although_o they_o can_v produce_v any_o precedent_n or_o act_n of_o parliament_n that_o there_o be_v ever_o four_o degree_n congruent_a to_o the_o hold_v of_o a_o parliament_n as_o of_o necessity_n since_o we_o profess_v the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o admit_v of_o a_o reformation_n in_o this_o kingdom_n but_o only_o in_o the_o time_n of_o superstition_n in_o which_o time_n the_o clergy_n increase_v to_o that_o height_n and_o dignity_n they_o be_v now_o attain_v unto_o and_o procure_v to_o themselves_o the_o denomination_n of_o lord_n spiritual_a but_o neither_o of_o late_a nor_o

the_o good_a government_n thereof_o indeed_o i_o confess_v that_o it_o may_v be_v as_o necessary_a for_o bishop_n to_o sit_v in_o parliament_n to_o give_v their_o advice_n in_o point_n of_o divinity_n concern_v religion_n as_o judge_n sit_v there_o to_o give_v their_o opinion_n in_o point_n of_o law_n concern_v judicature_n but_o otherwise_o it_o be_v no_o way_n expedient_a but_o altogether_o

thus_o have_v show_v you_o the_o first_o step_n to_o this_o treason_n their_o opinion_n of_o the_o inconsistencie_n of_o parliament_n without_o their_o assistance_n i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o
