that_o there_o be_v no_o particular_a form_n of_o church-government_n lay_v down_o in_o the_o word_n which_o judgement_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v of_o unless_o they_o will_v hold_v that_o the_o government_n of_o other_o church_n be_v sinful_a and_o contrary_a unto_o the_o word_n which_o they_o be_v loath_a for_o to_o do_v and_o true_o if_o this_o government_n be_v simple_o the_o best_a the_o best_a have_v the_o worst_a success_n for_o there_o be_v no_o government_n in_o all_o the_o church_n of_o christendom_n that_o have_v have_v so_o many_o sect_n and_o schism_n or_o occasion_v so_o

protestant_a church_n there_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o church-government_n or_o discipline_n but_o by_o reason_n of_o doctrine_n let_v any_o man_n but_o serious_o consider_v the_o protestant_a church_n in_o switzerland_n france_n holland_n germany_n scotland_n and_o he_o shall_v easy_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o separation_n or_o division_n make_v from_o the_o church_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o church-government_n establish_v in_o they_o as_o have_v be_v here_o in_o england_n by_o reason_n of_o this_o diocesan_n government_n and_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v say_v this_o bad_a success_n here_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o governor_n than_o the_o corruption_n of_o government_n why_o shall_v he_o think_v that_o the_o governor_n in_o england_n be_v more_o wicked_a then_o in_o other_o protestant_a church_n if_o the_o government_n itself_o do_v not_o give_v scope_n to_o their_o wickedness_n and_o if_o the_o government_n of_o diocesan_n bishop_n be_v of_o all_o government_n the_o best_a we_o wonder_v that_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n shall_v not_o appoint_v it_o sure_o they_o appoint_v some_o government_n in_o the_o

for_o grant_v which_o be_v never_o give_v but_o we_o say_v not_o that_o we_o suppose_v but_o see_v and_o find_v experimental_o that_o a_o prince_n be_v mislead_v by_o those_o about_o he_o that_o
