therefore_o he_o must_v remove_v that_o knowledge_n because_o he_o be_v come_v to_o it_o of_o his_o own_o wrong_n &_o agein_v the_o order_n of_o the_o law_n &_o even_o so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o

be_v not_o like_a to_o this_o case_n for_o in_o that_o case_n of_o appeal_n the_o verdict_n be_v of_o record_n in_o the_o same_o court_n and_o it_o be_v give_v by_o auctorite_n of_o the_o same_o law_n that_o he_o sit_v as_o iuge_a to_o iuge_v upon_o &_o it_o be_v also_o try_v after_o the_o order_n of_o the_o same_o law_n so_o that_o upon_o that_o matter_n there_o be_v no_o ferth_a trial_n wherefore_o i_o agree_v well_o that_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v take_v there_o any_o new_a examination_n but_o in_o this_o case_n the_o sentence_n be_v give_v in_o a_o other_o court_n and_o after_o another_o law_n than_o the_o chancellor_n be_v set_v to_o judge_v upon_o for_o he_o be_v set_v to_o judge_v after_o conscience_n and_o not_o only_o after_o the_o order_n of_o the_o law_n spiritual_a nor_o temporal_a but_o in_o few_o case_n and_o also_o the_o process_n of_o excommunication_n be_v to_o punish_v sin_n and_o to_o maintain_v virtue_n but_o what_o punysshement_n of_o sin_n and_o mayntenaunce_n of_o virtue_n be_v it_o if_o the_o king_n keep_v he_o that_o be_v no_o offender_n in_o prysone_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v the_o king_n or_o his_o chancellor_n may_v well_o take_v a_o new_a examination_n in_o the_o matter_n and_o do_v thereafter_o bis_n i_o feel_v thy_o conceit_n well_o but_o yet_o sure_o if_o such_o examination_n be_v use_v hit_v will_v be_v think_v by_o many_o that_o the_o spiritual_a jurisdiction_n be_v thereby_o great_o confound_v and_o that_o the_o king_n and_o his_o law_n do_v littel_v in_o favour_n of_o it_o salem_n i_o see_v well_o thou_o

stycke_v so_o moche_v upon_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o examination_n of_o the_o matter_n be_v of_o the_o same_o effect_n the_o second_o be_v if_o the_o parlyament_fw-mi do_v put_v clere_o away_o the_o wrytte_n of_o excommunicato_fw-la capiendo_fw-la and_o leave_v the_o matter_n in_o such_o case_n that_o the_o ordinary_n shall_v justify_v all_o excommunicate_n by_o the_o censure_n of_o the_o church_n in_o the_o best_a manner_n they_o coude_fw-fr without_o any_o help_n of_o the_o king_n or_o of_o his_o law_n shall_v the_o parlyament_n thereby_o do_v any_o wrong_n to_o the_o key_n

but_o yet_o it_o shall_v break_v a_o good_a laudable_a custom_n of_o the_o realm_n that_o be_v first_o begin_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o clerge_n &_o of_o the_o spiritual_a jurisdiction_n sal._n thou_o sayste_v even_o truth_n and_o my_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o i_o will_v have_v that_o custom_n break_v but_o that_o it_o shall_v appear_v that_o though_o hit_v be_v break_v that_o yet_o no_o man_n have_v cause_n to_o complain_v as_o though_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o church_n be_v thereby_o brokin_n or_o the_o key_n violate_v wherefore_o i_o think_v it_o more_o expedient_a for_o the_o clergy_n to_o take_v this_o matter_n as_o it_o be_v that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o king_n and_o his_o law_n be_v as_o well_o content_a to_o have_v such_o rebel_n as_o have_v deserve_v punishment_n &_o yet_o will_v not_o obey_v the_o key_n of_o the_o church_n correctio_fw-la as_o they_o be_v but_o yet_o that_o the_o king_n &_o his_o law_n shall_v therefore_o in_o any_o case_n be_v compel_v whether_o they_o will_v or_o not_o to_o punish_v a_o innocent_a it_o be_v not_o reasonable_a &_o thus_o it_o shall_v seem_v to_o be_v the_o more_o indifferent_a way_n &_o more_o accord_v with_o justice_n that_o the_o matter_n be_v examine_v before_o the_o king_n &_o that_o if_o it_o appear_v thereupon_o that_o the_o party_n offend_v not_o that_o he_o be_v deliverid_fw-la out_o of_o prison_n &_o that_o the_o order_n of_o the_o excommunication_n be_v thereupon_o leave_v to_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o bishop_n they_o to_o charge_v the_o king_n conscience_n or_o his_o chancellor_n either_o with_o keep_a of_o he_o in_o prison_n and_o then_o to_o that_o thou_o have_v say_v before_o that_o if_o such_o excommunication_n be_v take_v that_o it_o will_v be_v think_v by_o many_o that_o the_o king_n &_o his_o

the_o king_n will_v judge_v upon_o simony_n and_o usury_n thynke_v thou_o that_o he_o shall_v offend_v the_o key_n byzance_n i_o think_v so_o for_o symonye_n and_o usurye_n be_v prohibit_v by_o the_o

of_o god_n yet_o that_o prove_v not_o that_o princis_fw-la may_v not_o therefore_o hold_v ple_n thereof_o for_o take_v away_o of_o a_o other_o man_n good_n and_o also_o perjury_n be_v prohibyte_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o prince_n hold_v plea_n thereof_o and_o though_o symonye_n and_o usurye_n be_v prohibit_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o declare_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n what_o be_v simony_n and_o usery_n and_o what_o not_o and_o it_o seem_v that_o princis_fw-la take_v to_o they_o spiritual_a man_n as_o their_o counsellor_n may_v do_v that_o well_o enough_o
