we_o see_v who_o puritan_n be_v all_o such_o as_o hold_v not_o with_o episcopacy_n that_o be_v in_o probability_n half_a ireland_n more_o than_o half_a england_n all_o scotland_n and_o many_o other_o protestant_a country_n king_n james_n do_v put_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o such_o as_o disrelisht_a bishop_n and_o ceremony_n mere_o and_o such_o as_o under_o that_o pretext_n fraudulent_o seek_v to_o perturb_v the_o state_n and_o make_v a_o factious_a separation_n but_o here_o the_o difference_n of_o all_o puritan_n be_v gradual_a only_o not_o substantial_a for_o dislike_n of_o bishop_n be_v the_o beginning_n of_o all_o heresy_n and_o must_v needs_o end_v in_o anabaptism_n and_o rebellion_n how_o plain_o do_v it_o here_o appear_v that_o episcopacy_n be_v the_o true_a helena_n of_o all_o this_o war_n and_o yet_o saint_n cyprian_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o pastoral_a function_n not_o of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a jurisdiction_n of_o a_o bishop_n or_o else_o in_o his_o sense_n the_o genevan_n and_o the_o great_a part_n of_o protestant_n be_v heretic_n and_o king_n james_n make_v a_o frivolous_a distinction_n such_o stuff_n as_o this_o have_v not_o misbeseem_v a_o papist_n but_o it_o be_v very_o odd_a in_o a_o protestant_a bishop_n except_o we_o consider_v he_o as_o one_o who_o have_v look_v back_o towards_o the_o onion_n and_o fleshpot_n of_o egypt_n and_o be_v enamour_v again_o upon_o those_o glorious_a title_n and_o ensign_n of_o honour_n and_o pomp_n which_o rome_n confer_v upon_o her_o courtier_n but_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n i_o wish_v prince_n will_v not_o allow_v such_o bishop_n to_o be_v carver_n to_o themselves_o and_o make_v they_o judge_n in_o case_n of_o their_o own_o interest_n they_o be_v sure_o good_a spectacle_n for_o

religion_n do_v not_o prosper_v worse_o if_o peace_n be_v not_o more_o violate_v if_o persecution_n be_v not_o more_o common_a in_o country_n where_o bishop_n govern_v than_o where_o they_o be_v expel_v we_o may_v suspect_v the_o scot_n as_o heretical_a and_o rebellious_a by_o nature_n for_o choose_v all_o the_o plague_n of_o war_n rather_o than_o bishop_n but_o when_o we_o see_v the_o contrary_a we_o may_v aswell_o listen_v to_o the_o scot_n against_o bishop_n as_o to_o bishop_n against_o the_o scot_n so_o much_o of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a puritan_n next_o after_o who_o spring_v

yet_o not_o of_o late_a but_o episcopacy_n have_v ever_o from_o constantine_n claim_v a_o independence_n of_o divine_a right_n till_o this_o instant_n i_o conceive_v there_o be_v not_o in_o all_o
