[B] You know likewise, Sir, how much my Judgment is for the Order of Bishops; and how Passionate a Lover I am both of the Kings Person and Government; but yet, being thus called by You to decla••ethe Truth, though co••trary to my own Humour and Interest, I must needs say, &c.]
[B] This Cuts a Hair; the Man we see, is Willing but Weak. Alass! You know SIR how much my Judgment, &c.—and how Passionate a Lover, &c.—
What is there in This Fawning Clause; that the Kings Headsman might not set his Hand to? He does not say, you know that I Am, Thus or So, but you know how much I am; that is, Whether I am, or not. The most Pestilent Enemy the King has might have said a••••ch.
Marque ••w, what 'tis his Judgment is so much for. For the Order of Bishops. He will not say, Degree, or Praelation of them; (That he renounces) but the Order of them: a Goodly Shift!
Because every Bishop is a Presbyter, therefore every Presbyter is a Bishop. The King is a Gentle∣man; is therefore every Gentleman a King? An E••rl is a Baron; but the Baron is not Therefore an Earl. These Differ in Order upon the same pro∣portion of Reason, as does a Bishop from a Presbyter. But to clear This point, we are first to agree what's meant by Order.

It is Otherwise taken for Potestas ad Actum Specialem; a Power, or Enablement for some Special Act: and in This sense, a Bishop differs, Ordine, from a Presbyter, in the Power of Ordinati∣on, and Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction; as a Presbyter does from a Deacon, in the Power of Cons••crating the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Now say on.
