evermore_o i_o very_o believe_v that_o if_o every_o presbyterian_a priest_n or_o independent_a be_v leave_v to_o do_v what_o they_o will_v we_o shall_v have_v more_o domineer_a and_o disturbance_n in_o the_o church_n then_o ever_o there_o be_v since_o the_o church_n be_v first_o build_v up_o in_o england_n what_o will_v you_o have_v then_o will_v you_o have_v bishop_n which_o have_v breed_v all_o this_o broil_n among_o we_o ye●_n provide_v that_o their_o lordly_a dignity_n may_v be_v eclipse_v and_o preach_v bishop_n put_v in_o their_o room_n not_o to_o have_v a_o high_a commission_n court_v little_a inferior_a to_o the_o inquisition_n of_o spain_n nor_o meddle_v with_o temporal_a affair_n but_o to_o preach_v the_o word_n of_o god_n sound_o plain_o and_o powerful_o to_o root_v out_o heresy_n and_o error_n out_o of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n like_o a_o man_n of_o knowledge_n who_o shall_v choose_v these_o good_a man_n nor_o their_o rich_a kindred_n nor_o the_o king_n nor_o

of_o england_n and_o i_o think_v as_o long_o as_o you_o keep_v the_o ark_n of_o god_n from_o we_o i_o mean_v the_o service_n book_n you_o will_v ever_o have_v swell_n and_o emrods_z among_o you_o i_o be_o no_o prophet_n nor_o the_o son_n of_o a_o prophet_n but_o i_o pray_v god_n in_o his_o mercy_n keep_v you_o from_o these_o plague_n which_o hang_v over_o your_o head_n for_o leave_v so_o many_o
