we_o may_v as_o well_o say_v this_o as_o deny_v the_o other_o why_o then_o may_v not_o we_o also_o say_v if_o epiphan_n and_o austin_n condemn_v his_o assert_v the_o parity_n of_o minister_n for_o

in_o you_o lie_v you_o will_v avoid_v all_o disputation_n of_o this_o nature_n which_o i_o have_v but_o rare_o observe_v to_o have_v any_o good_a success_n 2._o if_o you_o can_v avoid_v disputation_n then_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a confine_v your_o dispute_n to_o scripture_n time_n put_v he_o that_o contend_v for_o episcopacy_n as_o earnest_o as_o if_o the_o very_o be_v of_o the_o church_n do_v depend_v upon_o it_o to_o prove_v the_o divine_a institution_n of_o it_o and_o assure_v yourself_o that_o which_o can_v be_v prove_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o the_o be_v of_o the_o church_n 3._o if_o you_o must_v needs_o enter_v into_o the_o list_n about_o the_o antiquity_n of_o your_o opinion_n than_o my_o counsel_n be_v 1._o do_v not_o take_v every_o thing_n to_o be_v the_o say_n of_o a_o father_n which_o be_v quote_v as_o such_o but_o forbear_v answer_v till_o you_o have_v time_n to_o examine_v whether_o that_o be_v indeed_o in_o the_o father_n which_o be_v bring_v out_o of_o they_o for_o nothing_o be_v more_o common_a than_o for_o man_n in_o the_o heat_n of_o disputation_n to_o lay_v the_o brat_n of_o their_o own_o brain_n at_o the_o father_n door_n 2._o if_o you_o find_v that_o which_o be_v produce_v out_o of_o any_o father_n to_o be_v indeed_o in_o he_o then_o inquire_v whether_o it_o be_v the_o intent_n of_o the_o father_n to_o deliver_v his_o mind_n in_o that_o place_n concern_v that_o matter_n for_o which_o his_o authority_n be_v urge_v for_o if_o we_o will_v gather_v the_o opinion_n of_o father_n from_o passage_n let_v fall_v on_o the_o by_o we_o may_v easy_o make_v one_o father_n contradict_v another_o yea_o every_o father_n contradict_v himself_o 3._o you_o must_v also_o inquire_v whether_o what_o a_o father_n deliver_v be_v deliver_v by_o he_o as_o his_o own_o private_a opinion_n or_o as_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o church_n and_o if_o as_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o church_n whether_o only_o as_o the_o opinion_n of_o that_o part_n of_o the_o church_n in_o which_o he_o live_v or_o of_o the_o universal_a church_n if_o it_o be_v but_o his_o own_o private_a opinion_n and_o judgement_n you_o can_v think_v yourself_o oblige_v to_o believe_v it_o except_o confirm_v by_o strength_n of_o reason_n and_o evidence_n of_o scripture_n if_o it_o be_v deliver_v as_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o whole_a church_n more_o
