and_o yet_o when_o he_o make_v offer_v to_o the_o commons_o in_o parliament_n that_o they_o shall_v take_v into_o their_o consideration_n matter_n of_o war_n and_o peace_n then_o in_o in_o hand_n

that_o there_o be_v no_o king_n which_o will_v provident_o and_o mature_o enter_v into_o a_o war_n but_o will_v first_o balance_n his_o own_o force_n seek_v to_o anticipate_v confederacy_n and_o

his_o lordship_n add_v that_o he_o know_v
and_o that_o the_o dean_n and_o chapter_n be_v counsel_n about_o the_o see_v and_o chair_n of_o bishop_n at_o the_o first_o and_o be_v unto_o they_o a_o presbytery_n or_o consistory_n and_o intermedle_v not_o only_o in_o the_o dispose_v of_o their_o revenue_n and_o endowment_n but_o much_o more_o in_o jurisdiction_n ecclesiastical_a but_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o dean_n and_o chapter_n stick_v close_o to_o the_o bishop_n in_o matter_n of_o profit_n and_o the_o world_n and_o will_v not_o loose_v their_o hold_n but_o in_o matter_n of_o jurisdiction_n which_o they_o account_v but_o trouble_v and_o attendance_n they_o suffer_v the_o bishop_n to_o encroach_v and_o usurp_v and_o so_o the_o one_o continue_v and_o the_o other_o be_v lose_v and_o we_o see_v that_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n fas_fw-la enim_fw-la &_o ab_fw-la host_n doceri_fw-la and_o no_o question_n in_o that_o church_n the_o first_o institu●ions_n be_v excellent_a perform_v all_o ecclesiastical_a

mundi_fw-la because_o the_o bishop_n pretend_v to_o be_v universal_a over_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o hereof_o again_o we_o see_v many_o shadow_n yet_o remain_v as_o that_o the_o dean_n and_o chapter_n pro_fw-la formâ_fw-la choose_v the_o bishop_n which_o be_v the_o high_a point_n of_o jurisdiction_n and_o that_o the_o bishop_n when_o he_o give_v order_n if_o there_o be_v any_o minister_n casual_o present_a call_v they_o to_o join_v with_o he_o in_o imposition_n of_o hand_n and_o some_o other_o particular_n and_o therefore_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o thing_n reasonable_a and_o religious_a and_o according_a to_o the_o first_o institution_n that_o bishop_n in_o the_o great_a cause_n and_o those_o which_o require_v a_o spiritual_a discern_v namely_o in_o ordain_v suspend_v

a_o reformation_n that_o may_v be_v plant_v sine_fw-la strepi●u_fw-la without_o any_o perturbation_n at_o all_o and_o be_v a_o matter_n which_o will_v give_v strength_n to_o the_o bishop_n

strength_n give_v to_o the_o bishop_n by_o council_n so_o it_o be_v not_o unworthy_a your_o majesty_n consideration_n whether_o you_o s●all_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o give_v strength_n to_o the_o general_a council_n of_o your_o clergy_n the_o convocation_n house_n which_o be_v then_o restrain_v when_o the_o state_n of_o the_o clergy_n be_v think_v a_o suspect_v part_n to_o the_o kingdom_n in_o

second_o point_n which_o be_v the_o deputation_n of_o their_o authority_n i_o see_v no_o perfect_a and_o sure_a ground_n for_o that_o neither_o be_v somewhat_o different_a f●om_o the_o example_n and_o rule_n of_o government_n the_o bishop_n exercise_v his_o jurisdiction_n by_o his_o chanceller_n and_o commissary_n official_a etc._n etc._n we_o see_v in_o all_o law_n in_o the_o world_n office_n o●_n

and_o for_o experience_n there_o be_v never_o any_o chanceller_n of_o england_n make_v a_o deputy_n there_o be_v never_o any_o judge_n in_o any_o court_n make_v a_o deputy_n the_o bishop_n be_v a_o

