church_n and_o ancient_a council_n there_o be_v no_o succession_n of_o true_a pastor_n but_o among_o protestant_n the_o say_v due_a form_n and_o right_a intention_n be_v not_o observe_v ergo_fw-la

but_o not_o effect_v whereabout_o i_o remember_v the_o controversy_n you_o have_v with_o one_o there_o be_v but_o one_o bishop_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v such_o a_o matter_n and_o although_o i_o know_v and_o have_v see_v the_o record_n themselves_o that_o afterward_o there_o be_v a_o consecration_n of_o dr._n parker_n at_o lambeth_n and_o three_o bishop_n name_v viz._n miles_n coverdal_n of_o exeter_n one_o hodgeskin_n suffragan_n of_o bedford_n and_o another_o who_o name_n i_o have_v forget_v yet_o it_o be_v very_o doubtful_a that_o coverdal_n be_v make_v bishop_n of_o exeter_n in_o

want_v the_o matter_n and_o form_n with_o which_o according_a to_o the_o council_n and_o canon_n of_o the_o church_n holy_a order_n shall_v be_v give_v namely_o for_o the_o matter_n priesthood_n be_v give_v by_o the_o delivery_n of_o the_o patena_fw-la with_o bread_n and_o of_o the_o chalice_n with_o wine_n deaconship_n by_o the_o delivery_n of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o subdeaconship_n by_o the_o delivery_n of_o the_o patena_fw-la alone_o and_o of_o the_o chalice_n empty_a and_o in_o the_o substantial_a form_n of_o priesthood_n you_o do_v fail_v most_o of_o all_o
