come_v to_o reign_v over_o a_o kingdom_n wherein_o the_o protestant_a religion_n be_v altogether_o profess_a and_o establish_v be_v it_o then_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o parliament_n without_o

a_o native_a of_o that_o kingdom_n a_o parliament_n of_o the_o whole_a state_n assemble_v may_v without_o his_o consent_n establish_v and_o confirm_v the_o ancient_a law_n and_o statute_n of_o the_o

yet_o satisfy_v whether_o a_o parliament_n either_o with_o consent_n of_o the_o prince_n or_o without_o can_v alter_v a_o form_n of_o government_n establish_v in_o a_o kingdom_n concern_v one_o religion_n be_v it_o the_o protestant_n or_o other_o wisdom_n to_o answer_v this_o i_o conceive_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n can_v be_v alter_v for_o than_o we_o do_v change_v our_o religion_n and_o be_v not_o of_o the_o same_o as_o before_o but_o of_o a_o new_a but_o the_o government_n and_o discipline_n of_o a_o church_n may_v be_v change_v according_a as_o the_o wisdom_n and_o policy_n of_o the_o state_n shall_v find_v the_o same_o convenient_a or_o inconvenient_a hurtful_a or_o commodious_a for_o the_o same_o piety_n nay_o the_o title_n place_n and_o office_n of_o man_n of_o holy_a order_n be_v at_o the_o pleasure_n of_o a_o parliament_n change_v or_o quite_o take_v away_o be_v of_o such_o antiquity_n in_o the_o church_n as_o lord_n bishop_n bishop_n archdeacon_n de●●es_n prebend_n and_o the_o like_a wisdom_n i_o conceive_v their_o title_n may_v be_v change_v or_o take_v away_o as_o lord_n bishop_n archdeacon_n &c._n &c._n for_o no_o such_o name_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o scripture_n or_o by_o the_o same_o warrant_v their_o place_n of_o both_o temporal_a and_o spiritual_a jurisdiction_n as_o they_o be_v make_v the_o only_a governor_n of_o the_o church_n and_o of_o the_o state_n too_o may_v if_o a_o state_n find_v they_o hurtful_a and_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o same_o be_v take_v away_o and_o change_v but_o for_o their_o spiritual_a function_n and_o office_n of_o bishop_n or_o presbyter_n i_o conceive_v the_o same_o can_v be_v change_v or_o take_v away_o with-safety_n or_o security_n but_o the_o sole_a power_n and_o jurisdiction_n in_o government_n of_o the_o church_n may_v be_v take_v from_o particular_a person_n and_o assistance_n of_o grave_n divine_v join_v with_o they_o in_o the_o same_o as_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o parliament_n shall_v see_v i_o meet_v piety_n but_o may_v a_o state_n politic_n and_o civil_a change_n the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n and_o establish_v a_o new_a sonnic_n of_o

they_o in_o holy_a order_n can_v of_o its_o self_n change_v the_o government_n of_o a_o church_n without_o advice_n and_o consent_n of_o the_o clergy_n but_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v in_o the_o sole_a
