of_o that_o right_n of_o administer_a the_o sacrament_n from_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n these_o thing_n therefore_o be_v general_o believe_v by_o the_o bishop_n may_v make_v they_o general_o

those_o bishop_n which_o be_v consecrate_a then_o from_o receive_v it_o it_o be_v consequential_o inconsistent_a you_o will_v say_v with_o those_o patent_n by_o which_o they_o derive_v a_o right_n of_o give_v order_n and_o of_o inflict_v spiritual_a censure_n from_o the_o king_n but_o it_o be_v no_o more_o so_o than_o those_o patent_n be_v with_o those_o doctrine_n that_o all_o power_n of_o that_o kind_n be_v to_o be_v derive_v from_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n who_o have_v give_v it_o to_o the_o church_n not_o to_o the_o lay-magistrate_n the_o consequence_n whereof_o must_v be_v that_o be_v mutual_o inconsistent_a they_o ought_v to_o be_v make_v consistent_a as_o far_o as_o be_v possible_a in_o practice_n by_o interpretation_n that_o be_v that_o one_o duty_n be_v perform_v so_o far_o and_o so_o far_o only_o as_o be_v consistent_a with_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o other_o but_o in_o this_o way_n of_o proceed_v it_o be_v unavoidable_a but_o that_o one_o of_o the_o two_o duty_n must_v take_v place_n of_o the_o other_o so_o as_o to_o leave_v no_o place_n for_o the_o other_o any_o further_a than_o be_v consistent_a with_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o principal_a
