to_o the_o honourable_a house_n of_o parliament_n now_o assemble_v the_o humble_a petition_n of_o many_o of_o the_o inhabitant_n within_o his_o majesty_n county_n of_o kent_n most_o humble_o show_v that_o by_o sad_a experience_n we_o do_v daily_o find_v the_o government_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n by_o archbishop_n bishop_n dean_n and_o arch-deacon_n with_o their_o court_n jurisd●ctions_n and_o administration_n by_o they_o and_o their_o inferior_a officer_n to_o be_v very_o dangerous_a both_o to_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n to_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o manifold_a grievance_n unto_o his_o majesty_n subject_n in_o their_o conscience_n liberty_n and_o estate_n and_o likely_a to_o be_v fatal_a unto_o we_o in_o the_o continuance_n thereof_o the_o dangerous_a effect_n of_o which_o lordly_a power_n in_o they_o have_v often_o appear_v in_o these_o particular_n follow_v 1._o they_o do_v with_o a_o hard_a hand_n over-rule_v all_o other_o minister_n subject_v they_o to_o their_o cruel_a authority_n 2._o they_o do_v suspend_v and_o deprive_v many_o godly_a religion_n and_o painful_a minister_n upon_o slight_n and_o upon_o no_o ground_n while_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n few_o of_o they_o preach_v the_o word_n of_o god_n themselves_o and_o that_o but_o seldom_o but_o they_o do_v restrain_v the_o painful_a preach_n of_o other_o both_o for_o lecture_n and_o for_o afternoon_n sermon_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n 3._o they_o do_v countenance_n and_o have_v of_o late_o encourage_v papist_n priest_n and_o arminian_n book_n and_o person_n 4._o they_o

church_n with_o popish_a picture_n and_o seat_v they_o with_o romish_a altar_n 6._o they_o have_v of_o late_o extol_v and_o commend_v much_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n deny_v the_o pope_n to_o be_v antichrist_n affirm_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o be_v a_o true_a church_n in_o fundamental_n 7._o they_o have_v practise_v and_o enforce_v antiquate_v and_o obsolete_a ceremony_n as_o stand_v at_o all_o hymn_n and_o at_o gloriapatri_fw-la turn_v to_o the_o east_n at_o several_a part_n of_o the_o divine_a service_n bow_v to_o the_o altar_n which_o they_o term_v the_o place_n of_o god_n residence_n upon_o earth_n the_o read_n of_o a_o second_o service_n at_o the_o altar_n and_o deny_v the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n to_o such_o as_o have_v not_o come_v up_o to_o the_o new_a set_v rail_v before_o the_o altar_n 8._o they_o have_v make_v and_o confirm_v new_a illegal_a canon_n and_o constitution_n and_o frame_v a_o most_o pernicious_a and_o desperate_a oath_n a_o oath_n of_o covenant_n and_o confederacy_n for_o their_o own_o hierarchical_a greatness_n beside_o many_o other_o very_o dangerous_a and_o pernicious_a passage_n in_o the_o say_a canon_n 9_o they_o do_v dispense_v with_o plurality_n of_o benefice_n they_o do_v both_o prohibit_v and_o grant_v marriage_n neither_o of_o they_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o law_n or_o conscience_n but_o do_v prohibit_v that_o they_o may_v grant_v and_o grant_v that_o they_o may_v have_v money_n 10._o they_o have_v procure_v a_o licentious_a liberty_n for_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o have_v press_v the_o strict_a observation_n of_o the_o saint_n holiday_n and_o do_v punish_v suspend_v and_o deprive_v godly_a minister_n for_o not_o publish_v that_o book_n for_o liberty_n of_o sport_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n 11._o they_o do_v general_o abuse_v the_o great_a ordinance_n of_o excommunication_n make_v a_o great_a ga●e_n of_o it_o sometime_o to_o the_o great_a discomfort_n of_o many_o poor_a soul_n who_o for_o want_n of_o money_n can_v get_v no_o absolution_n 12._o they_o claim_v their_o office_n and_o jurisdiction_n to_o be_v jure_fw-la divino_fw-la and_o do_v exercise_v the_o same_o contrary_a to_o law_n in_o their_o own_o name_n and_o under_o their_o own_o seal_n 13._o they_o receive_v and_o take_v upon_o they_o temporal_a honour_n dignity_n place_n and_o office_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n as_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o use_v both_o sword_n 14._o they_o cognizance_n in_o their_o court_n and_o elsewhere_o of_o matter_n determinable_a at_o the_o common-law_n 15._o they_o put_v minister_n upon_o parish_n without_o the_o patron_n and_o without_o the_o people_n consent_n 16._o they_o do_v yearly_o impose_v oath_n upon_o churchwarden_n to_o the_o most_o apparent_a danger_n of_o fill_v the_o land_n with_o perjury_n 17._o they_o do_v exercise_v oath_n ex_fw-la officio_fw-la in_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o inquisition_n even_o unto_o the_o thought_n of_o man_n 18._o they_o have_v apprehend_v man_n by_o pursuivant_n without_o citation_n or_o missive_n first_o send_v they_o break_v up_o man_n house_n and_o study_n take_v away_o what_o they_o please_v 19_o they_o do_v awe_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o land_n with_o their_o greatness_n to_o the_o inhibit_n of_o prohibition_n and_o hinder_v of_o habeas_fw-la corpus_fw-la when_o it_o be_v due_a 20._o they_o be_v strong_o suspect_v to_o be_v confederate_v with_o the_o roman_a party_n in_o this_o land_n and_o with_o they_o to_o be_v author_n contriver_n or_o consenter_n to_o the_o present_a commotion_n in_o the_o north_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o of_o a_o contribution_n by_o the_o clergy_n and_o by_o the_o papist_n in_o the_o last_o year_n 1639._o and_o because_o of_o a_o ill-named_a benevolence_n of_o six_o subsidy_n

therefore_o our_o humble_a and_o earnest_a prayer_n that_o all_o this_o hierarchical_a power_n may_v be_v total_o abrogate_a if_o the_o wisdom_n of_o this_o honourable_a house_n shall_v find_v that_o it_o can_v be_v maintain_v by_o god_n word_n and_o to_o his_o glory_n and_o your_o petitioner_n shall_v ever_o pray_v etc._n etc._n print_v in_o the_o year_n 1641._o
