none_o of_o his_o business_n this_o be_v i_o confess_v too_o weighty_a a_o matter_n to_o be_v here_o thrust_v into_o the_o corner_n of_o a_o sermon_n yet_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o say_v so_o much_o as_o may_v somewhat_o lay_v that_o loud_a clamour_n against_o it_o for_o the_o papist_n and_o presbyterian_o both_o how_o ill_o soever_o they_o may_v agree_v in_o other_o matter_n hunt_v in_o

only_o now_o set_v out_o his_o part_n in_o matter_n of_o the_o church_n it_o will_v appear_v sufficient_o that_o he_o be_v rectus_n in_o curia_n stand_v right_o in_o the_o text_n and_o take_v not_o upon_o he_o business_n which_o be_v not_o his_o own_o we_o acknowledge_v the_o civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a to_o be_v two_o distinct_a power_n and_o though_o they_o may_v be_v both_o in_o one_o person_n and_o be_v original_o so_o yet_o by_o the_o divine_a positive_a law_n both_o of_o jew_n and_o christian_n they_o be_v so_o distinguish_v that_o though_o one_o person_n be_v capable_a of_o both_o yet_o not_o without_o a_o lawful_a title_n and_o investiture_n to_o either_o i_o can_v therefore_o think_v that_o the_o king_n be_v a_o ecclesiastical_a person_n who_o be_v never_o ordain_v or_o consecrate_a to_o be_v so_o therefore_o when_o some_o learned_a in_o our_o law_n affirm_v that_o the_o king_n be_v supreme_a ordinary_n and_o mixta_fw-la persona_fw-la it_o must_v be_v understand_v in_o some_o other_o sense_n and_o for_o some_o other_o purpose_n for_o we_o do_v not_o find_v that_o he_o attempt_v the_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v the_o proper_a act_n of_o a_o ecclesiastical_a person_n yes_o they_o say_v he_o claim_v by_o his_o title_n of_o supremacy_n to_o govern_v all_o person_n in_o all_o cause_n as_o well_o ecclesiastical_a as_o civil_a we_o acknowledge_v this_o to_o be_v his_o just_a title_n but_o deny_v that_o he_o do_v any_o thing_n by_o it_o which_o be_v not_o proper_o his_o own_o business_n and_o in_o right_a of_o his_o crown_n that_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n also_o of_o all_o ecclesiastical_a jurisdiction_n though_o it_o be_v not_o express_o in_o his_o title_n we_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v in_o his_o power_n but_o here_o i_o must_v crave_v leave_n to_o say_v something_o of_o the_o nature_n and_o notion_n of_o jurisdiction_n though_o it_o shall_v taste_v somewhat_o of_o the_o race_n and_o harshness_n of_o the_o school_n yet_o much_o of_o the_o case_n depend_v upon_o it_o and_o no_o little_a mistake_n there_o be_v about_o it_o it_o be_v agree_v general_o that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o church_n a_o power_n of_o order_n and_o a_o power_n of_o jurisdiction_n distinct_a that_o be_v for_o the_o power_n though_o not_o distinct_a in_o the_o object_n and_o matter_n of_o that_o power_n for_o that_o be_v the_o

distinguish_v be_v a_o power_n in_o habitu_fw-la the_o other_o in_o actu_fw-la so_o that_o jurisdiction_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o power_n to_o do_v actual_o what_o be_v potential_o or_o habitual_o receive_v in_o order_n i_o do_v not_o here_o take_v jurisdiction_n in_o the_o strict_a vulgar_a sense_n to_o be_v a_o power_n jus_o dicendi_fw-la inter_fw-la part_n litigantes_fw-la only_o as_o the_o word_n import_v but_o more_o large_o as_o it_o reach_v to_o any_o act_n of_o order_n without_o which_o it_o can_v lawful_o be_v put_v in_o execution_n now_o the_o question_n here_o will_v be_v how_o a_o king_n can_v be_v the_o fountain_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a jurisdiction_n use_v in_o his_o dominion_n who_o neither_o giu_v order_n himself_o not_o execute_v any_o that_o be_v have_v neither_o power_n of_o order_n nor_o power_n of_o jurisdiction_n my_o answer_n to_o this_o question_n be_v that_o the_o king_n power_n lie_v without_o both_o these_o and_o be_v that_o which_o give_v commission_n and_o faculty_n to_o person_n ordain_v to_o execute_v their_o order_n within_o his_o dominion_n and_o the_o reason_n ground_n and_o necessity_n of_o that_o be_v because_o the_o ecclesiastical_a function_n can_v be_v put_v in_o execution_n but_o by_o such_o way_n and_o mean_n as_o be_v absolute_o and_o original_o in_o the_o king_n and_o in_o right_a of_o his_o crown_n as_o first_o there_o must_v be_v some_o subject_n upon_o who_o they_o may_v execute_v their_o ecclesiastical_a order_n now_o all_o the_o subject_n within_o his_o dominion_n be_v the_o king_n who_o must_v of_o necessity_n lose_v so_o much_o of_o the_o right_n he_o have_v in_o they_o as_o any_o other_o assume_v without_o he_o from_o hence_o grow_v his_o right_n to_o order_n and_o constitute_v diocese_n and_o parish_n and_o to_o set_v they_o their_o bound_n and_o limit_n that_o be_v upon_o which_o of_o his_o subject_n and_o how_o far_o he_o will_v allow_v they_o respective_o to_o execute_v their_o order_n for_o without_o those_o bound_n it_o be_v not_o nor_o be_v use_v to_o be_v take_v for_o any_o part_n of_o their_o business_n to_o the_o public_a exercise_n of_o religion_n the_o people_n must_v meet_v together_o and_o all_o assembling_n of_o people_n together_o be_v absolute_o in_o the_o power_n of_o prince_n all_o state_n in_o all_o time_n have_v ever_o be_v jealous_a of_o they_o
