foresay_a condemnation_n of_o your_o assembly_n and_o of_o all_o priest_n in_o england_n and_o wales_n so_o that_o i_o need_v not_o produce_v as_o you_o require_v testes_fw-la fide_fw-la dignos_fw-la to_o prove_v that_o condemnation_n to_o be_v just_a but_o you_o need_v bring_v convince_a reason_n out_o of_o my_o mandate_n to_o prove_v that_o i_o make_v any_o such_o condemnation_n if_o you_o will_v show_v yr._n self_n to_o be_v lawful_a accuser_n of_o your_o spiritual_a father_n and_o superior_a likewise_o i_o need_v not_o recall_v under_o my_o hand_n and_o seal_v what_o i_o never_o say_v or_o thought_n but_o you_o be_v bind_v under_o your_o hand_n to_o recall_v what_o you_o have_v plain_o but_o untrue_o impose_v upon_o i_o and_o that_o shall_v suffice_v i_o for_o reparation_n of_o my_o honour_n and_o credit_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v as_o much_o if_o not_o more_o dear_a to_o i_o as_o you_o to_o you_o for_o i_o attribute_v your_o error_n herein_o not_o to_o malice_n or_o ill_a will_n against_o i_o but_o to_o a_o simple_a mistake_n of_o my_o meaning_n upon_o unsufficient_a consideration_n of_o my_o word_n as_o for_o proceed_v iuridical_o which_o you_o say_v i_o have_v refuse_v to_o two_o or_o three_o i_o use_v it_o at_o my_o first_o come_v into_o england_n but_o i_o find_v not_o that_o it_o wrought_v any_o good_a effect_n and_o therefore_o leave_v it_o and_o indeed_o judge_v that_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o these_o time_n in_o england_n neither_o do_v i_o think_v you_o will_v take_v it_o well_o if_o i_o shall_v force_v you_o to_o a_o iuridicall_a proof_n of_o your_o foresay_a accusation_n against_o i_o what_o i_o write_v late_o to_o mr._n walton_n that_o he_o have_v satisfy_v i_o concern_v the_o assembly_n that_o therein_o nothing_o be_v do_v against_o my_o episcopal_a authority_n which_o before_o i_o suspect_v but_o not_o that_o the_o assembly_n have_v ungratful_o and_o seditiouse_o machinate_v against_o my_o episcopal_a authority_n which_o i_o never_o suspect_v nor_o ever_o imagine_v till_o i_o read_v this_o your_o letter_n you_o call_v mr._n harrington_n sub_n dean_n of_o yr._n chapter_n which_o office_n i_o never_o give_v he_o nor_o any_o other_o that_o have_v authority_n from_o i_o be_v not_o this_o to_o usurp_v upon_o episcopal_a authority_n and_o to_o take_v spiritual_a authority_n give_v by_o none_o which_o what_o offence_n it_o be_v you_o well_o know_v to_o the_o same_o effect_n and_o purpose_v his_o lordship_n write_v a_o answer_n to_o mr._n blacloe_n who_o espouse_a mr._n harrington_n quarrel_n and_o i_o have_v judge_v it_o expedient_a to_o join_v it_o with_o the_o former_a that_o the_o matter_n in_o debate_n may_v be_v confirm_v and_o mr._n blacloes_n insolent_a petulancy_n appear_v thereby_o the_o answer_n be_v express_v as_o follow_v i_o have_v receive_v you_o of_o the_o 31._o of_o october_n and_o much_o marvel_v to_o see_v a_o letter_n of_o that_o subject_n from_o yourself_o because_o you_o be_v not_o interest_v in_o the_o quarrel_n of_o the_o five_o priest_n for_o who_o you_o plead_v and_o have_v enough_o to_o do_v for_o your_o own_o work_n as_o also_o because_o they_o need_v not_o your_o help_n and_o as_o you_o confess_v a_o treaty_n of_o accommodation_n between_o i_o and_o they_o be_v set_v on_o foot_n which_o perhaps_o your_o letter_n may_v hinder_v you_o say_v you_o will_v not_o espouse_v their_o quarrel_n and_o yet_o you_o do_v it_o in_o the_o chief_a point_n and_o therein_o spend_v two_o three_o part_n of_o your_o letter_n and_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v that_o this_o consequence_n be_v good_a if_o mr._n metham_n harrington_n be_v condemn_v as_o seditious_o convocate_a the_o assemble_v the_o assemble_v itself_o be_v condemn_v as_o seditious_o convocate_v because_o forsooth_o where_o