hezekiah_n and_o josiah_n command_v the_o priest_n and_o levite_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o prove_v the_o point_n 1._o the_o censure_n and_o punishment_n of_o excommunication_n must_v either_o belong_v to_o the_o bishop_n or_o minister_n or_o to_o the_o magistrate_n but_o it_o belong_v not_o to_o the_o bishop_n or_o minister_n as_o i_o have_v abundant_o prove_v before_o therefore_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o magistrate_n 2._o the_o prince_n and_o elder_n in_o ezra_n time_n command_v the_o people_n to_o come_v to_o jerusalem_n to_o take_v the_o covenant_n and_o threaten_v those_o that_o refuse_v with_o excommunication_n or_o separation_n from_o the_o congregation_n or_o church_n ezra_n 10.3.7_o 8._o whereby_o you_o see_v that_o excommunication_n be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o magistrate_n 3._o king_n solomon_n degrade_v abiather_n the_o priest_n from_o his_o spiritual_a office_n which_o be_v a_o spiritual_a punishment_n 1_o king_n 2.27_o now_o if_o king_n and_o magistrate_n will_v imitate_v solomon_n than_o they_o must_v excommunicate_v scandalous_a person_n solomon_n put_v off_o the_o priest_n from_o meddle_v in_o holy_a thing_n so_o shall_v magistrate_n cut_v off_o scandalous_a sinner_n from_o the_o communion_n of_o saint_n at_o the_o lord_n table_n and_o from_o meddle_v with_o these_o holy_a thing_n 4._o if_o the_o magistrate_n may_v command_v spiritual_a duty_n than_o he_o may_v inflict_v spiritual_a punishment_n for_o neglect_n of_o they_o as_o in_o excommunication_n he_o that_o may_v command_v a_o duty_n have_v power_n to_o punish_v the_o neglect_n of_o it_o or_o else_o he_o have_v no_o power_n to_o command_v to_o command_v without_o a_o coercive_a power_n to_o compel_v be_v but_o a_o image_n or_o scarecrow_n but_o the_o magistrate_n may_v command_v spiritual_a duty_n 1_o chron._n 16.7_o &_o 2_o chron._n 35.15_o &_o 2_o chr._n 29.1_o 4_o 5._o &_o 2_o king_n 23.4_o and_o therefore_o the_o magistrate_n may_v inflict_v the_o spiritual_a punishment_n of_o excommunication_n 5._o excommunication_n be_v a_o punishment_n and_o so_o call_v by_o all_o man_n and_o so_o it_o be_v call_v in_o scripture_n 2_o cor._n 2.6_o and_o a_o punishment_n be_v a_o revenge_n now_o to_o punish_v and_o revenge_n be_v proper_a to_o the_o magistrate_n for_o he_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n to_o punish_v and_o to_o take_v vengeance_n on_o he_o that_o do_v evil_a rom._n 13.4_o wherefore_o the_o censure_n of_o excom_n upon_o the_o scandalous_a sinner_n belong_v to_o the_o office_n of_o the_o magistrate_n 6._o the_o several_a act_n of_o authority_n use_v in_o excom_n belong_v to_o magistraticall_a power_n as_o to_o summon_v into_o court_n and_o to_o examine_v witness_n against_o one_o and_o to_o examine_v the_o person_n complain_v on_o and_o without_o these_o precedent_a act_n there_o can_v be_v no_o excom_n now_o to_o who_o belong_v these_o act_n to_o he_o belong_v the_o censure_n of_o excom_n that_o be_v to_o the_o magistrate_n by_o these_o particular_n it_o appear_v that_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o bishop_n in_o his_o consistory_n do_v usurp_v the_o magistrate_n office_n quest_n 10._o do_v bishop_n divest_v the_o king_n of_o his_o supremacy_n i_o answer_v yes_o and_o thus_o i_o prove_v it_o 1._o it_o be_v clear_a by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o have_v be_v prove_v that_o bishop_n do_v usurp_v the_o magistrate_n authority_n and_o office_n now_o he_o that_o usurp_v the_o magistrate_n authority_n he_o usurp_v the_o king_n authority_n for_o the_o magistrate_n authority_n be_v the_o king_n and_o he_o that_o usurp_v the_o king_n authority_n in_o cause_n ecclesiastical_a he_o deny_v and_o deve_v the_o king_n of_o his_o supremacy_n in_o cause_n ecclesiastical_a for_o if_o you_o deny_v he_o authority_n you_o divest_v he_o of_o and_o deny_v his_o superiority_n and_o supremacy_n in_o authority_n if_o a_o master_n give_v his_o servant_n five_o pound_n to_o dispose_v of_o by_o his_o order_n and_o the_o servant_n be_v rob_v of_o it_o by_o the_o way_n not_o only_o the_o servant_n be_v rob_v but_o his_o master_n also_o and_o then_o his_o money_n be_v lose_v he_o can_v exercise_v neither_o authority_n nor_o superiority_n over_o it_o so_o it_o be_v if_o a_o bishop_n take_v from_o the_o magistrate_n the_o king_n authority_n with_o it_o he_o take_v the_o king_n superiority_n and_o supremacy_n in_o ecclesiastical_n but_o bishop_n will_v say_v