methinks_v this_o be_v more_o probable_a that_o they_o be_v all_o or_o for_o the_o most_o part_n but_o bare_a presbyter_n for_o in_o the_o first_o age_n of_o the_o church_n when_o the_o conversion_n of_o man_n to_o christ_n be_v new_a and_o there_o be_v but_o few_o christian_n few_o presbyter_n be_v necessary_a and_o then_o much_o sewer_a bishop_n especial_o the_o apostle_n live_v and_o

therefore_o prove_v nothing_o for_o their_o parity_n but_o he_o add_v that_o the_o word_n bishop_n be_v never_o use_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o the_o action_n therein_o require_v belong_v

but_o bishop_n have_v neither_o above_o those_o that_o be_v presbyter_n for_o if_o labour_v in_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n be_v a_o act_n above_o rule_v and_o be_v most_o worthy_a of_o double_a honour_n then_o the_o act_n and_o honour_n of_o a_o presbyter_n be_v above_o the_o act_n and_o honour_n of_o a_o bishop_n for_o they_o only_o assume_v the_o act_n of_o rule_n but_o give_v the_o

work_n live_v to_o bear_v witness_n for_o they_o be_v dead_a and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v this_o to_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o spleen_n rather_o than_o reason_n and_o for_o the_o second_o clause_n of_o this_o foundation_n that_o they_o give_v the_o presbyter_n leave_v to_o labour_v in_o the_o word_n they_o do_v much_o more_o for_o they_o episcopize_v over_o they_o and_o look_v to_o they_o and_o by_o authority_n over_o they_o make_v they_o do_v it_o encourage_v they_o who_o do_v and_o punish_v those_o who_o do_v not_o if_o man_n have_v misdemean_v themselves_o in_o their_o office_n no_o