there_o be_v a_o active_a there_o be_v a_o passive_a as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o a_o active_a and_o passive_a but_o if_o you_o look_v well_o you_o will_v here_o find_v two_o actives_a to_o wit_n two_o condemnation_n the_o former_a of_o mr._n metham_n the_o latter_a of_o the_o assemble_v and_o the_o latter_a i_o say_v will_v not_o follow_v of_o the_o former_a whicht_v i_o prove_v both_o by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o we_o condemn_v not_o in_o any_o sort_n of_o sedition_n though_o we_o condemn_v the_o jew_n thereof_o in_o convocate_a they_o which_o example_n you_o touch_v not_o and_o also_o by_o reason_n because_o the_o convocate_v may_o nether_a know_v nor_o consent_n to_o the_o seditious_a intent_n of_o the_o conuocator_n and_o without_o knowledge_n and_o consent_n there_o be_v no_o sin_n at_o all_o and_o consequent_o no_o cause_n of_o condemnation_n and_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o state_n of_o the_o assembly_n convocate_v by_o mr._n metham_n but_o say_v you_o if_o the_o convocation_n be_v illegal_a the_o convocate_v be_v faulty_a in_o yield_n to_o a_o illegal_a action_n i_o answer_v the_o convocation_n itself_o may_v be_v legal_a because_o according_a to_o law_n and_o by_o lawful_a authority_n and_o yet_o the_o intention_n of_o the_o conuocator_n illegal_a and_o seditious_a for_o a_o good_a deed_n may_v be_v do_v for_o a_o ill_a end_n and_o one_o may_v know_v and_o consert_v to_o the_o good_a deed_n and_o yet_o nether_a know_v nor_o consent_n to_o the_o ill_a end_n for_o which_o it_o be_v do_v but_o you_o reply_v that_o the_o assembly_n can_v not_o be_v ignorant_a of_o what_o themselves_o do_v true_o but_o yet_o they_o may_v be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o intent_n of_o he_o who_o procure_v they_o to_o do_v what_o they_o do_v nether_a will_v it_o follow_v that_o if_o i_o fear_v they_o do_v something_o prejudicial_a to_o my_o authority_n that_o therefore_o i_o suspect_v they_o of_o sedition_n against_o my_o authority_n because_o they_o may_v be_v persuade_v that_o either_o that_o be_v not_o against_o my_o authority_n indeed_o or_o if_o it_o be_v they_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o do_v it_o for_o example_n the_o council_n of_o constance_n act_v against_o the_o papal_a authority_n of_o three_o pope_n yet_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o sedition_n against_o papal_a authority_n because_o they_o be_v persuade_v that_o what_o they_o do_v be_v just_a and_o necessary_a for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n and_o it_o be_v sedition_n which_o i_o be_o charge_v to_o have_v impute_v to_o the_o assembly_n and_o to_o all_o the_o priest_n in_o england_n and_o wales_n and_o be_v that_o which_o i_o deny_v and_o you_o shall_v prove_v but_o of_o which_o i_o never_o suspect_v the_o assembly_n thus_o i_o think_v i_o have_v brief_o but_o sufficient_o answer_v the_o substance_n of_o your_o letter_n which_o i_o will_v not_o have_v answer_v at_o all_o if_o i_o have_v not_o suspect_v that_o by_o my_o silence_n you_o will_v either_o have_v think_v yourself_o contemn_v or_o i_o convict_v by_o you_o but_o if_o you_o will_v write_v any_o more_o of_o this_o subject_n look_v for_o no_o answer_n from_o i_o for_o i_o purpose_v to_o spend_v my_o time_n better_o than_o in_o quarrel_n only_o for_o your_o soul_n sake_n i_o request_v you_o to_o leave_v those_o naughty_a reproach_n which_o you_o give_v to_o one_o equal_a to_o yourself_o in_o all_o thing_n but_o you_o name_v he_o not_o you_o know_v why_o that_o he_o be_v a_o lie_v and_o perjure_a sycophant_n á_z

and_o such_o other_o which_o you_o bestow_v upon_o myself_o it_o seem_v you_o have_v forget_v your_o solemn_a promise_n which_o you_o make_v at_o your_o ordination_n to_o give_v reverence_n and_o
