in_o question_n i_o hope_v that_o none_o will_v deny_v it_o to_o be_v iure_fw-la divino_fw-la now_o for_o proof_n and_o confirmation_n of_o my_o tenent_n that_o episcopacy_n be_v iure_fw-la divino_fw-la i_o will_v prove_v these_o point_n and_o then_o say_v something_o more_o concerning_o the_o practice_n of_o some_o other_o church_n 1_o saint_n paul_n the_o apostle_n and_o doctor_n of_o the_o gentile_n point_n give_v power_n and_o authority_n to_o titus_n and_o timothy_n ordinare_fw-la dignos_fw-la to_o ordain_v man_n worthy_a and_o to_o examine_v such_o as_o be_v faulty_a to_o

honour_n of_o their_o calling_n and_o to_o cherish_v such_o as_o do_v well_o these_o thing_n be_v evident_a in_o the_o epistle_n of_o paul_n to_o timothy_n and_o of_o that_o to_o titus_n from_o paul_n practice_n of_o superiority_n over_o these_o two_o and_o from_o the_o institution_n of_o timothy_n and_o titus_n to_o be_v bishop_n the_o one_o of_o ephesus_n the_o other_o at_o crete_n i_o prove_v episcopacy_n to_o be_v practise_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o make_v which_o good_a thus_o i_o argue_v if_o saint_n paul_n himself_o practise_v a_o eminent_a superiority_n and_o in_o the_o epistle_n allege_v give_v all_o that_o power_n which_o of_o right_a bishop_n challenge_v or_o do_v belong_v to_o the_o definition_n of_o a_o bishop_n to_o timothy_n and_o titus_n than_o paul_n himself_o do_v not_o only_o practise_v episcopacy_n but_o do_v also_o constitute_v and_o institute_v they_o bishop_n but_o verum_fw-la prius_fw-la ergo_fw-la et_fw-la posterius_fw-la that_o he_o have_v {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o a_o bishopric_n as_o the_o other_o apostle_n have_v act._n 1._o 20._o and_o do_v diligent_o run_v his_o course_n therein_o no_o man_n will_v

honore_fw-la with_o double_a honour_n the_o epistle_n allege_v do_v sufficient_o prove_v therefore_o paul_n himself_o practise_v superiority_n and_o constitute_v timothy_n and_o titus_n bishop_n in_o place_n superior_a to_o presbyter_n who_o they_o have_v authority_n to_o ordain_v convent_n punish_v and_o reward_n if_o they_o further_o object_n that_o the_o presbyter_n with_o object_n their_o president_n may_v do_v the_o same_o even_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v command_v timothy_n and_o titus_n and_o therefore_o these_o thing_n be_v speak_v to_o timothy_n and_o titus_n and_o to_o their_o presbyter_n collective_o in_o the_o person_n of_o timothy_n and_o titus_n i_o answer_v this_o be_v petere_fw-la principium_fw-la this_o evasion_n i_o answ._n former_o take_v away_o and_o now_o further_o i_o argue_v such_o as_o the_o charge_n be_v such_o be_v the_o power_n but_o the_o tharge_n be_v personal_a that_o be_v give_v to_o timothy_n and_o titus_n particular_o and_o therefore_o the_o power_n and_o authority_n give_v be_v personal_a to_o they_o for_o their_o time_n and_o to_o their_o successor_n in_o place_n after_o they_o and_o not_o to_o they_o and_o the_o presbytery_n collective_o nothing_o in_o place_n where_o such_o charge_n be_v give_v do_v intimate_v the_o presbyter_n or_o deacon_n interpose_v themselves_o in_o these_o episcopal_a action_n with_o timothy_n and_o titus_n if_o they_o will_v have_v these_o privilege_n and_o performance_n to_o belong_v to_o their_o president_n they_o must_v plead_v they_o due_a to_o he_o as_o he_o be_v successor_n to_o timothy_n and_o titus_n and_o so_o he_o be_v in_o effect_n if_o you_o give_v he_o continuance_n in_o his_o place_n a_o bishop_n indeed_o the_o bare_a name_n of_o precedent_n can_v make_v he_o

of_o episcopacy_n because_o the_o contrary_a part_n have_v not_o the_o like_a proof_n warrant_v and_o approbation_n for_o their_o presbytery_n and_o can_v bring_v no_o sufficient_a and_o convince_a authority_n for_o a_o quarterly_a or_o yearly_a precedent_n joint_a presbyter_n and_o lay_v elder_n usurp_v pastoral_a and_o episcopal_a jurisdiction_n and_o here_o in_o confidence_n of_o my_o cause_n i_o add_v that_o if_o they_o have_v any_o lawful_a general_a council_n or_o any_o synod_n except_o their_o own_o which_o establish_v a_o church_n government_n by_o such_o a_o precedent_n presbyter_n and_o lay-elder_n as_o above_o i_o will_v yield_v the_o cause_n now_o it_o concern_v we_o very_o much_o to_o be_v well_o advise_v and_o true_o to_o judge_v of_o these_o matter_n because_o it_o appear_v in_o that_o dangerous_a and_o seditious_a pamphlet_n concerning_o the_o late_a protestation_n that_o the_o author_n thereof_o and_o such_o as_o he_o be_v care_v not_o what_o government_n be_v
