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 realm_n have_v most_o rely_v for_o matter_n of_o council_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o the_o bishop_n who_o circuit_n be_v less_o ample_a and_o the_o cause_n in_o nature_n not_o so_o multiply_v with_o the_o help_n of_o reference_n and_o certificate_n to_o and_o from_o fit_a person_n for_o the_o better_a ripen_n of_o cause_n in_o their_o mean_a proceed_n and_o such_o

and_o other_o it_o be_v not_o the_o least_o that_o divers_a do_v adventure_n to_o handle_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v unfit_a and_o unworthy_a and_o herein_o i_o will_v have_v no_o man_n
