we_o be_v fall_v and_o be_v enemy_n and_o opposer_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o kingdom_n it_o do_v behoove_v we_o to_o know_v they_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v eschew_v they_o and_o their_o evil_a way_n and_o seek_v after_o the_o truth_n make_v strait_a step_n unto_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n now_o that_o we_o ourselves_o may_v make_v particular_a use_n hereof_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o we_o to_o examine_v the_o nationall_n synod_n or_o convocation_n consist_v of_o the_o prelacy_n and_o clergy_n of_o the_o land_n who_o whilst_o they_o remain_v under_o the_o yoke_n and_o bondage_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o whilst_o they_o exercise_v their_o power_n which_o be_v first_o give_v they_o by_o the_o pope_n for_o and_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o that_o church_n

shall_v seem_v that_o their_o spiritual_a pontifical_a power_n and_o authority_n which_o they_o exercise_v be_v lawful_a and_o warrantable_a and_o to_o be_v submit_v unto_o they_o be_v gather_v together_o boast_v themselves_o to_o be_v the_o representative_a body_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o the_o true_a church_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o they_o have_v power_n to_o make_v law_n and_o canon_n for_o government_n thereof_o and_o for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n which_o all_o man_n ought_v to_o yield_v obedience_n unto_o as_o appeareth_z by_o divers_a of_o their_o book_n of_o canon_n but_o we_o be_v not_o to_o take_v this_o upon_o their_o word_n but_o to_o make_v trial_n thereof_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whether_o it_o be_v true_a or_o false_a if_o the_o word_n of_o god_n do_v give_v they_o such_o power_n and_o authority_n than_o indeed_o we_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o yield_v already_o obedience_n to_o their_o law_n and_o canon_n but_o the_o most_o wise_a god_n and_o disposer_n of_o all_o thing_n who_o know_v the_o vanity_n of_o man_n mind_n will_v not_o have_v his_o people_n to_o hold_v their_o faith_n in_o respect_n of_o man_n person_n and_o at_o their_o pleasure_n to_o alter_v and_o change_v the_o same_o and_o therefore_o do_v not_o give_v to_o any_o of_o his_o minister_n power_n to_o make_v law_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n but_o give_v they_o power_n only_o to_o teach_v the_o nation_n to_o observe_v the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v command_v they_o as_o in_o the_o 28._o of_o matthew_n the_o 19_o and_o 20._o verse_n and_o the_o apostle_n paul_n bid_v the_o corinthian_n 1_o cor._n 11.1_o to_o be_v follower_n of_o he_o as_o he_o follow_v christ_n and_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n he_o also_o say_v that_o which_o he_o have_v receive_v of_o the_o lord_n he_o deliver_v unto_o they_o 15._o act_n 15._o also_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o elder_n of_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n they_o will_v not_o impose_v any_o yoke_n of_o bondage_n upon_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n but_o hold_v it_o to_o be_v a_o tempt_a of_o god_n so_o to_o do_v as_o before_o have_v be_v show_v and_o this_o agree_v with_o that_o in_o deut._n 12.32_o whatsoever_o i_o command_v you_o take_v heed_n you_o do_v it_o thou_o shall_v put_v nothing_o thereto_o nor_o take_v aught_o therefrom_o by_o which_o scripture_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o chief_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v no_o such_o power_n as_o these_o prelate_n presume_v to_o have_v as_o we_o shall_v find_v by_o examine_v their_o particular_a canon_n and_o constitution_n of_o which_o for_o example_n i_o will_v only_o note_v some_o few_o of_o their_o late_a and_o best_a reform_a book_n make_v anno_fw-la 1603._o in_o the_o first_o year_n of_o the_o king_n majesty_n reign_n by_o which_o it_o will_v be_v apparent_a that_o they_o pass_v the_o bound_n of_o the_o subject_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o power_n from_o he_o to_o make_v such_o law_n but_o by_o so_o do_v they_o usurp_v the_o place_n of_o god_n to_o reign_v in_o man_n conscience_n for_o unto_o he_o only_o it_o do_v belong_v to_o make_v law_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n to_o which_o man_n be_v only_o bind_v to_o yield_v obedience_n without_o add_v or_o detract_n and_o that_o for_o
