concerning_o the_o bishop_n and_o their_o call_n they_o challenge_v their_o calling_n to_o be_v iure_fw-la divino_fw-la and_o for_o the_o oppugn_n of_o which_o those_o there_o renown_v live_a martyr_n of_o the_o lord_n doctor_n bastwick_n master_n burton_n and_o master_n prin_n do_v suffer_v in_o this_o place_n and_o they_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o their_o call_n be_v not_o from_o god_n which_o man_n i_o love_v and_o honour_n and_o do_v persuade_v myself_o that_o their_o soul_n be_v dear_a and_o precious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n though_o they_o be_v so_o cruel_o and_o butcherly_a deal_v with_o by_o the_o prelate_n and_o as_o for_o master_n burton_n and_o master_n prin_n they_o be_v worthy_a and_o learned_a man_n but_o yet_o do_v not_o in_o many_o thing_n write_v so_o full_o as_o the_o doctor_n do_v who_o have_v sufficient_o and_o plentiful_o set_v forth_o the_o wickedness_n both_o of_o the_o prelate_n themselves_o and_o of_o their_o calling_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o his_o book_n that_o they_o be_v not_o jure_fw-la divino_fw-la which_o noble_a and_o reverend_a doctor_n i_o love_v with_o my_o soul_n and_o as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n that_o stand_v for_o the_o truth_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n my_o very_a life_n and_o heartblood_n i_o will_v lay_v down_o for_o his_o honour_n and_o the_o maintain_n of_o his_o cause_n for_o which_o he_o suffer_v it_o be_v god_n cause_n as_o for_o the_o bishop_n they_o use_v in_o former_a time_n to_o challenge_v their_o jurisdiction_n calling_n and_o power_n from_o the_o king_n but_o they_o have_v now_o open_o in_o the_o high_a commission_n court_n renounce_v that_o as_o be_v hear_v by_o many_o at_o the_o censure_n of_o that_o noble_a doctor_n and_o as_o you_o may_v full_o read_v in_o his_o apologettcus_n and_o in_o his_o answer_n to_o sir_n john_n bank_n his_o information_n now_o i_o will_v here_o maintain_v it_o before_o they_o all_o that_o their_o calling_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v jure_fw-la

but_o my_o brethren_n for_o your_o better_a satisfaction_n read_v the_o 9_o and_o 13._o chapter_n of_o the_o revelation_n and_o there_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o there_o come_v locust_n out_o of_o
