the_o difference_n be_v this_o any_o tree_n may_v be_v consider_v two_o way_n first_o as_o it_o be_v a_o organic_n body_n consist_v of_o root_n and_o branch_n which_o be_v dissimilar_v organic_n

so_o bellarmine_n egregious_o sophisticats_n in_o make_v cyprian_a compare_v that_o one_o bishopric_n to_o a_o tree_n as_o it_o be_v a_o organic_n body_n whereas_o cyprian_n compare_v it_o to_o a_o

the_o whole_a and_o every_o particular_a bishopric_n a_o part_n but_o bellarmine_n make_v the_o bishopric_n of_o peter_n and_o his_o successor_n the_o whole_a or_o that_o one_o bishopric_n mention_v by_o cyprian_a he_o likeways_o make_v it_o a_o part_n in_o show_v in_o what_o manner_n comparative_o with_o other_o it_o have_v a_o share_n of_o that_o one_o bishopric_n which_o be_v the_o whole_a according_a to_o his_o own_o confession_n and_o likeways_o a_o part_n according_a to_o his_o own_o confession_n which_o be_v a_o manifest_a contradiction_n three_o he_o add_v contradiction_n to_o contradiction_n for_o in_o explain_v the_o way_n how_o every_o bishopric_n have_v a_o share_n of_o that_o one_o bishopric_n he_o grant_v that_o every_o part_n have_v a_o full_a share_n but_o not_o a_o

it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o one_o bishopric_n may_v be_v great_a in_o riches_n splendour_n etc._n etc._n then_o a_o other_o bishopric_n but_o they_o be_v all_o alike_a bishopric_n riches_n and_o poverty_n hinder_v not_o the_o episcopal_a dignity_n and_o jurisdiction_n as_o be_v affirm_v by_o hieronymus_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o euagrius_n where_o he_o affirm_v that_o the_o mean_a bishop_n be_v equal_o a_o bishop_n with_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n or_o constantinople_n which_o equality_n of_o bishop_n be_v in_o essentials_n for_o the_o superiority_n of_o a_o archbishop_n above_o a_o bishop_n be_v in_o accidental_n and_o be_v a_o non-ens_a in_o the_o day_n of_o cyprian_a and_o therefore_o he_o speak_v absolute_o without_o restriction_n of_o the_o equality_n of_o bishop_n and_o thus_o we_o have_v show_v with_o what_o admirable_a sophistry_n bellarmine_n endeavour_v to_o wrest_v the_o meaning_n of_o cyprian_a with_o who_o testimony_n rayinundus_n rufus_n be_v so_o press_v dispute_v against_o molinaeus_n that_o he_o tax_v the_o say_n of_o cyprian_a as_o erroneous_a because_o say_v he_o ulpianus_n affirm_v that_o two_o person_n can_v have_v dominion_n in_o solidum_fw-la

rufus_n be_v in_o a_o mistake_n both_o in_o the_o these_o and_o in_o the_o hypothese_fw-mi he_o be_v mistake_v in_o the_o these_o because_o the_o lawyer_n maintain_v that_o more_o person_n may_v
