himself_o hate_v to_o be_v reform_v 2._o that_o there_o be_v and_o have_v be_v a_o old_a feud_n difference_n and_o dissension_n and_o can_v possible_o be_v otherwise_o where_o the_o laity_n be_v govern_v by_o one_o law_n and_o the_o clergy_n by_o another_o the_o laity_n a_o distinct_a and_o peculiar_a party_n on_o the_o one_o part_n and_o the_o clergy_n with_o other_o design_n a_o party_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o laity_n on_o the_o other_o part_n the_o devil_n and_o the_o pope_n bring_v in_o that_o distinction_n of_o laity_n and_o clergy_n not_o god_n and_o scripture_n and_o it_o be_v never_o a_o quiet_a world_n in_o christendom_n since_o that_o time_n of_o make_v that_o distinction_n which_o god_n never_o make_v 3._o that_o when_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n thwart_v the_o clergy_n and_o the_o canon_n of_o their_o own_o devise_v and_o make_v to_o gratify_v as_o those_o of_o rade_v aforesaid_a only_o their_o avarice_n ambition_n and_o revenge_n yet_o that_o be_v call_v oppress_v the_o church_n of_o god_n 4._o that_o king_n must_v always_o under_o the_o notion_n of_o submit_v to_o god_n and_o christ_n submit_v their_o sceptre_n crown_n and_o dignity_n to_o religious_a zealot_n and_o bigot_n when_o they_o get_v the_o power_n and_o they_o will_v have_v it_o too_o or_o they_o will_v want_v of_o their_o will_n 5._o that_o the_o clergy_n archbishop_n and_o bishop_n account_v themselves_o and_o be_v take_v and_o accept_v for_o the_o church_n of_o england_n 6._o that_o the_o pope_n be_v head_n of_o this_o church_n his_o decree_n their_o rule_n and_o canon_n to_o walk_v by_o and_o carry_v on_o their_o ecclesiastical-court_n and_o jurisdiction_n 7._o that_o their_o law_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n 8._o that_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n be_v sometime_o though_o but_o a_o little_a little_a time_n too_o hard_o for_o those_o archbishop_n bishop_n and_o clergy_n of_o who_o the_o pope_n be_v supreme_a head_n 9_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o our_o present_a archbishop_n bishop_n and_o ecclesiastical_a jurisdiction_n can_v derive_v their_o authority_n for_o ecclesiastical_a court_n from_o the_o popish_a archbishop_n popish_a canon_n popish_a bishop_n that_o have_v the_o pope_n for_o their_o head_n since_o our_o clergy_n archbishop_n and_o bishop_n do_v renounce_v the_o pope_n supremacy_n 10._o that_o the_o ecclesiastical_n before_o hen._n 8._o whilst_o the_o pope_n be_v their_o head_n look_v upon_o the_o king_n of_o england_n as_o their_o inferior_n and_o that_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n sentiment_n and_o decree_n shall_v truckle_n to_o they_o and_o if_o some_o have_v not_o some_o strange_a relic_n they_o will_v not_o dare_v as_o this_o archdeacon_n do_v to_o write_v and_o defend_v a_o jurisdiction_n and_o court_n in_o england_n without_o special_a authority_n and_o commission_n from_o the_o king_n and_o for_o he_o to_o say_v they_o keep_v court_n by_o common-law_n be_v the_o idle_v of_o all_o his_o dream_n 1._o because_o before_o will._n the_o conqueror_n there_o be_v never_o any_o spiritual_a court_n keep_v distinct_a from_o the_o hundred-court_n and_o if_o they_o have_v right_a to_o keep_v they_o there_o at_o the_o bailiff_n house_n let_v they_o come_v but_o instead_o of_o chancellor_n surrogate_v and_o official_o and_o archdeacon_n must_v