can_v nor_o ought_v not_o be_v transpose_v sure_o in_o this_o again_o ab_fw-la initio_fw-la non_fw-la fuit_fw-la sic_fw-la but_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o bishop_n when_o they_o give_v themselves_o too_o much_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o world_n and_o become_v grandee_n in_o kingdom_n and_o great_a councillor_n to_o prince_n than_o do_v they_o deleague_n their_o proper_a jurisdiction_n as_o thing_n of_o too_o inferior_a a_o nature_n for_o their_o greatness_n and_o then_o after_o the_o similitude_n and_o imitation_n of_o king_n and_o count_n palatine_n they_o will_v have_v their_o chanceller_n and_o judge_n but_o that_o example_n of_o king_n and_o potentate_n give_v no_o good_a defence_n for_o the_o reason_n why_o king_n administer_v by_o their_o judge_n although_o themselves_o be_v supreme_a judge_n be_v two_o the_o one_o because_o the_o office_n of_o king_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o inheritance_n and_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o all_o law_n that_o office_n of_o inheritance_n be_v rather_o matter_n that_o ground_n in_o interest_n then_o in_o confidence_n for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o may_v fall_v upon_o woman_n upon_o infant_n upon_o lunatic_n and_o idiot_n person_n incapable_a to_o execute_v judicature_n in_o person_n and_o therefore_o such_o office_n by_o all_o law_n might_n ever_o be_v exercise_v and_o administer_v by_o delegation_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o of_o the_o amplitude_n of_o their_o jurisdiction_n which_o be_v a_o great_a as_o either_o their_o birthright_n from_o their_o ancestor_n or_o their_o sword-right_a from_o god_n make_v it_o and_o therefore_o if_o moses_n that_o be_v governer_n over_o no_o great_a people_n and_o those_o collect_v together_o in_o a_o camp_n and_o not_o scatter_v in_o province_n and_o city_n himself_o of_o a_o extraordinary_a spirit_n be_v nevertheless_o not_o able_a to_o suffice_v and_o hold_v out_o in_o person_n to_o judge_v the_o people_n but_o do_v by_o the_o advice_n of_o jethro_n approve_v from_o god_n substitute_n elder_n and_o judge_n how_o much_o more_o other_o king_n and_o princess_n there_o be_v a_o three_o reason_n likewise_o though_o not_o much_o to_o the_o present_a purpose_n and_o that_o be_v that_o king_n either_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n or_o of_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o own_o patrimony_n be_v usual_o party_n in_o suit_n and_o then_o their_o judge_n stand_v indifferent_a between_o they_o and_o the_o subject_a but_o in_o the_o case_n of_o bishop_n none_o of_o these_o reason_n hold_v for_o first_o their_o office_n be_v elective_a and_o for_o life_n and_o not_o patrimonial_a or_o hereditary_a a_o office_n mere_o of_o confidence_n science_n and_o qualification_n and_o for_o the_o second_o reason_n it_o be_v true_a that_o their_o jurisdiction_n be_v ample_a and_o spacious_a and_o that_o their_o time_n be_v to_o be_v divide_v between_o the_o labour_n as_o well_o in_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n as_o in_o government_n and_o jurisdiction_n but_o yet_o i_o do_v not_o see_v suppose_v the_o bishop_n court_n to_o be_v use_v incorrupt_o and_o without_o any_o indirect_a course_n hold_v to_o multiply_v cause_n for_o gain_v of_o fee_n but_o that_o the_o bishop_n may_v very_o well_o for_o cause_n of_o moment_n supply_n his_o judicial_a function_n in_o his_o own_o person_n for_o we_o see_v before_o our_o eye_n that_o one_o chanceller_n of_o england_n dispatch_v the_o suit_n in_o equity_n of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n which_o be_v not_o so_o much_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o excellency_n of_o that_o rare_a honourable_a person_n which_o now_o hold_v the_o place_n but_o it_o be_v ever_o so_o though_o more_o or_o less_o burdenous_a to_o the_o suitor_n as_o the_o chanceller_n be_v more_o or_o less_o able_a to_o give_v dispatch_n and_o if_o hold_v be_v take_v of_o that_o which_o be_v say_v before_o that_o the_o bishop_n labour_n in_o the_o word_n must_v take_v up_o a_o principal_a part_n of_o his_o time_n so_o i_o may_v say_v again_o that_o matter_n of_o state_n have_v ever_o take_v up_o most_o of_o the_o chanceller_n time_n have_v be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n person_n upon_o who_o the_o king_n of_o this_o

for_o the_o time_n of_o persecution_n before_o temporal_a prince_n receive_v our_o faith_n as_o they_o be_v excellent_a time_n for_o doctrine_n and_o manner_n so_o they_o be_v unproper_a and_o

that_o controversy_n be_v in_o peace_n and_o silence_n but_o there_o be_v two_o circumstance_n in_o the_o administration_n of_o bishop_n wherein_o i_o confess_v i_o can_v never_o be_v satisfy_v the_o
