but_o see_v the_o prince_n himself_o be_v a_o lover_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n it_o be_v a_o question_n whether_o there_o may_v be_v such_o a_o assembly_n with_o out_o the_o consent_n or_o commandment_n of_o the_o prince_n whether_o the_o minister_n alone_o may_v meet_v as_o often_o as_o they_o will_n last_o of_o all_o whether_o the_o noble_n and_o other_o godly_a man_n &_o elder_n which_o be_v yearly_o choose_v with_o we_o out_o of_o the_o people_n and_o nobility_n together_o may_v lawful_o or_o expedient_o come_v without_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o king_n to_o such_o assembly_n which_o assembly_n of_o the_o noble_n and_o people_n seem_v to_o some_o altogether_o needle_n under_o a_o godly_a prince_n either_o because_o it_o have_v not_o long_o since_o be_v receyve_v by_o a_o mere_a custom_n without_o any_o law_n and_o that_o under_o a_o prince_n who_o then_o resist_v the_o religion_n whereby_o such_o assembly_n may_v have_v the_o great_a authority_n or_o else_o because_o it_o may_v seem_v dangerous_a if_o so_o many_o noble_n assemble_v so_o often_o without_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o king_n they_o may_v sometime_o consult_v of_o some_o thing_n else_o beside_o religion_n other_o think_v that_o this_o assembly_n be_v in_o no_o case_n to_o be_v refuse_v but_o rather_o that_o it_o be_v very_o needful_a that_o the_o noble_n and_o other_o religious_a man_n be_v present_a as_o helper_n to_o their_o minister_n in_o the_o assembly_n bear_v witness_n of_o their_o life_n and_o the_o people_n behaviour_n otherwise_o it_o will_v after_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o if_o a_o impious_a prince_n reign_v afterward_o that_o neither_o minister_n may_v safe_o assemble_v neither_o can_v the_o determination_n be_v put_v in_o execution_n without_o the_o consent_n help_v &_o aid_v of_o the_o noble_n to_o the_o second_o question_n counsel_n be_v necessary_a in_o the_o church_n for_o many_o cause_n both_o to_o the_o retain_v of_o agreement_n and_o also_o to_o the_o seek_v of_o remedy_n by_o common_a advice_n for_o the_o danger_n which_o fall_v out_o and_o last_o of_o all_o to_o take_v order_n for_o those_o that_o rest_v not_o in_o the_o

least_o in_o discourse_v of_o matter_n they_o spend_v the_o time_n in_o vain_a and_o it_o will_v be_v best_a for_o the_o avoid_n of_o ambition_n that_o the_o council_n be_v not_o always_o assemble_v in_o the_o same_o place_n of_o every_o province_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o one_o half_a year_n synod_n be_v discuss_v it_o may_v be_v determine_v by_o common_a consent_n where_o shall_v be_v the_o
