make_v they_o obtain_v a_o statute_n in_o king_n edward_n day_n to_o keep_v their_o court_n by_o in_o the_o king_n name_n now_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a allegation_n that_o the_o bishop_n shall_v claim_v authority_n at_o this_o present_a to_o keep_v their_o court_n in_o their_o own_o name_n as_o they_o do_v by_o prescription_n because_o the_o statute_n of_o 25._o do_v restrain_v they_o general_o from_o offend_v of_o the_o prerogative_n royal_a of_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n and_o the_o law_n and_o custom_n of_o the_o realm_n and_o no_o man_n may_v just_o keep_v a_o court_n without_o out_o a_o special_a warrant_n from_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n as_o be_v aforesaid_a and_o the_o general_a liberty_n give_v by_o king_n henry_n the_o 8_o to_o the_o bishop_n to_o rule_v
