say_v to_o be_v annex_v to_o the_o crown_n and_o derive_v from_o thence_o and_o this_o only_o be_v the_o intent_n of_o those_o statute_n which_o annex_v the_o ecclesiastical_a jurisdiction_n to_o the_o crown_n which_o notwithstanding_o it_o may_v true_o be_v affirm_v that_o the_o bishop_n have_v their_o function_n and_o jurisdiction_n for_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v mere_o

belong_v to_o they_o by_o divine_a right_n or_o otherwise_o than_o by_o the_o favour_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o his_o predecessor_n he_o make_v they_o as_o absurd_o ignorant_a and_o presumptuous_a