they_o have_v the_o king_n commission_n for_o it_o and_o the_o king_n give_v they_o this_o authority_n but_o say_v i_o christ_n forbid_v they_o to_o take_v it_o mat._n 20.25_o and_o 1_o pet._n 5.3_o second_o they_o say_v the_o king_n give_v it_o they_o and_o so_o do_v a_o true_a man_n give_v his_o purse_n to_o a_o thief_n but_o it_o be_v out_o of_o fear_n so_o these_o king_n afore-time_o give_v their_o authority_n to_o bishop_n but_o they_o get_v this_o gift_n by_o fraud_n for_o the_o pope_n persuade_v king_n that_o the_o key_n of_o discipline_n and_o jurisdiction_n be_v a_o legacy_n leave_v by_o christ_n first_o to_o saint_n peter_n and_o so_o to_o his_o successor_n mat._n 16.19_o which_o be_v false_a and_o more_o than_o can_v be_v prove_v beside_o christ_n forbid_v the_o pope_n and_o bishop_n to_o exercise_v lordly_a authority_n mat._n 20.25_o &_o 1_o pet._n 5.3_o now_o as_o the_o pope_n so_o do_v those_o bishop_n false_o plead_v that_o legacy_n and_o so_o get_v it_o by_o fraud_n and_o subtlety_n wherefore_o as_o i_o conceive_v the_o gift_n of_o those_o king_n and_o their_o commission_n be_v a_o nullity_n cromwell_n of_o late_a get_v off_o the_o king_n head_n by_o force_n and_o thus_o bishop_n get_v away_o those_o king_n regal_a authority_n in_o the_o church_n by_o fraud_n and_o subtlety_n will_v it_o not_o grieve_v a_o man_n to_o see_v his_o friend_n cheat_v of_o his_o money_n at_o dice_n and_o how_o can_v it_o but_o be_v grievous_a to_o a_o loyal_a subject_n to_o see_v his_o king_n just_a and_o royal_a prerogative_n wrest_v out_o of_o his_o hand_n by_o the_o wit_n of_o bishop_n in_o king_n henry_n the_o 8._o the_o bishop_n of_o england_n take_v a_o oath_n to_o the_o pope_n whereupon_o the_o lord_n cromwell_n then_o inform_v the_o king_n of_o it_o say_v that_o he_o be_v but_o half_a king_n and_o his_o subject_n but_o half-subject_n to_o he_o as_o i_o conceive_v that_o the_o king_n be_v king_n but_o over_o the_o body_n and_o bishop_n be_v king_n over_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o people_n so_o they_o fall_v into_o a_o praemunire_n which_o cost_v they_o 100000._o pound_n the_o bishop_n in_o those_o day_n can_v not_o by_o flattery_n and_o subtlety_n persuade_v the_o king_n and_o his_o council_n that_o st._n peter_n key_n do_v hang_v on_o the_o pope_n girdle_n or_o on_o the_o girdle_n of_o english_a bishop_n he_o will_v not_o be_v so_o cheat_v of_o his_o supremacy_n for_o they_o get_v it_o by_o fraud_n 2._o the_o pope_n hold_v his_o office_n jure_fw-la divino_fw-la so_o do_v those_o bishop_n and_o so_o do_v our_o bishop_n for_o all_o these_o plead_v for_o peter_n key_n and_o such_o like_a scripture_n now_o though_o our_o bishop_n take_v a_o commission_n from_o the_o king_n and_o say_v he_o be_v supreme_a yet_o they_o hold_v a_o high_a commission_n namely_o from_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o the_o scripture_n how_o then_o can_v the_o king_n be_v supreme_a in_o cause_n ecclesiastical_a for_o bishop_n have_v a_o commission_n high_o than_o the_o commission_n which_o they_o have_v from_o the_o king_n and_o how_o can_v he_o be_v next_o under_o christ_n when_o the_o bishop_n have_v get_v the_o high_a commission_n the_o king_n may_v be_v supreme_a over_o the_o state_n but_o bishop_n be_v next_o to_o christ_n and_o supreme_a over_o the_o church_n and_o in_o cause_n ecclesiastical_a for_o they_o say_v they_o have_v a_o immediate_a commission_n from_o christ_n if_o so_o their_o commission_n from_o the_o king_n must_v be_v a_o inferior_a commission_n 3._o if_o a_o bishop_n have_v this_o lordly_a authority_n to_o excommunicate_v then_o if_o he_o make_v conscience_n of_o his_o office_n he_o must_v do_v justice_n to_o and_o upon_o all_o man_n rich_a and_o poor_a noble_a and_o ignoble_a even_o to_o the_o k._n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o peasant_n god_n be_v no_o respecter_n of_o person_n a_o bishop_n must_v not_o be_v partial_a now_o if_o a_o king_n be_v subject_a to_o a_o bishop_n court_n and_o the_o bishop_n there_o sit_v as_o lord_n and_o judge_n over_o he_o where_o be_v the_o king_n supremacy_n in_o ecclesiastical_n notwithstanding_o bishop_n conscience_n and_o do_v of_o justice_n i_o know_v they_o dare_v not_o summon_v the_o king_n into_o their_o consistory_n yet_o i_o know_v and_o they_o know_v too_o that_o by_o their_o principle_n and_o the_o power_n of_o peter_n key_n which_o hang_v at_o their_o girdle_n as_o they_o make_v the_o world_n believe_v they_o be_v bind_v to_o make_v no_o
