in_o judge_v any_o civil_a cause_n or_o inflict_v temporal_a punishment_n whether_o bodily_a or_o pecuniary_a have_v and_o use_v that_o power_n whole_o from_o the_o king_n and_o by_o his_o grace_n and_o favour_n in_o his_o right_n that_o the_o episcopal_a jurisdiction_n even_o as_o it_o be_v conclu_n 3_o true_o episcopal_a and_o mere_o spiritual_a though_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v receive_v

according_a to_o the_o canon_n and_o statute_n confirm_v by_o his_o authority_n nothing_o hinder_v but_o that_o thus-farre_a all_o ecclesiastical_a authority_n and_o jurisdiction_n may_v be_v true_o say_v to_o be_v annex_v to_o the_o crown_n and_o derive_v from_o thence_o and_o this_o only_o be_v the_o intent_n of_o those_o statute_n which_o annex_v the_o ecclesiastical_a jurisdiction_n to_o the_o crown_n which_o notwithstanding_o it_o may_v true_o be_v affirm_v that_o the_o bishop_n have_v their_o function_n and_o jurisdiction_n for_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v mere_o

belong_v to_o they_o by_o divine_a right_n or_o otherwise_o than_o by_o the_o favour_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o his_o predecessor_n he_o make_v they_o as_o absurd_o ignorant_a and_o presumptuous_a
