under_o god_n of_o his_o whole_a kingdom_n as_o his_o body_n politic_a second_o we_o can_v be_v sure_a if_o christ_n be_v altogether_o absent_a that_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n by_o virtue_n of_o

which_o respect_n there_o be_v require_v a_o strength_n above_o any_o create_a power_n three_o because_o the_o papist_n say_v that_o the_o pope_n be_v not_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n in_o such_o a_o sovereign_a and_o principal_a manner_n as_o christ_n but_o the_o ministerial_a head_n over_o the_o whole_a church_n upon_o earth_n therefore_o i_o add_v this_o that_o we_o can_v be_v sure_a that_o a_o deputation_n of_o any_o inferior_a government_n and_o ministry_n be_v put_v over_o to_o any_o one_o man_n whatsoever_o for_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o do_v hinder_v our_o through_o persuasion_n in_o this_o point_n first_o that_o christ_n do_v reserve_v even_o outward_a administration_n in_o his_o own_o power_n for_o it_o be_v he_o which_o send_v forth_o his_o word_n and_o spirit_n which_o have_v ordain_v a_o ministry_n fit_v evangelist_n pastor_n doctor_n whence_o he_o be_v call_v the_o arch-shepherd_n it_o be_v he_o who_o assi_v his_o ministry_n with_o power_n

far_o as_o it_o be_v good_a for_o she_o from_o satan_n the_o liar_n by_o heresy_n and_o satan_n the_o murderer_n by_o persecution_n therefore_o what_o need_n have_v we_o of_o a_o ministerial_a head_n second_o that_o there_o be_v no_o ministerial_a head_n but_o must_v work_v ministerial_o that_o which_o the_o principal_a head_n do_v principal_o for_o else_o it_o be_v but_o a_o rot_a head_n such_o as_o the_o wolf_n find_v in_o the_o carver_n shop_n without_o wit_n or_o brain_n but_o no_o mortal_a man_n nor_o angel_n can_v do_v that_o which_o christ_n our_o head_n do_v because_o the_o office_n of_o his_o headship_n be_v execute_v by_o two_o nature_n concur_v in_o one_o person_n christ_n as_o i_o say_v before_o three_o s●cluso_fw-la christo_fw-la s●cluso_fw-la that_o then_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o lordlike_a power_n over_o the_o whole_a church_n upon_o earth_n out_o of_o christ_n in_o some_o creature_n which_o can_v be_v for_o you_o know_v what_o paul_n say_v there_o be_v many_o

king_n himself_o so_o in_o this_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n upon_o earth_n the_o church_n i_o mean_v though_o there_o be_v diverse_a office_n yet_o he_o keep_v the_o royalty_n in_o himself_o which_o if_o he_o have_v put_v over_o unto_o another_o it_o must_v either_o fasten_v upon_o he_o sloth_n or_o at_o the_o least_o ease_n to_o put_v the_o burden_n of_o government_n upon_o a_o weak_a person_n shoulder_n or_o it_o must_v make_v we_o say_v that_o he_o have_v do_v a_o needless_a thing_n to_o make_v a_o substitute_n in_o his_o own_o presence_n to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v impossible_a 4._o last_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v absent_a and_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o there_o can_v be_v a_o deputy_n yet_o we_o can_v be_v sure_a that_o the_o pope_n be_v he_o and_o of_o this_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o four_o ground_n of_o suspicion_n first_o because_o it_o stand_v upon_o improbable_a interpretation_n such_o as_o can_v neither_o arise_v proper_o nor_o figurative_o such_o as_o can_v be_v derive_v by_o any_o succession_n to_o confirm_v the_o doctrine_n which_o they_o now_o hold_v concern_v their_o great_a head_n they_o say_v that_o god_n say_v to_o peter_n thou_o be_v peter_n and_o upon_o this_o rock_n will_v i_o build_v my_o church_n and_o to_o thou_o will_v i_o give_v the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o again_o feed_v my_o sheep_n therefore_o they_o say_v he_o

that_o david_n desire_n reach_v further_a than_o his_o own_o time_n as_o when_o he_o desire_v the_o water_n of_o the_o well_o of_o bethlehem_n his_o desire_n reach_v as_o some_o think_v to_o our_o
