that_o person_n be_v present_v to_o your_o lordship_n to_o a_o cure_n you_o will_v find_v yourself_o under_o great_a difficulty_n if_o you_o admit_v he_o you_o deliver_v up_o the_o cure_n of_o soul_n to_o a_o person_n you_o do_v not_o approve_v if_o you_o refuse_v he_o you_o run_v the_o hazard_n of_o be_v sue_v at_o law_n indeed_o where_o you_o have_v ordain_v a_o person_n you_o can_v reasonable_o

to_o holy_a order_n this_o careless_a admit_v man_n to_o holy_a order_n may_v by_o the_o unite_a agreement_n of_o all_o the_o bishop_n be_v prevent_v for_o the_o future_a i_o need_v not_o tell_v you_o

he_o may_v be_v the_o better_o satisfy_v concern_v they_o every_o wise_a man_n will_v be_v very_o tender_a in_o commend_v a_o person_n as_o a_o servant_n to_o his_o friend_n much_o more_o if_o it_o be_v to_o a_o place_n of_o any_o considerable_a trust_n what_o care_v then_o ought_v the_o bishop_n to_o take_v when_o they_o commend_v man_n and_o admit_v they_o to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o church_n and_o the_o tremendous_a care_n of_o immortal_a soul_n the_o utmost_a care_n in_o this_o matter_n will_v be_v little_a enough_o and_o be_v this_o care_n take_v by_o all_o the_o

from_o what_o they_o see_v in_o their_o master_n life_n and_o from_o that_o goodly_a idea_n of_o religion_n which_o they_o lay_v before_o they_o conceive_v aright_o and_o be_v form_v into_o a_o

and_o fellow_n of_o college_n but_o still_o it_o must_v be_v grant_v that_o the_o unite_a endeavour_n of_o the_o bishop_n may_v do_v much_o in_o this_o matter_n for_o some_o of_o they_o be_v head_n of_o college_n themselves_o other_o of_o they_o be_v visitor_n of_o they_o and_o many_o of_o they_o have_v a_o great_a influence_n upon_o those_o head_n and_o fellow_n as_o they_o be_v dean_n or_o

in_o each_o university_n have_v use_v great_a care_n but_o yet_o this_o can_v not_o avail_v much_o when_o the_o great_a number_n be_v negligent_a and_o some_o of_o the_o govern_v part_n give_v
