commissary_n archdeacon_n and_o other_o ordinary_n have_v any_o peculiar_a ecclesiastiel_n jurisdiction_n shall_v have_v full_a power_n and_o authority_n by_o virtue_n of_o this_o act_n as_o well_o to_o inquire_v in_o their_o visitation_n synod_n and_o elsewhere_o to_o take_v accusation_n and_o information_n of_o all_o and_o every_o the_o thing_n above_o mention_v within_o the_o limit_n of_o their_o jurisdiction_n and_o to_o punish_v the_o same_o by_o admonition_n excommunication_n sequestratien_n or_o deprivation_n and_o other_o censure_n and_o process_n in_o like_a form_n as_o heretof_o over_o have_v be_v use_v in_o like_a case_n by_o the_o queen_n ecclesiastical_a law_n 13._o here_o we_o can_v but_o see_v not_o only_o the_o legal_a name_n of_o ecclesiastical_a governor_n mention_v but_o their_o political_a power_n and_o authority_n allow_v yea_o formal_o invest_v and_o establish_v in_o they_o to_o inquire_v and_o to_o punish_v to_o punish_v with_o admonition_n excommunication_n sequestration_n and_o deprivation_n and_o all_o this_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o act._n 14._o have_v we_o nothing_o more_o to_o prove_v episcopal_a government_n to_o be_v establish_v by_o law_n but_o this_o very_a statute_n i_o can_v apprehend_v but_o that_o the_o work_n be_v do_v and_o all_o objection_n to_o the_o contrary_a for_o ever_o supersede_v 15._o be_v here_o only_o a_o liberty_n to_o exercise_v a_o power_n give_v they_o be_v it_o not_o express_v that_o power_n and_o authority_n be_v also_o give_v they_o it_o be_v not_o declare_v that_o they_o have_v power_n and_o authority_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o office_n or_o any_o other_o way_n but_o it_o be_v enact_v that_o they_o have_v power_n and_o authority_n to_o inquire_v and_o punish_v etc._n etc._n by_o virtue_n of_o this_o very_a act._n 16._o yea_o though_o it_o be_v intimate_v that_o the_o same_o course_n have_v be_v use_v former_o it_o be_v not_o enact_v only_o that_o this_o shall_v continue_v but_o as_o if_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o objection_n have_v be_v in_o prospect_n it_o be_v enact_v that_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o statute_n all_o these_o ecclesiastical_a governor_n shall_v have_v full_a power_n and_o authority_n to_o proceed_v in_o like_a form_n as_o heretofore_o bathe_v be_v use_v in_o like_a case_n by_o the_o queen_n ecclesiastical_a law_n 17._o while_o i_o read_v the_o statute_n so_o express_v and_o punctual_a in_o the_o case_n i_o know_v you_o will_v not_o blame_v i_o if_o i_o wonder_v at_o your_o so_o frequent_a compare_v the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n with_o usury_n and_o her_o governor_n with_o usurer_n 18_o i_o do_v not_o know_v of_o any_o statute_n that_o give_v so_o much_o countenance_n to_o usury_n and_o usurer_n as_o to_o say_v be_v it_o enact_v that_o power_n and_o authority_n be_v give_v to_o usurer_n or_o that_o make_v they_o a_o politic_a body_n and_o invest_v they_o with_o government_n over_o so_o much_o as_o their_o own_o tribe_n and_o in_o case_n peculiar_a to_o their_o own_o way_n abuse_n and_o fault_n of_o usury_n do_v not_o reflect_v so_o unbeseem_o 19_o three_o i_o affirm_v that_o shall_v we_o yield_v unto_o you_o that_o there_o be_v no_o express_a statute_n immediate_o authorise_v ecclesiastical_a governor_n yet_o immediate_o it_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v to_o be_v establish_v by_o law_n i_o mean_v such_o law_n as_o empower_n the_o king_n to_o commission_n and_o authorize_v the_o governor_n in_o the_o church_n 20._o that_o the_o king_n have_v such_o a_o power_n in_o he_o be_v manifest_a from_o the_o oath_n of_o supremacy_n for_o be_v supreme_a governor_n in_o all_o cause_n ecclesiastical_a he_o be_v so_o over_o all_o person_n ecclesiastical_a as_o to_o commissionate_a all_o his_o inferior_a governor_n therefore_o they_o all_o either_o mediate_o or_o immediate_o receive_v their_o commission_n from_o he_o which_o be_v no_o doubt_n legal_a in_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o that_o understand_v these_o protestant_a law_n that_o revolve_v the_o power_n usurp_v by_o the_o pope_n upon_o henry_n the_o eight_o and_o all_o his_o successor_n in_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n for_o ever_o v._o 26._o hen._n 8._o c._n 1._o &_o eliz._n 1._o where_o you_o read_v thus_o 21._o all_o jurisdiction_n heretofore_o lawful_o exercise_v by_o any_o ecclesiastical_a power_n or_o authority_n for_o visitation_n reformation_n etc._n etc._n be_v unite_v and_o annex_v to_o the_o imperial_a crown_n of_o this_o realm_n and_o that_o your_o highness_n your_o heir_n