that_o country_n for_o a_o church_n can_v be_v a_o particular_a church_n by_o union_n to_o a_o vicar_n but_o by_o union_n to_o he_o who_o vicar_n he_o be_v my_o lord_n of_o chalcedon_n be_v not_o

the_o difficulty_n for_o m._n doctor_n propose_v as_o two_o reason_n or_o title_n the_o divine_a precept_n of_o have_v a_o bishop_n in_o every_o particular_a church_n and_o the_o necessity_n of_o have_v a_o bishop_n because_o without_o he_o we_o can_v be_v a_o particular_a church_n as_o may_v be_v see_v chap._n 14._o n._n 4._o 5._o 6._o 7._o and_o in_o other_o place_n now_o the_o replyer_n will_v make_v m._n doctor_n walk_v in_o a_o circle_n and_o prove_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o be_v a_o particular_a church_n because_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o have_v a_o bishop_n and_o we_o be_v

precise_o to_o be_v a_o particular_a church_n so_o that_o if_o a_o bishop_n be_v not_o necessary_a in_o other_o respect_n yet_o for_o this_o cause_n alone_o he_o can_v not_o be_v refuse_v this_o the_o

he_o tax_v the_o discussour_n as_o stretch_v m._n doctor_n word_n chap._n 14._o n._n 9_o further_o than_o he_o intend_v but_o those_o word_n which_o he_o seek_v to_o defend_v must_v either_o teach_v as_o far_o as_o the_o discussour_n extend_v they_o or_o else_o they_o will_v come_v short_a of_o prove_v m._n doctor_n purpose_n for_o if_o it_o be_v as_o necessary_a to_o have_v a_o particular_a bishop_n to_o make_v a_o particular_a church_n as_o to_o have_v a_o universal_a bishop_n for_o the_o make_v a_o universal_a church_n and_o that_o by_o the_o divine_a law_n every_o country_n of_o

his_o opinion_n be_v a_o particular_a church_n of_o extent_n as_o to_o have_v a_o pope_n of_o rome_n you_o will_v perhaps_o say_v that_o the_o

both_o aught_o to_o have_v by_o the_o divine_a law_n their_o proper_a bishop_n be_v he_o ordinary_a or_o delegate_n if_o do_v he_o begin_v to_o doubt_v whether_o they_o be_v both_o notable_a part_n of_o the_o church_n or_o church_n of_o extent_n or_o can_v he_o assign_v we_o a_o divine_a law_n for_o england_n not_o for_o scotland_n i_o see_v he_o may_v in_o time_n accord_v with_o nicholas_n

have_v some_o bishop_n in_o the_o church_n be_v of_o ordinary_n in_o a_o ordinary_a manner_n not_o of_o delegate_n and_o therefore_o if_o delegate_n suffice_v in_o england_n or_o scotland_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n the_o divine_a law_n do_v not_o oblige_v in_o those_o country_n and_o if_o by_o bishop_n delegate_n the_o divine_a law_n be_v fulfil_v it_o may_v be_v fulfil_v by_o priest_n delegate_n for_o as_o much_o as_o concern_v jurisdiction_n 20._o i_o will_v answer_v his_o n._n 37._o only_a by_o add_v what_o he_o leave_v out_o in_o cite_v the_o discussours_n word_n q._n 7._o n._n 15._o i_o

of_o m._n doctor_n argument_n draw_v from_o the_o african_a church_n be_v by_o the_o replyer_n answer_v with_o a_o gentle_a &_o implicit_a concession_n of_o all_o that_o the_o discussour_n have_v

hazard_v good_n liberty_n &_o life_n for_o enjoy_v confirmation_n whereas_o m._n doctor_n only_o speak_v of_o persecution_n in_o general_n but_o nicholas_n smith_n never_o impose_v upon_o m._n
