to_o perform_v all_o the_o office_n of_o it_o without_o express_o give_v the_o title_n but_o our_o ordinal_n do_v not_o express_v the_o whole_a power_n give_v either_o by_o name_n or_o equivalency_n for_o it_o do_v not_o give_v power_n to_o consecrate_v the_o eucharist_n though_o it_o do_v to_o be_v dispenser_n and_o faithful_a minister_n of_o it_o which_o amount_v to_o no_o more_o than_o

priest_n from_o those_o word_n only_o by_o which_o he_o give_v they_o power_n to_o remit_v sin_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o our_o church_n have_v think_v any_o sufficient_o empower_v to_o

that_o which_o they_o have_v power_n for_o to_o do_v be_v more_o like_a to_o a_o cruel_a tyrant_n than_o a_o most_o merciful_a and_o compassionate_a master_n to_o your_o three_o and_o last_o i_o say_v that_o the_o romanist_n make_v alteration_n in_o their_o ordinal_n signify_v nothing_o unless_o you_o can_v show_v i_o where_o they_o have_v do_v it_o in_o such_o a_o essential_a part_n of_o it_o as_o we_o have_v although_o they_o have_v add_v that_o to_o they_o of_o offer_v sacrifice_n for_o the_o live_n and_o the_o dead_a yet_o in_o regard_n they_o do_v before_o in_o their_o ordinal_n express_o

as_o now_o but_o say_v be_v thou_o a_o priest_n i_o grant_v it_o have_v be_v sufficient_a for_o all_o the_o office_n of_o it_o although_o none_o of_o they_o have_v be_v particular_o express_v in_o

long_o as_o they_o give_v they_o all_o priestly_a power_n unless_o you_o can_v prove_v any_o of_o their_o ordinal_n do_v not_o express_o give_v they_o priesthood_n the_o exception_n out_o of_o he_o of_o not_o give_v power_n to_o consecrate_v be_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o the_o true_a state_n of_o the_o question_n between_o we_o sir_n as_o to_o what_o you_o say_v from_o vasquez_n relate_v only_o

not_o actual_o confer_v that_o authority_n upon_o they_o and_o the_o prayer_n after_o be_v only_o for_o a_o blessing_n upon_o the_o ordain_v which_o also_o do_v neither_o confer_v any_o authority_n

for_o some_o part_n of_o the_o priesthood_n but_o not_o for_o all_o the_o office_n of_o it_o to_o that_o which_o you_o say_v that_o the_o word_n of_o our_o ordinal_n give_v power_n to_o administer_v

as_o you_o say_v that_o our_o ordinal_n give_v power_n only_o to_o dispense_v the_o sacrament_n and_o not_o to_o consecrate_v to_o which_o you_o answer_v that_o by_o the_o word_n dispense_v the_o church_n mean_v the_o whole_a that_o belong_v both_o to_o the_o consecration_n and_o administration_n of_o they_o that_o use_v they_o there_o be_v no_o papist_n i_o believe_v but_o will_v grant_v that_o the_o church_n mean_v and_o intend_v it_o but_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o church_n can_v never_o vest_n any_o thing_n with_o priestly_a authority_n without_o it_o be_v actual_o and_o express_o confer_v upon_o they_o by_o her._n for_o if_o a_o king_n intention_n be_v never_o so_o great_a to_o make_v a_o justice_n of_o peace_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o thereby_o at_o all_o invest_v with_o that_o authority_n you_o deny_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n think_v any_o part_n of_o priesthood_n confer_v upon_o any_o by_o virtue_n of_o these_o word_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o then_o i_o say_v if_o no_o power_n or_o authority_n be_v thereby_o give_v by_o virtue_n of_o these_o word_n how_o can_v she_o give_v any_o by_o bid_v they_o dispense_v the_o sacrament_n for_o to_o consecrate_v they_o and_o why_o then_o so_o many_o argument_n use_v about_o the_o extension_n and_o limitation_n of_o those_o word_n of_o our_o church_n and_o then_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o how_o shall_v our_o church_n be_v acquit_v from_o idle_a tautology_n which_o i_o do_v not_o charge_v she_o with_o as_o you_o be_v please_v to_o tell_v i_o i_o do_v but_o under_o such_o supposition_n and_o circumstance_n which_o i_o take_v that_o she_o do_v disow_v you_o further_o tell_v i_o that_o i_o allow_v our_o form_n of_o episcopal_a ordination_n sufficient_o perfect_a

have_v no_o new_a character_n i_o say_v it_o only_o in_o the_o person_n of_o vasquez_n to_o answer_v the_o objection_n which_o you_o make_v out_o of_o he_o for_o the_o same_o vasquez_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o do_v say_v that_o by_o the_o alone_a word_n receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n etc._n etc._n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o make_v a_o entire_a priest_n although_o they_o be_v for_o a_o bishop_n from_o whence_o i_o infer_v that_o in_o vasquez'_v judgement_n a_o bishop_n receive_v no_o new_a character_n but_o myself_o be_v ever_o of_o opinion_n that_o they_o do_v as_o to_o bishop_n ridley_n i_o be_o full_o satisfy_v that_o they_o refuse_v to_o degrade_v he_o as_o not_o be_v make_v bishop_n by_o the_o roman_a ordinal_n and_o you_o may_v find_v by_o the_o statute_n in_o the_o first_o year_n of_o king_n edward_n that_o then_o they_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o administer_v sacrament_n in_o new_a way_n of_o their_o own_o invention_n for_o which_o a_o act_n that_o year_n be_v make_v
