in_o call_v such_o person_n to_o be_v ordain_v by_o a_o bishop_n they_o do_v not_o call_v they_o to_o reordination_n but_o to_o ordination_n their_o former_a ordination_n be_v not_o only_o irregular_a and_o non-canonical_a but_o also_o null_a and_o have_v they_o not_o flee_v to_o this_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n have_v be_v bring_v to_o repeat_v the_o ordination_n that_o during_o the_o distraction_n be_v make_v by_o bishop_n they_o be_v not_o do_v without_o manifold_a irregularity_n as_o to_o time_n or_o place_n or_o some_o other_o such_o circumstance_n i_o prove_v three_o that_o he_o who_o be_v ordain_v with_o a_o valid_a ordination_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v again_o reordain_v because_o by_o submit_v to_o such_o reordination_n he_o do_v take_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a you_o be_v not_o of_o the_o number_n of_o those_o who_o deny_v ordination_n to_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n if_o you_o be_v i_o must_v turn_v you_o over_o to_o d._n seaman_n m._n lyford_n

of_o god_n law_n enter_v the_o ministry_n without_o it_o you_o will_v rather_o say_v that_o by_o be_v reordain_v a_o man_n do_v not_o contract_v the_o guilt_n of_o take_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a but_o if_o that_o be_v your_o answer_n i_o thus_o assault_v you_o to_o take_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n either_o for_o no_o end_n or_o for_o no_o such_o end_n as_o god_n have_v appoint_v it_o unto_o be_v to_o take_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a but_o to_o be_v reordain_v after_o precede_v valid_a ordination_n be_v to_o take_v a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n either_o to_o no_o

be_v usual_o give_v of_o ordination_n they_o be_v to_o this_o purpose_n ordination_n be_v a_o act_n whereby_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n meet_v person_n be_v separate_v and_o set_v apart_o to_o the_o work_n and_o office_n of_o the_o ministry_n now_o i_o ask_v when_o you_o be_v ordain_v be_v you_o thus_o separate_v and_o set_v apart_o or_o not_o if_o you_o be_v not_o than_o you_o be_v not_o ordain_v if_o you_o be_v what_o use_n serve_v your_o reordination_n unto_o perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v by_o that_o mean_v you_o shall_v procure_v institution_n from_o the_o bishop_n and_o be_v the_o

