this_o matter_n be_v again_o handle_v where_o first_o m._n doctor_n will_v draw_v the_o place_n of_o galathian_n the_o second_o to_o prove_v a_o archbishop_n and_o that_o by_o a_o false_a

may_v be_v think_v of_o some_o not_o so_o pregnant_a nor_o so_o full_a against_o the_o archbishop_n yet_o all_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o it_o make_v more_o against_o he_o then_o for_o he_o for_o s._n paul_n purpose_n be_v to_o prove_v there_o that_z he_o be_v not_o inferior_a to_o any_o of_o the_o apostle_n &_o bring_v one_o argument_n thereof_o that_o he_o have_v not_o his_o gospel_n from_o they_o but_o from_o christ_n immediate_o &_o therefore_o if_o the_o apostle_n that_o be_v esteem_v most_o of_o and_o suppose_a by_o the_o galatian_n &_o other_o to_o be_v the_o chief_a have_v

then_o that_o m._n doctor_n can_v answer_v for_o if_o the_o writer_n to_o the_o hebrew_n do_v prove_v our_o saviour_n christ_n vocation_n to_o be_v just_a and_o lawful_a because_o his_o call_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n as_o appear_v in_o the_o 5._o and_o 6._o verse_n then_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o call_n of_o the_o archbishop_n which_o be_v not_o comprehend_v there_o be_v neither_o just_a nor_o lawful_a for_o that_o no_o man_n say_v the_o apostle_n take_v that_o honour_n unto_o himself_o but_o he_o that_o be_v call_v of_o god_n etc_n etc_n but_o i_o say_v have_v

for_o the_o establishment_n of_o they_o he_o say_v therefore_o afterward_o that_o although_o one_o man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o be_v bishop_n over_o all_o the_o church_n yet_o he_o may_v be_v bishop_n over_o a_o whole_a diocese_n or_o of_o a_o province_n now_o if_o i_o will_v say_v the_o one_o be_v as_o impossible_a as_o the_o other_o &_o for_o proof_n thereof_o allege_v that_o which_o the_o

reason_v i_o think_v i_o shall_v put_v you_o to_o some_o pain_n
write_n and_o paraphrase_n upon_o the_o scripture_n be_v esteem_v comparable_a in_o that_o kind_n of_o paraphrastical_a write_n with_o any_o which_o have_v labour_v that_o way_n and_o if_o any_o man_n

from_o such_o interpretation_n in_o the_o church_n and_o content_a itself_o with_o the_o scripture_n it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o a_o most_o dangerous_a attempt_n to_o bring_v any_o thing_n into_o the_o church_n to_o be_v red_a besides_o the_o word_n of_o god_n this_o practice_n continue_v still_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n after_o the_o apostle_n time_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o