and_o successor_n shall_v have_v full_a power_n and_o authority_n by_o virtue_n of_o this_o act_n by_o letter_n patent_n under_o the_o great_a seal_n of_o england_n to_o assign_v name_n and_o authorize_v person_n to_o exercise_v all_o manner_n of_o jurisdiction_n and_o to_o visit_v reform_v redress_n etc._n etc._n 22._o your_o answer_n be_v this_o at_o most_o conclude_v but_o for_o the_o governor_n and_o not_o for_o the_o frame_n of_o government_n 23._o but_o do_v you_o not_o hereby_o grant_v as_o much_o as_o my_o argument_n needs_o for_o if_o the_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n be_v authorize_v by_o law_n you_o owe_v they_o obedience_n and_o the_o law_n in_o they_o and_o your_o covenant_n provoke_v you_o to_o disobedience_n 24._o again_o how_o can_v all_o the_o governor_n be_v authorize_v by_o law_n and_o not_o the_o frame_n of_o government_n too_o he_o that_o by_o law_n commissionate_v all_o the_o governor_n do_v he_o not_o thereby_o establish_v the_o frame_n of_o government_n 25._o yea_o where_o will_v you_o look_v for_o the_o frame_n of_o government_n but_o in_o the_o seat_n of_o governor_n and_o that_o according_a to_o the_o covenant_n itself_o you_o there_o engage_v against_o prelacy_n that_o be_v the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n by_o arch-bishop_n etc._n etc._n viz._n the_o several_a governor_n of_o it_o 26._o you_o add_v the_o king_n supremacy_n may_v exist_v in_o and_o operate_v by_o other_o church_n covernour_n as_o well_o as_o these_o 27._o i_o answer_v easy_o that_o admit_v what_o you_o say_v yet_o as_o no_o other_o sort_n of_o governor_n can_v be_v legal_o so_o until_o the_o king_n commissionate_v they_o as_o he_o have_v do_v these_o so_o this_o kind_n viz._n episcopal_a government_n must_v of_o necessity_n continue_v to_o be_v legal_a until_o the_o king_n shall_v commissionate_v other_o of_o another_o method_n or_o at_o least_o withdraw_v his_o commission_n from_o these_o in_o the_o present_a form_n of_o church-government_n if_o he_o have_v power_n to_o do_v it_o by_o law_n 28._o last_o i_o urge_v you_o that_o this_o government_n be_v plain_o establish_v by_o common_a law_n 29._o to_o this_o you_o say_v that_o prescription_n be_v a_o poor_a fence_n to_o usurpation_n usury_n have_v prescription_n 30._o but_o how_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o present_a government_n be_v a_o usurpation_n so_o weighty_a a_o charge_n deserve_v proof_n 31._o church_n governor_n be_v the_o king_n ecclesiastical_a officer_n they_o have_v their_o power_n and_o authority_n to_o govern_v give_v they_o by_o act_n of_o parliament_n this_o appear_v but_o that_o their_o government_n be_v usurpation_n appear_v not_o 32._o to_o make_v good_a your_o charge_n two_o thing_n require_v proof_n first_o that_o episcopal_a covernment_n be_v a_o usurpation_n at_o first_o second_o that_o it_o be_v so_o still_o and_o that_o it_o have_v not_o obtain_v a_o good_a title_n in_o law_n all_o this_o while_n the_o statute_n now_o mention_v prove_v the_o present_a title_n of_o it_o and_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la be_v a_o sufficient_a evidence_n that_o so_o long_o ago_o it_o have_v legal_a authority_n and_o be_v no_o usurpation_n 33._o i_o rather_o mention_v magna_fw-la charta_fw-la here_o because_o it_o be_v account_v common_a law_n and_o add_v much_o strength_n to_o my_o argument_n thence_o and_o from_o long_a continuance_n especial_o see_v there_o be_v much_o for_o the_o church_n and_o bishop_n but_o nothing_o for_o usurer_n and_o usury_n to_o be_v find_v in_o it_o 34._o the_o plea_n that_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la be_v in_o behalf_n of_o the_o abhot_n at_o well_o as_o bishop_n have_v nothing_o at_o all_o against_o we_o for_o abbot_n be_v since_o abolish_v by_o law_n so_o be_v not_o bishop_n we_o be_v not_o argue_v that_o nothing_o confirm_v by_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la can_v be_v lawful_o alter_v but_o that_o episcopal_a government_n confirm_v by_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la be_v establish_v by_o that_o law_n and_o not_o remove_v by_o any_o other_o 35._o yea_o this_o objection_n answer_v it_o self_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o its_o company_n and_o yield_v we_o a_o argument_n that_o may_v pass_v for_o a_o instar_fw-la omnium_fw-la abbot_n and_o bishop_n be_v both_o confirm_v by_o the_o law_n of_o this_o land_n abbot_n be_v remove_v by_o law_n and_o not_o bishop_n and_o in_o the_o law_n exceptio_fw-la firmat_n regulam_fw-la in_o non_fw-la exceptis_fw-la and_o therefore_o the_o law_n that_o remove_v the_o abbot_n do_v establish_v the_o
