evangell_n and_o a_o furtherance_n to_o the_o antichristian_a course_n yet_o if_o so_o shall_v be_v the_o comfort_n of_o faithful_a preacher_n be_v that_o no_o creature_n be_v able_a to_o take_v a_o

they_o be_v not_o lever_n of_o their_o call_n but_o your_o bishop_n be_v reaver_n of_o their_o call_n from_o they_o they_o be_v not_o forsaker_n of_o their_o flock_n but_o your_o bishop_n be_v

nay_o but_o they_o shall_v not_o suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v deprive_v of_o their_o ministry_n and_o loose_v the_o exercise_n thereof_o for_o matter_n of_o this_o indifferent_a nature_n theoph._n you_o must_v confess_v then_o cos._n that_o far_o less_o shall_v your_o bishop_n who_o word_n these_o be_v deprive_v they_o from_o their_o ministry_n for_o matter_n of_o that_o indifferent_a nature_n