through_o the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o time_n some_o episcopal_o ordain_v be_v constrain_v to_o have_v their_o residence_n either_o in_o the_o gallican_n or_o belgic_a church_n where_o there_o be_v no_o ordination_n but_o by_o presbyter_n will_v these_o divine_n have_v be_v content_a to_o be_v reordain_v after_o the_o mode_n of_o those_o church_n before_o they_o have_v be_v permit_v to_o receive_v the_o double_a honour_n due_a to_o they_o as_o minister_n if_o they_o will_v not_o as_o i_o presume_v they_o will_v not_o why_o do_v they_o require_v that_o from_o other_o which_o they_o will_v not_o have_v be_v content_a other_o shall_v have_v require_v of_o they_o if_o you_o shall_v plead_v on_o their_o behalf_n that_o their_o ordination_n be_v valid_a so_o be_v not_o ordination_n by_o presbyter_n that_o i_o shall_v prove_v to_o be_v false_a and_o popish_a by_o and_o by_o if_o second_o you_o shall_v allege_v that_o our_o prelatist_n will_v not_o require_v reordination_n from_o divine_n ordain_v beyond_o the_o sea_n because_o they_o be_v not_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o receive_v ordination_n from_o a_o bishop_n but_o so_o be_v we_o that_o live_v in_o england_n and_o therefore_o deserve_v to_o be_v look_v upon_o and_o deal_v with_o as_o laic_n till_o we_o have_v repent_v of_o our_o schism_n and_o heresy_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o better_a way_n to_o manifest_v our_o repentance_n then_o by_o humble_v ourselves_o and_o receive_v order_n from_o they_o unto_o this_o allegation_n i_o have_v two_o thing_n to_o say_v 1._o suppose_v but_o not_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v schism_n for_o our_o young_a divine_n to_o take_v order_n from_o presbyter_n when_o as_o with_o some_o little_a cost_n and_o trouble_v they_o may_v have_v receive_v they_o from_o some_o bishop_n i_o say_v that_o man_n being_n schismatic_n do_v not_o invalidate_n or_o make_v null_a either_o the_o order_n which_o they_o give_v or_o receive_v nor_o have_v the_o church_n of_o god_n ever_o be_v wont_a to_o punish_v schism_n by_o compel_v the_o schismatic_a to_o receive_v new_a order_n for_o this_o you_o may_v please_v to_o read_v gisber_n voetius_fw-la desper_n causa_fw-la papat_fw-la lib._n 2._o sec_fw-la 2._o cap._n 13_o 14._o nay_o nor_o do_v our_o episcoparian_o call_v such_o as_o be_v ordain_v by_o episcopal_a hand_n to_o reordination_n though_o sundry_a of_o they_o have_v fall_v off_o from_o their_o government_n and_o join_v in_o with_o presbyterian_o which_o yet_o they_o must_v have_v do_v if_o schism_n do_v evacuate_v and_o annihilate_v their_o order_n if_o by_o be_v ordain_v by_o presbyter_n we_o fall_v into_o schism_n repentance_n and_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n must_v take_v off_o the_o guilt_n of_o that_o sin_n not_o reordination_n and_o pay_v fee_n to_o the_o bishop_n or_o his_o officer_n but_o second_o i_o be_o still_o so_o blind_a as_o not_o to_o see_v that_o it_o be_v any_o schism_n to_o be_v ordain_v by_o presbyter_n for_o all_o schism_n be_v sin_n and_o all_o sin_n be_v a_o transgression_n of_o some_o good_a and_o righteous_a law_n but_o there_o be_v no_o transgression_n of_o any_o good_a righteous_a law_n in_o receive_v order_n from_o presbyter_n for_o if_o so_o then_o either_o of_o a_o divine_a or_o humane_a law_n not_o of_o a_o divine_a for_o there_o be_v not_o a_o law_n of_o god_n require_v we_o not_o to_o be_v ordain_v by_o any_o but_o a_o bishop_n not_o of_o humane_a law_n for_o 1._o i_o can_v find_v any_o law_n of_o the_o nation_n enact_v that_o all_o ordination_n shall_v be_v make_v by_o a_o bishop_n and_o his_o presbyter_n and_o no_o otherways_o 2._o if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o such_o law_n it_o may_v be_v question_v whether_o it_o can_v oblige_v the_o conscience_n in_o such_o time_n of_o confusion_n as_o we_o be_v fall_v into_o 3._o if_o a_o man_n have_v be_v ordain_v by_o a_o bishop_n in_o those_o day_n he_o can_v not_o have_v get_v any_o ordination_n every_o way_n argeeable_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n our_o bishop_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o canon_n of_o 1603._o be_v law_n if_o they_o be_v so_o they_o themselves_o during_o the_o late_a distraction_n do_v transgress_v they_o with_o a_o witness_n what_o if_o i_o shall_v further_o add_v that_o see_v our_o bishop_n have_v clog_v ordination_n with_o subscription_n to_o thing_n unnecessary_a disputable_a to_o our_o apprehension_n sinful_a they_o be_v the_o schismatic_n who_o enjoin_v such_o subscription_n not_o we_o who_o refuse_v they_o several_a weighty_a argument_n to_o prove_v this_o may_v be_v transcribe_v out_o of_o mr._n hale_v his_o tract_n of_o schism_n a_o discourse_n so_o solid_a and_o yet_o become_v so_o scarce_o that_o if_o in_o stead_n of_o be_v reordained_n yourself_o you_o will_v get_v that_o
