and_o bishop_n whether_o our_o pamphleter_n be_v a_o laic_a or_o no_o i_o listen_v not_o here_o to_o inquire_v although_o his_o ignorance_n bespeak_v he_o to_o be_v somewhat_o worse_o when_o he_o write_v this_o he_o do_v it_o in_o so_o great_a simplicity_n that_o his_o left_a hand_n know_v not_o what_o his_o right_a hand_n do_v for_o the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o his_o majesty_n may_v invest_v a_o laic_a with_o ecclesiastic_a dignity_n and_o promotion_n but_o whether_o he_o may_v do_v it_o without_o detriment_n to_o his_o kingdom_n and_o the_o unavoidable_a ruin_n of_o a_o glorious_a church_n without_o which_o his_o kingship_n will_v be_v at_o a_o ebb_n we_o do_v not_o so_o far_o detract_v from_o his_o majesty_n power_n as_o to_o avow_v that_o he_o can_v substitute_v mechanic_n '_o in_o church-discipline_n but_o we_o say_v that_o if_o he_o shall_v do_v it_o it_o will_v not_o a_o little_a tend_v to_o the_o disadvantage_n prejudice_n yea_o subversion_n of_o his_o kingly_a power_n and_o whence_o then_o do_v d._n e._n conclude_v the_o nullity_n of_o that_o coherence_n between_o king_n and_o bishop_n there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o king_n do_v a_o

injurious_a to_o the_o king_n authority_n to_o aver_v that_o he_o can_v not_o otherwise_o uphold_v himself_o than_o by_o preserve_v the_o undue_a and_o as_o some_o think_v antichristian_a praelation_n

to_o support_v the_o regal_a dignity_n that_o none_o have_v be_v great_a enemy_n to_o the_o king_n undoubted_a sovereignty_n than_o some_o bishop_n where_o we_o may_v observe_v the_o weakness_n of_o his_o reason_n some_o bishop_n have_v abuse_v the_o king_n trust_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o episcopacy_n shall_v be_v entail_v to_o kingship_n the_o same_o reason_n may_v be_v

hence_o may_v we_o conclude_v do_v the_o method_n of_o d._n e._n hold_v good_a that_o the_o king_n may_v subsist_v without_o his_o noble_n or_o what_o if_o we_o shall_v recriminate_a on_o those_o

of_o many_o consultation_n therefore_o the_o king_n may_v and_o ought_v to_o subsist_v without_o any_o such_o butteress_n and_o appendix_n of_o domination_n sure_o they_o will_v much_o grumble_v at_o
