great_a sin_n where_o ever_o it_o be_v find_v the_o church_n in_o her_o prayer_n for_o this_o day_n seem_v not_o to_o make_v any_o confession_n for_o this_o sin_n she_o think_v her_o hand_n be_v

before_o he_o be_v bishop_n in_o his_o preface_n to_o the_o relation_n of_o the_o death_n of_o the_o primitive_a persecutor_n that_o they_o who_o let_v themselves_o loose_v to_o all_o the_o rage_n of_o a_o mad_a prosecution_n of_o some_o poor_a undiscreet_a and_o delude_a people_n ought_v serious_o to_o profess_v their_o repentance_n of_o this_o fury_n in_o instance_n that_o may_v be_v as_o

consider_v be_v that_o about_o re-ordination_a in_o the_o act_n of_o uniformity_n as_o though_o ordination_n by_o presbyter_n and_o pastor_n of_o church_n be_v not_o sufficient_a without_o the_o lay_n on_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o those_o we_o now_o call_v bishop_n lord_n bishop_n to_o this_o i_o say_v 1._o that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n make_v no_o difference_n between_o

bishop_n of_o the_o first_o two_o hundred_o year_n as_o the_o pastor_n of_o single_a congregation_n wherefore_o i_o say_v that_o ordination_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o pastor_n of_o church_n fill_v
