brief_o subjoin_v my_o reason_n pos._n 1._o that_o monarchy_n can_v consist_v without_o episcopacy_n neg._n f●●_v monarchy_n be_v many_o 1000_o year_n before_o episcopacy_n and_o therefore_o demonstrable_o may_v be_v without_o it_o pos._n 2._o that_o the_o bishop_n of_o worcester_n be_v the_o sole_a and_o immediate_a pastor_n of_o all_o the_o congregation_n in_o his_o diocese_n neg._n for_o it_o be_v utter_o against_o scripture_n rule_n to_o extend_v the_o name_n of_o pastor_n beyond_o the_o flock_n which_o one_o actual_o feed_v pos._n 3._o that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o any_o though_o ordain_v to_o preach_v in_o the_o bishop_n of_o worcester_n '_o s_o diocese_n without_o his_o licence_n neg._n for_o ordination_n be_v a_o sufficient_a licence_n which_o run_v as_o the_o apostle_n commission_n do_v go_v preach_v the_o gospel_n without_o be_v confine_v to_o place_n or_o need_v a_o new_a licence_n pos._n 4._o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n to_o enjoin_v a_o small_a thing_n under_o a_o great_a penalty_n neg._n for_o we_o have_v no_o warrant_n for_o such_o a_o imposition_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o sole_a rule_n of_o all_o religious_a worship_n pos._n 5._o that_o the_o church_n have_v power_n to_o exact_a confession_n and_o recantation_n for_o those_o crime_n which_o the_o state_n have_v pardon_v neg._n for_o as_o to_o coercive_a power_n and_o jurisdiction_n there_o be_v no_o difference_n at_o all_o between_o the_o church_n and_o state_n pos._n 6._o that_o the_o presbyterian_o i_o suppose_v he_o mean_v not_o imposer_n of_o their_o own_o form_n but_o bare_o dissenter_n from_o those_o impose_v by_o other_o be_v all_o seditious_a neg._n for_o it_o be_v against_o their_o public_a confession_n of_o faith_n which_o as_o the_o 39_o article_n and_o church-canon_n be_v of_o the_o episcopal_a so_o that_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o test_n of_o the_o presbyterian_a persuasion_n thus_o sir_n you_o see_v i_o be_o willing_a to_o reduce_v this_o controversy_n unto_o a_o rational_a and_o calm_a way_n of_o debate_n and_o if_o the_o bishop_n or_o any_o sober_a person_n for_o he_o will_v undertake_v to_o maintain_v either_o all_o or_o any_o of_o the_o forementioned_a position_n i_o will_v either_o make_v good_a my_o negative_a or_o declare_v my_o conversion_n and_o because_o sir_n
