it_o be_v certain_a that_o king_n and_o parliament_n have_v the_o supreme_a legislative_a authority_n in_o this_o realm_n and_o this_o they_o have_v from_o the_o law_n of_o god_n nature_n and_o

the_o civil_a power_n can_v change_v the_o nature_n of_o thing_n to_o make_v good_a evil_n or_o evil_a good_a but_o only_o give_v authority_n and_o security_n and_o in_o this_o they_o be_v restrain_v

prove_v to_o be_v no_o bishop_n second_o you_o will_v object_v and_o salve_v up_o all_o the_o defect_n aforementioned_a in_o one_o word_n to_o wit_n that_o although_o the_o form_n use_v in_o the_o

be_v show_v which_o be_v impossible_a for_o though_o we_o be_v satisfy_v that_o all_o the_o priest_n of_o this_o age_n be_v due_o ordain_v yet_o if_o we_o be_v not_o as_o sure_o that_o all_o who_o
