much_o for_o the_o pope_n as_z for_o the_o archbishop_n for_o although_o they_o be_v two_o head_n yet_o they_o stand_v upon_o one_o neck_n and_o therefore_o the_o reform_a church_n which_o cut_v right_n do_v strike_v they_o both_o of_o at_o one_o blow_n in_o neither_o of_o the_o sentence_n here_o allege_v out_o of_o cyprian_a nor_o in_o all_o his_o work_n as_o have_v be_v before_o note_a be_v there_o one_o word_n of_o a_o archbishop_n and_o yet_o m._n doctor_n say_v that_o he_o speak_v of_o a_o archbishop_n before_o he_o show_v the_o name_n without_o the_o office_n and_o now_o he_o go_v about_o to_o show_v the_o office_n without_o the_o name_n so_o that_o he_o can_v never_o make_v both_o the_o name_n and_o office_n meet_v together_o to_o shape_v out_o a_o archbishop_n here_o you_o must_v needs_o interpret_v the_o word_n bishop_n and_o priest_n archbishop_n and_o high_a priest_n for_o cyprian_a make_v mention_n of_o no_o other_o name_n of_o ministry_n in_o those_o place_n and_o if_o you_o may_v have_v this_o scope_n of_o interpreat_v it_o will_v not_o be_v hear_v for_o you_o to_o prove_v that_o stone_n be_v bread_n and_o that_o chalk_v be_v cheese_n let_v we_o see_v what_o be_v a_o bishop_n or_o priest_n i_o use_v the_o name_n of_o priest_n against_o my_o will_v but_o because_o it_o be_v sacerdos_fw-la &_o you_o so_o translate_v it_o that_z it_o may_v be_v better_o understand_v what_o i_o answer_v to_o you_o i_o be_o content_a to_o follow_v you_o so_o far_o i_o say_v let_v we_o consider_v what_o be_v a_o bishop_n or_o priest_n by_o s._n cyprian_a and_o thereby_o we_o shall_v know_v what_o a_o archbishop_n he_o set_v forth_o unto_o we_o which_o thing_n may_v appear_v manifest_o by_o that_o which_o he_o say_v in_o the_o same_o epistle_n that_o the_o bishop_n that_o be_v appoint_v into_o the_o place_n of_o he_o that_o be_v dead_a be_v choose_n peaceable_o by_o the_o voice_n of_o all_o the_o people_n i_o think_v you_o will_v not_o say_v that_o all_o the_o

and_o confusion_n a_o great_a charge_n to_o the_o church_n and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o persecution_n as_o that_o be_v to_o have_v offer_v the_o whole_a church_n in_o all_o the_o province_n into_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o wolf_n and_o lest_o peradventure_o you_o shall_v have_v this_o hole_n to_o hide_v yourself_o in_o say_n that_o it_o may_v be_v procure_v that_o in_o every_o church_n or_o

the_o next_o epistle_n do_v put_v the_o matter_n out_o of_o all_o question_n say_n that_o the_o priest_n who_o he_o after_o call_v bishop_n be_v choose_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o people_n &_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o all_o so_o that_o cyprian_n bishop_n who_o you_o will_v needs_o have_v a_o archbishop_n have_v neither_o province_n nor_o diocese_n as_z we_o call_v a_o diocese_n but_o only_o a_o church_n or_o congregation_n such_o as_o the_o minister_n and_o pastor_n with_o we_o which_o be_v appoint_v unto_o several_a town_n which_o may_v further_o appear_v in_o that_o cyprian_a say_v that_o out_o of_o one_o province_n there_o be_v 90._o bishop_n which_o condemn_v privatus_fw-la now_o if_o there_o be_v 90._o bishop_n in_o one_o province_n which_o meet_v and_o yet_o not_o all_o that_o be_v in_o that_o province_n as_o may_v appear_v out_o of_o the_o same_o epistle_n all_o man_n do_v understand_v that_o the_o scope_n that_o cyprian_n bishop_n or_o archbishop_n as_o you_o will_v have_v he_o have_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o a_o diocese_n or_o a_o province_n i_o can_v bring_v infinite_a testimony_n out_o of_o cyprian_a to_o prove_v that_o the_o bishop_n in_o his_o time_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o s._n paul_n bishop_n that_o be_v one_o that_o have_v cure_v and_o charge_n of_o one_o flock_n which_o be_v so_o place_v as_o it_o may_v be_v teach_v of_o he_o and_o

you_o must_v be_v drive_v to_o expound_v this_o word_n church_n province_n the_o papist_n which_o cite_v this_o place_n for_o the_o pope_n as_o you_o do_v for_o the_o archbishop_n expound_v the_o word_n church_n here_o to_o be_v the_o whole_a church_n universal_a and_o catholic_a and_o in_o deed_n although_o it_o be_v false_o expound_v so_o in_o this_o place_n yet_o may_v they_o do_v it_o with_o more_o probability_n and_o likelihood_n then_o to_o expound_v it_o a_o province_n forsomuch_o as_o these_o word_n the_o church_n be_v often_o red_a both_o in_o the_o scripture_n and_o old_a writer_n to_o signify_v the_o whole_a church_n then_o any_o province_n of_o one_o realm_n but_o let_v cyprian_a expound_v himself_o what_o he_o mean_v by_o a_o church_n here_o although_o that_o may_v easy_o appear_v by_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v of_o s._n cyprian_n his_o bishop_n whereas_o cyprian_n declare_v that_o cornelius_n the_o bishop_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v in_o rome_n will_v not_o let_v felicissimum_fw-la a_o novation_n heretic_n be_v cast_v out_o by_o the_o bishop_n of_o africa_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o church_n he_o declare_v sufficient_o that_o he_o mean_v that_o

shut_v he_o out_o of_o the_o province_n neither_o indeed_o can_v he_o himself_o be_v not_o able_a without_o hazard_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o persecution_n that_o then_o be_v to_o tarry_v in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o province_n again_o speak_v against_o the_o novatian_a heretic_n he_o show_v that_o through_o his_o wicked_a opinion_n of_o deny_v of_o repentance_n to_o those_o that_o be_v fall_v the_o confession_n of_o fault_n in_o the_o church_n be_v hinder_v now_o it_o be_v manifest_v that_o confession_n be_v not_o make_v through_o out_o the_o province_n but_o in_o that_o particular_a church_n where_o the_o party_n dwell_v that_o commit_v the_o fault_n therefore_o cyprian_n understand_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o church_n neither_o diocese_n as_o we_o call_v diocese_n and_o much_o less_o a_o whole_a province_n and_o in_o the_o same_o epistle_n speak_v of_o those_o which_o have_v fall_v he_o say_v that_o they_o dare_v not_o come_v so_o much_o as_z to_o the_o threshold_n

his_o church_n whereof_o he_o be_v bishop_n be_v neither_o diocese_n nor_o province_n but_o a_o congregation_n which_o meet_v together_o in_o one_o place_n &_o to_o be_v teach_v of_o one_o man_n what_o shall_v m._n doctor_n mean_v to_o put_v on_o this_o great_a name_n of_o archbishop_n upon_o so_o small_a a_o bishopric_n as_o it_o be_v saules_n great_a harness_n upon_o david_n his_o little_a
