ecclesiae_fw-la fundatae_fw-la to_o the_o church_n be_v found_v and_o so_o necessary_a that_o nothing_o more_o concern_v the_o church_n will_v he_o not_o or_o can_v he_o not_o inform_v his_o trustee_n

not_o to_o his_o almighty_a sovereign_a power_n i_o therefore_o conclude_v these_o point_n first_o that_o ordination_n of_o presbyter_n be_v leave_v to_o timothy_n and_o titus_n as_o to_z man_n of_o

put_v a_o difference_n of_o superiority_n betwixt_o a_o bishop_n and_o a_o ordinary_a presbyter_n and_o other_o the_o teacher_n of_o the_o church_n and_o give_v they_o commission_n prae_fw-la

episcopacy_n be_v not_o jure_fw-la divino_fw-la because_o christ_n do_v not_o command_v it_o in_o the_o gospel_n answ_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o jus_o divinum_fw-la aliter_fw-la in_o se_fw-la

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 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 i_o thus_o argue_v if_o st._n paul_n himself_o practise_v 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_n 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_a practice_n episcopacy_n but_o do_v also_o constitute_v they_o bishop_n but_o verum_fw-la prius_fw-la ergo_fw-la &_o posterius_fw-la that_o he_o have_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d

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 and_o punish_v object_n if_o they_o object_v that_o presbyter_n with_o a_o precedent_n may_v do_v the_o same_o even_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v command_v timothy_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 charge_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 precedent_n they_o must_v plead_v they_o due_a to_o
