supremacy_n to_o make_v his_o commission_n a_o inferior_a commission_n for_o how_o then_o can_v they_o be_v superior_a or_o next_o under_o christ_n supremacy_n doubtless_o go_v with_o the_o high_a commission_n not_o with_o the_o low_a 4_o if_o they_o hold_v from_o god_n and_o the_o king_n both_o yet_o they_o hold_v two_o office_n of_o preach_v and_o rule_v which_o be_v inconsistent_a the_o one_o destroy_v the_o other_o and_o that_o of_o rule_v be_v 1_o superfluous_a 2_o unjust_a 3_o exceed_o partial_a 4_o the_o bishop_n must_v lay_v aside_o his_o office_n of_o preach_v all_o which_o shall_v be_v prove_v by_o and_o by_o 5_o if_o a_o bishop_n take_v a_o commission_n from_o the_o king_n to_o exercise_v jurisdiction_n though_o he_o be_v ordain_v a_o minister_n to_o preach_v yet_o he_o must_v lay_v aside_o and_o renounce_v his_o ordination_n and_o office_n of_o preach_v that_o he_o may_v so_o attend_v to_o his_o office_n of_o rule_v for_o queen_n elizabeth_n say_v that_o when_o she_o go_v about_o to_o make_v a_o bishop_n she_o be_v go_v to_o stop_v a_o preacher_n mouth_n and_o our_o experience_n for_o fifty_o or_o sixty_o year_n confirm_v it_o for_o they_o preach_v not_o above_o one_o two_o or_o three_o sermon_n in_o a_o year_n and_o sometime_o not_o once_o in_o a_o year_n and_o indeed_o these_o two_o office_n to_o preach_v and_o to_o rule_n be_v inconsistent_a and_o can_v be_v well_o manage_v by_o any_o one_o man_n as_o shall_v appear_v by_o and_o by_o 6_o yea_o the_o bishop_n must_v not_o only_o lay_v aside_o his_o office_n of_o preach_v but_o i_o say_v further_o that_o his_o office_n of_o preach_v be_v mere_o superfluous_a to_o preach_v as_o a_o bishop_n of_o a_o diocese_n if_o he_o will_v be_v a_o preacher_n to_o a_o particular_a congregation_n there_o may_v be_v good_a use_n of_o he_o but_o none_o as_o a_o bishop_n for_o 1_o he_o have_v no_o particular_a flock_n to_o feed_v or_o congregation_n to_o preach_v unto_o for_o every_o congregation_n have_v a_o minister_n of_o their_o own_o to_o preach_v unto_o they_o nor_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o he_o to_o preach_v to_o every_o parish_n in_o his_o diocese_n 2_o if_o he_o will_v make_v his_o cathedral_n church_n to_o be_v his_o particular_a flock_n yet_o there_o his_o preach_n be_v also_o superfluous_a for_o first_o cathedral_n church_n be_v in_o city_n now_o in_o city_n there_o be_v many_o parish_n and_o minister_n and_o if_o people_n repair_v every_o one_o to_o his_o own_o minister_n what_o need_n be_v there_o but_o of_o one_o sermon_n in_o a_o day_n at_o the_o cathedral_n 2_o the_o cathedral_n be_v supply_v for_o a_o single_a sermon_n once_o in_o the_o sunday_n morning_n not_o by_o the_o bishop_n but_o by_o a_o combination_n of_o minister_n choose_v out_o of_o the_o diocese_n and_o so_o it_o may_v be_v still_o continue_v if_o there_o be_v necessity_n for_o a_o sermon_n in_o the_o cathedral_n and_o then_o the_o bishop_n sermon_n will_v be_v superfluous_a though_o he_o will_v preach_v every_o sunday_n once_o now_o let_v it_o be_v take_v into_o consideration_n if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o lavish_a and_o superfluous_a reward_n to_o allow_v a_o bishop_n two_o or_o three_o thousand_o a_o year_n for_o his_o preach_n when_o as_o it_o be_v superfluous_a or_o if_o he_o shall_v preach_v fifty_o sermon_n in_o a_o year_n be_v not_o two_o thousand_o a_o lavish_a reward_n for_o he_o have_v a_o thousand_o pound_n for_o a_o sermon_n if_o he_o preach_v but_o twice_o or_o thrice_o in_o a_o year_n or_o about_o fifty_o pound_n if_o the_o preach_v fifty_o sermon_n in_o a_o year_n but_o it_o will_v be_v say_v he_o rule_v also_o answer_n but_z 1_o he_o rule_v partial_o 2_o he_o hole_v two_o office_n inconsistent_a 3_o he_o usurp_v 4_o christ_n forbid_v it_o and_o so_o he_o deserve_v no_o reward_n for_o rule_v 7._o yet_o further_o 1_o we_o ought_v by_o god_n word_n to_o have_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v in_o my_o book_n of_o this_o title_n 2._o the_o king_n out_o of_o his_o gracious_a compassion_n to_o tender_a conscience_n have_v proffer_v it_o in_o his_o declaration_n more_o than_o once_o