may_v be_v lawful_a but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o first_o god_n do_v so_o subject_a the_o jewish_a ecclesiastic_o to_o such_o a_o lay-authority_n and_o second_o suppose_v that_o god_n have_v so_o subject_v their_o ecclesiastic_o the_o next_o question_n be_v whether_o he_o have_v in_o like_a manner_n so_o subject_v the_o christian_a hierarchy_n for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o specific_a

to_o conceive_v that_o the_o jewish_a religion_n in_o what_o it_o be_v peculiarly_a jewish_a be_v only_o of_o a_o carnal_a sanctity_n in_o order_n only_o to_o temporal_a fruition_n and_o so_o may_v

action_n and_o success_n be_v essential_a to_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o pontificate_n and_o yet_o we_o find_v this_o highpriest_n not_o subject_a to_o any_o ordinary_a power_n till_o king_n be_v also_o give_v this_o people_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o nation_n among_o who_o the_o mitre_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o crown_n all_o which_o put_v together_o make_v abiathar_n be_v
