allege_v they_o to_o asperse_v and_o render_v that_o authority_n odious_a it_o be_v to_o little_a purpose_n to_o mention_v they_o in_o this_o discourse_n since_o they_o be_v not_o point_n of_o

will_v never_o have_v abolish_v episcopal_a government_n which_o we_o find_v establish_v by_o jesus-christ_n himself_o and_o which_o we_o see_v impower_v &_o authorise_v even_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o apostle_n nor_o will_v they_o have_v despise_v the_o authority_n of_o s._n peter_n seat_n which_o have_v so_o solid_a a_o foundation_n in_o the_o gospel_n and_o so_o evident_a a_o continuation_n