now_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o office_n of_o jurisdiction_n in_o a_o bishop_n be_v needless_a and_o useless_a for_o first_o bishop_n be_v wont_a to_o persecute_v and_o punish_v conscientious_a man_n for_o refuse_v the_o cross_n and_o surplice_n and_o for_o work_v on_o the_o popish_a holiday_n etc._n etc._n but_o if_o we_o have_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n the_o learned_a bish_n must_v spare_v his_o wicked_a persecution_n there_o will_v be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o bishop_n jurisdiction_n 2._o there_o be_v many_o controversall_a point_n about_o religion_n in_o our_o church_n which_o be_v point_n disputable_a ought_v not_o to_o be_v punish_v by_o the_o bishop_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v in_o my_o book_n of_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o bishop_n jurisdiction_n 3._o for_o matter_n of_o heresy_n be_v it_o be_v only_o in_o fundamental_o &_o every_o thing_n about_o a_o fundamental_a be_v not_o fundamental_a but_o something_o may_v be_v disputable_a such_o point_n shall_v not_o be_v punish_v by_o the_o bishop_n because_o they_o be_v disputable_a and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o bishop_n jurisdiction_n 4._o i_o hold_v no_o point_n for_o fundamental_a but_o such_o as_o be_v clear_o lay_v down_o in_o scripture_n now_o where_o will_v you_o find_v a_o christian_n to_o deny_v such_o a_o point_n and_o therefore_o no_o need_n of_o a_o bishop_n jurisdiction_n to_o punish_v it_o but_o suppose_v there_o be_v find_v one_o or_o two_o such_o heretic_n in_o our_o whole_a kingdom_n what_o necessity_n be_v there_o for_o every_o bishop_n in_o the_o kingdom_n to_o have_v two_o or_o three_o thousand_o a_o year_n to_o punish_v that_o one_o heretic_n who_o live_v but_o in_o the_o diocese_n of_o one_o bishop_n may_v not_o ten_o or_o twelve_o minister_n be_v appoint_v for_o this_o end_n in_o every_o diocese_n and_o so_o save_v that_o money_n so_o you_o still_o see_v it_o be_v needless_a to_o have_v a_o bishop_n use_v jurisdiction_n 8._o yet_o again_o be_v the_o magistrate_n punish_v all_o matter_n of_o fact_n as_o adultery_n murder_n robbery_n drunkenness_n and_o many_o other_o there_o be_v no_o need_n at_o all_o for_o a_o bishop_n jurisdiction_n to_o punish_v adultery_n with_o excommunication_n shall_v adultery_n be_v twice_o punish_v once_o by_o the_o magistrate_n and_o then_o again_o by_o the_o bishop_n this_o be_v double_a punishment_n for_o a_o single_a sin_n which_o be_v injustice_n wherefore_o a_o bishop_n jurisdiction_n be_v superfluous_a but_o it_o will_v be_v say_v that_o heresy_n be_v no_o matter_n of_o fact_n but_o of_o opinion_n and_o therefore_o the_o bishop_n must_v punish_v it_o i_o answer_v the_o magistrate_n must_v punish_v it_o not_o the_o bishop_n for_o the_o bishop_n deliver_v the_o heretic_n over_o to_o the_o secular_a power_n for_o punishment_n wherefore_o jurisdiction_n be_v superfluous_a in_o a_o bishop_n and_o further_o be_v the_o magistrate_n punish_v all_o manner_n of_o sin_n with_o a_o full_a and_o sufficient_a punishment_n suitable_a to_o the_o demerit_n of_o the_o sin_n it_o must_v be_v a_o act_n of_o injustice_n in_o a_o bishop_n to_o punish_v any_o with_o excommunication_n afterward_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o justice_n in_o a_o magistrate_n to_o punish_v sin_n but_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o injustice_n and_o a_o sinful_a act_n in_o a_o bishop_n to_o punish_v any_o and_o therefore_o a_o bishop_n jurisdiction_n be_v needless_a 9_o a_o bishop_n will_v be_v a_o magistrate_n in_o the_o church_n to_o punish_v scandalous_a sin_n and_o yet_o have_v but_o one_o salve_n for_o every_o sore_a and_o but_o one_o last_o for_o every_o foot_n the_o which_o be_v too_o big_a for_o some_o foot_n and_o too_o little_a for_o many_o he_o have_v but_o that_o one_o punishment_n of_o excommunication_n for_o all_o manner_n of_o sin_n for_o the_o least_o and_o for_o the_o great_a adultery_n and_o fornication_n the_o one_o of_o these_o great_a the_o other_o lesser_a and_o the_o bishop_n punish_v both_o alike_o