and_o that_o i_o be_o in_o either_o of_o those_o capacity_n that_o the_o statute_n primo_fw-la or_o quinto_fw-la eliz._n mention_n i_o will_v take_v they_o but_o i_o know_v you_o can_v a._n and_o b._n well_o will_v you_o put_v that_o answer_n under_o your_o hand_n and_o so_o tender_a mr._n p._n paper_n p._n i_o be_o free_a to_o put_v it_o under_o my_o hand_n but_o you_o may_v if_o you_o please_v return_v my_o answer_n if_o you_o must_v return_v any_o at_o all_o but_o sir_n john_n a._n and_o the_o doctor_n can_v not_o agree_v in_o that_o particular_a how_o mr._n p._n shall_v do_v it_o b._n but_o we_o have_v power_n to_o give_v that_o oath_n to_o you_o p._n sir_n if_o you_o have_v i_o say_v again_o i_o will_v take_v it_o therefore_o peruse_v that_o statute_n so_o sir_n john_n a._n look_v into_o the_o statute_n and_o speak_v somewhat_o to_o the_o doctor_n private_o which_o seem_v by_o the_o drs._n answer_n to_o he_o be_v that_o they_o can_v not_o for_o the_o drs._n answer_n be_v but_o we_o can_v b._n but_o why_o be_v not_o you_o bind_v as_o well_o as_o other_o p._n because_o that_o the_o statute_n direct_v the_o oath_n to_o be_v take_v by_o officer_n ecclesiastical_a and_o civil_a and_o such_o as_o be_v to_o receive_v public_a profit_n and_o other_o person_n mention_v both_o in_o that_o and_o the_o other_o statute_n of_o the_o five_o of_o elizabeth_n and_o though_o i_o may_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o ecclesiastical_a person_n yet_o it_o appertain_v to_o the_o bishop_n to_o give_v it_o i_o b._n be_v you_o a_o minister_n ordain_v p._n i_o have_v heretofore_o tell_v you_o

by_o such_o man_n as_o he_o have_v appoint_v b._n come_v come_v your_o conscience_n tell_v you_o that_o you_o care_v for_o a_o bishop_n no_o more_o than_o another_o man_n p._n that_o be_v true_a

veral_a other_o word_n the_o doctor_n urge_v mr._n powel_n again_o p._n if_o you_o must_v have_v yet_o a_o more_o positive_a answer_n since_o you_o will_v neither_o let_v i_o see_v the_o order_n require_v i_o to_o take_v they_o nor_o show_v i_o that_o the_o law_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v your_o rule_n do_v impose_v they_o upon_o i_o though_o i_o do_v not_o absolute_o and_o peremptory_o refuse_v they_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o take_v they_o now_o b._n here_o dr._n b._n interrupt_v mr._n p._n in_o his_o speech_n and_o cry_v out_o to_o some_o present_a to_o bear_v witness_n that_o he_o say_v he_o will_v not_o take_v they_o thereupon_o one_o in_o the_o room_n say_v i_o do_v bear_v witness_n p._n sir_n say_v he_o to_o the_o dr._n you_o deal_v very_o disingenious_o to_o catch_v at_o advantage_n when_o none_o be_v give_v and_o to_o abstract_n and_o separate_v my_o word_n and_o sir_n say_v he_o to_o the_o other_o man_n you_o be_v also_o very_o uncivil_a to_o bear_v witness_n before_o you_o hear_v i_o out_o and_o so_o mr._n powel_n turn_v he_o to_o sir_n john_n a._n and_o say_v i_o desire_v you_o will_v both_o hear_v and_o observe_v what_o i_o say_v and_o intend_v to_o
