christ_n can_v be_v transferr_v d_o to_o other_o second_o the_o church_n be_v take_v representative_o for_o the_o sit_v of_o bishop_n in_o council_n and_o synod_n which_o nation_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o holy_a writ_n for_o although_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v find_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n as_o translate_v by_o the_o 70_o interpreter_n and_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n by_o a_o just_a account_n about_o 88_o time_n yet_o it_o never_o signify_v the_o church_n assemble_v in_o a_o representative_a synod_n as_o be_v manifest_a but_o this_o signification_n be_v introduce_v by_o ecclesiastical_a use_n and_o custom_n yet_o here_o we_o say_v that_o this_o church_n have_v the_o authority_n not_o only_o of_o a_o teacher_n but_o of_o a_o judge_n first_o this_o church_n do_v authoritative_o teach_v second_o judge_n three_o command_n four_o punish_v those_o who_o disobey_v yet_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o church_n have_v any_o

of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o what_o the_o papist_n assert_v with_o relation_n to_o general_n council_n for_o first_o there_o be_v a_o time_n when_o there_o be_v no_o general_a council_n namely_o
