but_o not_o without_o his_o order_n for_o it_o this_o be_v the_o first_o time_n that_o i_o ever_o hear_v a_o bishop_n have_v power_n to_o give_v such_o order_n he_o may_v indeed_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o canonical_a obedience_n i_o owe_v he_o order_n i_o to_o observe_v the_o rule_n and_o canon_n of_o the_o church_n but_o by_o what_o power_n or_o authority_n he_o can_v appoint_v or_o permit_v the_o breach_n of_o they_o i_o understand_v not_o when_o therefore_o you_o go_v to_o the_o bishop_n to_o consult_v with_o he_o about_o this_o affair_n you_o have_v be_v better_o advise_v have_v you_o go_v and_o consult_v with_o the_o rubric_n of_o the_o common_a prayer_n which_o be_v the_o unquestionable_a rule_n you_o ought_v to_o go_v by_o of_o the_o authority_n whereof_o if_o you_o do_v in_o

uniformity_n of_o public_a prayer_n and_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o then_o consider_v with_o yourself_o whether_o any_o single_a person_n authority_n can_v dispense_v with_o the_o

the_o people_n which_o be_v such_o as_o no_o law_n can_v control_v or_o withstand_v the_o force_n of_o and_o therefore_o if_o mahomet_n will_v not_o come_v to_o the_o mountain_n the_o mountain_n

something_o far_o yet_o to_o offer_v in_o your_o vindication_n which_o be_v that_o you_o have_v often_o both_o from_o the_o desk_n and_o the_o pulpit_n commend_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o church_n and_o answer_v the_o objection_n of_o the_o dissenter_n against_o it_o but_o have_v you_o not_o the_o bishop_n order_n for_o that_o too_o or_o do_v you_o do_v it_o of_o your_o own_o accord_n if_o
