A42657 Siniorragia the sifters sieve broken, or a reply to Doctor Boughen's sifting my case of conscience touching the Kings coronation oath : wherein is cleared that bishops are not jure divino, that their sole government without the help of presbyters is an ursurpation and an innovation, that the Kings oath at coronation is not to be extended to preserve bishops, with the ruine of himself and kingdome / by John Geree. Geree, John, 1601?-1649. 1648 (1648) Wing G599; ESTC R26434 102,019 146

every_o good_a king_n ought_v in_o right_n to_o protect_v the_o bishop_n and_o church_n under_o their_o government_n it_o be_v confess_v that_o these_o be_v the_o expression_n of_o the_o oath_n as_o

that_o these_o be_v the_o expression_n of_o the_o oath_n deliver_v by_o the_o author_n but_o he_o be_v not_o in_o right_a bind_v to_o protect_v their_o privilege_n against_o a_o orderly_a alteration_n

to_o answer_v for_o still_o a_o slanderer_n it_o be_v none_o of_o my_o schism_n to_o force_v the_o king_n to_o let_v they_o fall_v for_o though_o i_o prove_v he_o may_v let_v they_o fall_v and_o that_o it_o be_v for_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o church_n that_o they_o shall_v fall_v yet_o i_o be_v always_o against_o force_v he_o to_o it_o for_o i_o think_v it_o be_v much_o more_o reason_n
