_o be_v those_o who_o we_o common_o call_v priest_n to_o who_o it_o belong_v to_o sacrifice_n but_o not_o to_o govern_v in_o chief_a the_o other_o of_o superior_a and_o chief_a priest_n who_o be_v only_a bishop_n to_o who_o it_o belong_v not_o only_o to_o sacrifice_n but_o also_o to_o govern_v in_o chief_a wherefore_o see_v that_o priesthood_n do_v signify_v these_o two_o function_n and_o that_o the_o first_o which_o be_v to_o govern_v in_o chief_a by_o ordinary_a authority_n confer_v upon_o man_n by_o christ_n himself_o be_v the_o more_o principal_a absolute_o speak_v though_o in_o some_o respect_n the_o other_o may_v be_v prefer_v as_o be_v that_o by_o which_o the_o second_o be_v direct_v and_o order_v and_o belong_v only_o to_o episcopacy_n it_o follow_v that_o episcopacy_n be_v include_v under_o the_o name_n of_o priesthood_n 10._o be_v the_o sacrament_n of_o order_n necessary_a we_o have_v say_v above_o that_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a for_o the_o whole_a church_n beside_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a that_o undertake_v the_o administration_n of_o sacrament_n and_o also_o regular_o speak_v those_o who_o undergo_v the_o office_n of_o spiritual_a government_n and_o preach_v aught_o to_o receive_v order_n first_o unless_o it_o be_v in_o such_o case_n in_o which_o the_o church_n or_o the_o pope_n do_v upon_o some_o occasion_n grant_v jurisdiction_n to_o some_o person_n without_o order_n by_o commission_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o sea_n apostolic_a and_o here_o you_o must_v note_v that_o the_o give_v of_o order_n and_o jurisdiction_n be_v that_o thing_n which_o be_v common_o call_v mission_n which_o be_v a_o power_n to_o preach_v that_o doctrine_n which_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o catholic_a church_n as_o also_o to_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o in_o the_o same_o sense_n as_o that_o church_n intend_v and_o practise_v so_o that_o whosoever_o teach_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o true_a church_n fromwhence_o all_o spiritual_a power_n be_v derive_v do_v put_v himself_o upon_o a_o function_n which_o he_o have_v no_o authority_n to_o do_v for_o want_v of_o mission_n from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o luther_n caluin_n and_o all_o founder_n of_o heretical_a sect_n as_o also_o all_o their_o adherent_n and_o successor_n do_v want_n mission_n and_o do_v not_o enter_v in_o by_o the_o gate_n but_o do_v break_v in_o by_o stealth_n in_o presume_v to_o advance_v their_o own_o invention_n instead_o of_o preach_v that_o doctrine_n which_o preacher_n be_v warrant_v to_o by_o mission_n 11._o what_o sacrament_n be_v next_o after_o
