of_o the_o common_a law_n for_o the_o very_a church_n of_o england_n seem_v to_o be_v of_o this_o opinion_n for_o in_o our_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n no_o more_o be_v allow_v to_o bishop_n in_o

and_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n with_o true_a knowledge_n and_o understanding_n of_o thy_o word_n that_o both_o by_o their_o preach_n and_o live_v they_o may_v set_v it_o forth_o and_o show_v it_o according_o wherein_o nothing_o be_v mention_v but_o their_o knowledge_n of_o god_n word_n their_o good_a life_n and_o doctrine_n the_o next_o prayer_n for_o they_o be_v after_o the_o prayer_n for_o the_o king_n and_o his_o child_n in_o these_o word_n that_o god_n will_v send_v down_o upon_o all_o our_o bishop_n and_o curate_n and_o all_o congregation_n commit_v to_o their_o charge_n the_o

the_o main_a thing_n which_o we_o pray_v for_o they_o on_o their_o behalf_n the_o last_o be_v in_o the_o prayer_n for_o the_o militant_a church_n in_o these_o word_n give_v grace_n o_o heavenly_a father_n to_o all_o bishop_n pastor_n and_o curate_n that_o they_o may_v both_o by_o their_o life_n and_o doctrine_n set_v forth_o thy_o true_a and_o lively_a word_n and_o right_o and_o due_o

two_o argument_n in_o parliament_n the_o first_o concern_v the_o cannon_n the_o second_o concern_v the_o praemunire_n upon_o those_o cannon_n by_o edward_n bagshawe_n esquire_n london_n print_v by_o

that_o they_o be_v not_o well_o create_v by_o any_o of_o the_o king_n writ_n or_o commission_n to_o enable_v they_o to_o make_v cannon_n which_o be_v not_o make_v in_o a_o convocation_n or_o in_o a_o

no_o warrant_n or_o authority_n to_o do_v as_o they_o do_v 3._o the_o matter_n contain_v in_o the_o say_a cannon_n be_v against_o the_o fundamental_a law_n and_o statute_n of_o the_o realm_n in_o

that_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v be_v that_o the_o clergy_n neither_o since_o nor_o before_o the_o sta._n of_o 25._o hen._n 8._o cap._n 19_o can_v ever_o make_v cannon_n and_o

the_o difference_n be_v from_o the_o grant_n of_o emperor_n and_o king_n who_o have_v give_v conusans_a of_o this_o to_o the_o ecclesiastical_a judge_n and_o of_o the_o former_a to_o the_o temporal_a and_o the_o true_a reason_n why_o emperor_n and_o king_n in_o this_o first_o age_n have_v the_o conusans_a of_o all_o cause_n whatsoever_o as_o belong_v to_o their_o temporal_a court_n be_v for_o
