such_o a_o act_n as_o this_o repeal_v which_o must_v be_v one_o of_o the_o 17_o of_o charles_n the_o first_o this_o will_v not_o help_v they_o for_o they_o will_v not_o find_v that_o this_o in_o law_n can_v repeal_v the_o act_n make_v the_o 16_o of_o charles_n the_o first_o and_o what_o follow_v if_o they_o have_v act_v all_o this_o while_n and_o have_v no_o legal_a power_n let_v the_o world_n

but_o it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o this_o may_v be_v remedy_v it_o be_v but_o a_o mistake_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v it_o may_v be_v mend_v but_o it_o must_v be_v in_o parliament_n but_o than_o it_o be_v object_v that_o this_o act_n of_o the_o 13_o of_o this_o king_n intend_v they_o a_o power_n to_o hold_v court_n the_o answer_n be_v plain_a very_o true_a it_o do_v so_o but_o it_o must_v be_v according_a to_o the_o king_n majesty_n ecclesiastical_a law_n still_o and_o it_o must_v be_v from_o and_o under_o he_o as_o by_o law_n and_o sure_a the_o statute_n before_o be_v the_o law_n they_o must_v walk_v by_o until_o the_o same_o be_v true_o and_o exact_o repeal_v but_o for_o a_o further_a answer_n if_o they_o observe_v this_o statute_n well_o and_o allow_v it_o to_o be_v a_o mistake_n as_o i_o affirm_v it_o be_v they_o be_v not_o at_o all_o the_o better_a for_o this_o of_o car._n 2d_o as_o to_o their_o ecclesiastical_a power_n they_o now_o act_n by_o if_o there_o be_v no_o mistake_n at_o all_o for_o this_o of_o car._n 2d_o do_v not_o help_v they_o in_o the_o least_o for_o in_o the_o last_o paragraph_n of_o this_o statute_n of_o the_o 13_o of_o this_o king_n it_o be_v express_o say_v they_o shall_v have_v no_o more_o power_n than_o they_o have_v in_o the_o year_n 1639._o then_o see_v what_o they_o have_v in_o 1639_o it_o be_v most_o plain_a all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o statute_n be_v then_o in_o force_n against_o they_o both_o of_o henry_n the_o 8_o and_o edw._n 6_o q._n eliz._n and_o king_n james_n law_n for_o this_o very_a sentence_n and_o judgement_n in_o parliament_n before_o recite_v be_v but_o in_o 1610._o and_o i_o do_v aver_v they_o have_v no_o other_o power_n then_o but_o what_o those_o law_n give_v they_o thus_o i_o have_v do_v with_o matter_n of_o fact_n as_o it_o lie_v i_o leave_v all_o man_n to_o judge_v and_o govern_v themselves_o as_o they_o shall_v see_v occasion_n and_o will_v be_v glad_a my_o error_n may_v be_v correct_v by_o they_o if_o in_o any_o thing_n i_o have_v misquote_v or_o misrepresent_v the_o case_n hope_v that_o a_o more_o judicious_a person_n will_v undertake_v to_o correct_v it_o in_o what_o way_n or_o
