have_v already_o prove_v from_o his_o own_o assertion_n that_o their_o government_n be_v just_o term_v antichristian_a but_o their_o jurisdiction_n extend_v over_o the_o church_n of_o a_o whole_a

in_o substance_n one_o and_o the_o same_o however_o they_o differ_v in_o subordination_n to_o the_o pope_n he_o be_v wiset_v i_o trow_v then_o to_o be_v so_o far_o misledd_v by_o the_o doctor_n as_o to_o say_v that_o our_o parish_n pastor_n and_o their_o parish_n priest_n be_v alike_o antichristian_a for_o their_o preisthood_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o very_a essence_n and_o form_n of_o their_o

the_o same_o office_n but_o of_o a_o diverse_a form_n ordain_v as_o the_o doctor_n right_o affirm_v to_o preach_v the_o word_n and_o to_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n now_o there_o be_v no_o such_o essential_a difference_n in_o the_o very_a function_n itself_o which_o our_o bishop_n and_o the_o popish_a do_v hold_v and_o execute_v wherefore_o though_o it_o be_v a_o absolute_a inconsequence_n to_o infer_v that_o our_o parish_n pastor_n be_v antichristian_a because_o the_o popish_a parish_n priest_n be_v such_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o function_n be_v differ_v yet_o when_o the_o

that_o they_o can_v be_v antichristian_a because_o the_o popish_a bishop_n be_v not_o antichristian_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o large_a extent_n of_o their_o jurisdiction_n but_o in_o regard_n of_o
