after_o the_o order_n of_o jethro_n the_o chief_a bishop_n do_v succeed_v in_o the_o high_a priest_n room_n and_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v as_o sovereign_a bishop_n because_o that_o next_o to_o jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v none_o in_o great_a authority_n they_o they_o but_o there_o be_v in_o less_o and_o for_o their_o part_n they_o be_v in_o equal_a authority_n each_o with_o

shall_v not_o need_v one_o to_o depend_v upon_o the_o other_o now_o that_o they_o be_v chief_a it_o appear_v first_o in_o that_o saint_n paul_n liken_v himself_o unto_o a_o master_n builder_n not_o

that_o obey_v and_o he_o that_o send_v than_o he_o that_o be_v send_v 6._o now_o s._n paul_n command_v timothy_n say_v i_o command_v thou_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n he_o require_v also_o obedience_n in_o philemon_n say_v trust_v in_o thy_o obedience_n true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o also_o use_v entreaty_n whereof_o grow_v the_o proverb_n a_o great_a lord_n request_n be_v as_o

as_o also_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o every_o bishop_n here_o may_v one_o object_v that_o since_o the_o apostle_n be_v equal_a in_o authority_n the_o bishop_n also_o ought_v to_o be_v of_o equal_a

that_o all_o simple_a masson_n or_o workman_n shall_v be_v so_o in_o deed_n it_o follow_v that_o all_o chief_a bishop_n in_o every_o kingdom_n or_o sovereign_a principality_n shall_v have_v like_o

may_v be_v refer_v to_o the_o preach_n but_o the_o interpretation_n hinder_v not_o the_o application_n likewise_o we_o may_v bring_v a_o other_o example_n and_o that_o be_v that_o albeit_o the_o

may_v they_o also_o object_n that_o s._n paul_n call_v titus_n his_o companion_n 8._o and_o say_v to_o philemon_n if_o thou_o accompte_v i_o thy_o fellow_n whereto_o i_o answer_v that_o aeneas_n call_v his_o soldier_n his_o fellow_n and_o yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o they_o be_v equal_a with_o their_o captain_n and_o a_o captain_n may_v say_v to_o his_o soldier_n i_o be_o thy_o fellow_n and_o it_o become_v he_o but_o the_o soldier_n to_o say_v the_o same_o it_o be_v unseemly_a it_o may_v also_o be_v object_v that_o s._n paul_n call_v the_o other_o bishop_n his_o helper_n and_o

the_o reformation_n of_o heresy_n see_v that_o we_o account_n not_o our_o doctor_n opinion_n as_o oracle_n or_o gounde_n of_o doctrine_n moreover_o we_o confess_v that_o we_o draw_v near_o to_o the_o
