government_n of_o the_o state_n every_o man_n can_v say_v it_o be_v so_o common_a and_o know_v a_o truch_n that_o sudden_a and_o great_a change_n both_o in_o natural_a and_o politic_a body_n have_v dangerous_a operation_n and_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v that_o we_o can_v present_o see_v to_o the_o end_n of_o such_o a_o consequence_n especial_o in_o so_o great_a a_o kingdom_n as_o this_o and_o where_o episcopacy_n be_v so_o wrap_v dane_a involve_v in_o the_o law_n of_o it_o wherefore_o master_n speaker_n my_o humble_a motion_n be_v that_o we_o may_v punish_v the_o present_a offender_n reduce_v and_o preserve_v the_o call_v for_o better_a man_n hereafter_o let_v we_o remember_v with_o fresh_a thankfulness_n to_o god_n those_o glorious_a martyr_n bishop_n who_o be_v burn_v for_o our_o religion_n in_o the_o time_n of_o popery_n who_o by_o their_o learning_n zeal_n and_o constancle_v uphold_v and_o convey_v it_o down_o to_o we_o we_o have_v some_o good_a bishop_n still_o who_o do_v preach_v every_o lord_n day_n and_o be_v therefore_o worthy_a of_o double_a honour_n they_o have_v suffer_v enough_o already_o in_o the_o disease_n i_o shall_v be_v forry_a we_o shall_v make_v they_o suffer_v more_o in_o the_o remedy_n concern_v bishop_n dean_n and_o chapter_n at_o a_o committee_n of_o the_o whole_a house_n by_o sir_n benjamin_n rudyerd_v m._n hyde_n we_o be_v now_o upon_o a_o very_a great_a business_n so_o great_a indeed_o as_o it_o require_v our_o sound_a our_o sad_a consideration_n our_o best_a judgement_n for_o the_o present_a our_o utmost_a foresight_n for_o the_o futuer_n but_o sir_n one_o thing_n do_v exceed_o trouble_v i_o it_o turn_v i_o quite_o round_o it_o make_v my_o whole_a reason_n vertiginous_a which_o be_v that_o so_o many_o do_v believe_v against_o the_o wisdom_n of_o all_o age_n that_o now_o there_o can_v he_o no_o reformation_n without_o destruction_n as_o if_o every_o sick_a body_n must_v present_o be_v knock_v in_o the_o head_n as_o past_a hope_n of_o cure_n religion_n be_v first_o and_o best_a plant_v in_o city_n god_n do_v spread_v his_o net_n where_o most_o may_v be_v catch_v city_n have_v bishop_n and_o presbyter_n presbyter_n be_v the_o seminary_n out_o of_o which_o be_v send_v labourer_n by_o the_o bishop_n to_o propagate_v and_o cultivate_v the_o gospel_n the_o clergy_n then_o live_v whole_o upon_o the_o free-will-offering_n and_o bounty_n of_o the_o people_n afterward_o when_o king_n and_o state_n grow_v to_o be_v christian_n the_o outward_a settlement_n of_o the_o church_n grow_v up_o with_o they_o they_o erect_v

have_v still_o a_o right_n of_o presentation_n i_o do_v confess_v that_o some_o bishop_n have_v have_v ambitious_a dangerous_a aim_n and_o have_v so_o still_o that_o in_o their_o government_n there_o be_v very_o great_a enormity_n etc._n regeneration_n do_v neither_o destroy_v the_o man_n nor_o the_o faculty_n but_o do_v rectify_v and_o reform_v they_o so_o the_o call_n of_o bishop_n may_v etc._n etc._n but_o i_o be_o not_o of_o their_o opinion_n who_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o innate_a ill_a quality_n in_o episcopacy_n like_o a_o specifical_a property_n which_o be_v a_o refuge_n not_o a_o reason_n i_o hope_v there_o be_v no_o original_a sin_n in_o episcopacy_n and_o though_o there_o be_v yet_o may_v the_o call_v be_v aswell_o reform_v as_o the_o person_n regenerate_v bishop_n

the_o call_n i_o love_v not_o those_o that_o hate_v to_o be_v reform_v and_o do_v therefore_o think_v they_o worthy_a of_o the_o more_o strict_a the_o more_o close_a reformation_n we_o have_v often_o
