only_o be_v this_o agreeable_a to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n see_v john_n 21._o where_o christ_n say_v to_o he_o as_o my_o father_n have_v send_v i_o even_o so_o send_v i_o you_o and_o say_v paul_n

and_o because_o paul_n write_v to_o titus_n to_o ordain_v elder_n and_o the_o presbyter_n lay_v on_o their_o hand_n and_o paul_n advise_v timothy_n to_o commit_v to_o faithful_a man_n the_o thing_n

so_o qualify_v as_o to_o make_v and_o ordain_v minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o if_o we_o have_v none_o of_o god_n make_v nor_o god_n and_o christ_n ordain_v i_o fear_v they_o will_v be_v such_o that_o will_v run_v when_o god_n never_o send_v they_o and_o that_o will_v say_v thus_o say_v the_o lord_n when_o the_o lord_n never_o speak_v by_o they_o and_o will_v not_o profit_v the_o people_n at_o all_o what_o he_o return_v on_o i_o for_o assert_v the_o true_a minister_n be_v ordain_v by_o god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n i_o retort_v on_o he_o that_o we_o have_v nothing_o but_o his_o bare_a word_n for_o proof_n i_o do_v in_o my_o last_o with_o respect_n to_o ordination_n advise_v he_o not_o to_o prevaricate_v nor_o evade_v but_o tell_v what_o church_n of_o england_n it_o be_v from_o

church_n of_o england_n before_o rome_n depart_v from_o the_o faith_n upon_o which_o i_o ask_v he_o whether_o it_o be_v a_o protestant_a church_n of_o england_n or_o a_o popish_a that_o they_o have_v ordination_n in_o before_o rome_n depart_v from_o the_o faith_n on_o which_o i_o advise_v he_o not_o to_o prevaricate_v nor_o evade_v but_o tell_v what_o church_n of_o england_n it_o be_v and_o now_o he_o say_v the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v in_o this_o island_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n of_o cristianity_n and_o that_o there_o be_v seven_o bishop_n among_o the_o britain_n at_o the_o time_n of_o