with_o excommunication_n for_o a_o man_n to_o commit_v adultery_n and_o for_o a_o minister_n to_o refuse_v the_o cross_n and_o surplice_n or_o for_o people_n to_o work_v or_o to_o open_v a_o shop_n on_o a_o popish_a holiday_n though_o these_o latter_a be_v no_o sin_n yet_o the_o bishop_n punish_v all_o these_o alike_o with_o excommunication_n what_o abominable_a injustice_n be_v this_o yet_o further_o be_v excommunication_n a_o punishment_n great_a enough_o for_o the_o most_o horrid_a blasphemy_n against_o god_n 1._o for_o a_o son_n to_o kill_v his_o father_n or_o a_o subject_a to_o murder_v his_o king_n the_o magistrate_n have_v variety_n of_o punishment_n some_o great_a some_o

as_o shall_v be_v prove_v by_o and_o by_o 7._o if_o a_o bishop_n shall_v exercise_v jurisdiction_n he_o shall_v hold_v two_o office_n which_o be_v inconsistent_a the_o one_o destroy_v the_o other_o

how_o can_v he_o give_v a_o commission_n to_o that_o thing_n wherein_o he_o have_v no_o right_a a_o man_n can_v give_v a_o house_n or_o land_n unless_o he_o first_o have_v a_o right_n himself_o in_o they_o against_o bishop_n hold_v their_o office_n jure_fw-la humano_fw-la from_o the_o king_n and_o if_o they_o relinquish_v their_o jus_o divinum_fw-la and_o derive_v their_o authority_n from_o the_o king_n then_z quere_z if_o it_o be_v not_o more_o safe_a to_o put_v jurisdiction_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o magistrate_n then_o of_o the_o bishop_n for_o this_o first_o if_o the_o king_n will_v give_v the_o office_n of_o jurisdiction_n unto_o a_o bishop_n yet_o he_o may_v not_o take_v and_o exercise_v it_o because_o christ_n have_v forbid_v it_o mat._n 20_o 25._o and_o 1_o pet._n 5_o 3._o and_o further_o in_o my_o book_n for_o the_o king_n supremacy_n i_o have_v prove_v by_o many_o argument_n that_o jurisdiction_n belong_v to_o the_o magistrate_n but_o none_o to_o a_o bishop_n or_o minister_n wherefore_o it_o be_v lawful_a in_o a_o magistrate_n but_o sinful_a in_o a_o bishop_n to_o use_v jurisdiction_n 2_o if_o a_o bishop_n will_v derive_v his_o authority_n from_o the_o king_n yet_o it_o be_v against_o our_o public_a oath_n and_o covenant_n to_o maintain_v bishop_n and_o will_v bishop_n be_v so_o wicked_a as_o to_o force_v we_o to_o be_v forswear_a by_o compel_v we_o unto_o subjection_n unto_o they_o and_o to_o their_o jurisdiction_n what_o a_o dreadful_a account_n shall_v bishop_n have_v to_o make_v to_o god_n who_o for_o lucre_n gain_n and_o honour_n will_v force_v many_o thousand_o to_o live_v in_o the_o sin_n of_o perjury_n all_o their_o life_n long_o be_v it_o not_o better_o then_o for_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n to_o put_v all_o jurisdiction_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o magistrate_n who_o we_o can_v cheerful_o and_o with_o a_o quiet_a conscience_n obey_v then_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o bishop_n who_o we_o can_v obey_v with_o a_o good_a

any_o magistrate_n in_o his_o consistory_n he_o exalt_v himself_o above_o one_o that_o be_v call_v god_n 2_o thes_n 2_o 4._o ps_n 8_o 26._o now_o it_o be_v better_a to_o make_v the_o king_n a_o

the_o king_n than_o he_o must_v disclaim_v and_o renounce_v his_o former_a title_n and_o office_n of_o jus_o divinum_fw-la and_o also_o his_o right_n to_o st_n peter_n key_n with_o all_o other_o scripture_n allege_v to_o prove_v their_o divine_a right_n to_o a_o bishopric_n and_o must_v be_v content_a with_o a_o humane_a right_n from_o the_o king_n to_o hold_v their_o commission_n from_o god_n and_o the_o king_n both_o as_o to_o say_v it_o be_v of_o god_n and_o by_o the_o king_n this_o can_v be_v for_o 1._o to_o hold_v their_o commission_n from_o god_n it_o be_v false_a divinity_n as_o be_v prove_v in_o my_o book_n of_o the_o king_n supremacy_n and_o further_o i_o say_v bishop_n can_v prove_v by_o the_o scripture_n that_o their_o office_n of_o jurisdiction_n be_v of_o god_n as_o shall_v appear_v by_o &_o by_o 2_o it_o be_v against_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o king_n by_o deny_v his_o supremacy_n as_o be_v prove_v in_o my_o book_n 3_o if_o they_o hold_v a_o commission_n
