A67877	The history of the troubles and tryal of the Most Reverend Father in God and blessed martyr, William Laud, Lord Arch-Bishop of Canterbury. [vol. 2 of the Remains.] wrote by himself during his imprisonment in the Tower ; to which is prefixed the diary of his own life, faithfully and entirely published from the original copy ; and subjoined, a supplement to the preceding history, the Arch-Bishop's last will, his large answer to the Lord Say's speech concerning liturgies, his annual accounts of his province delivered to the king, and some other things relating to the history.	Laud, William, 1573-1645.; Wharton, Henry, 1664-1695.; Prynne, William, 1600-1669. Rome's masterpiece.	1700 (1700)	Wing L596; ESTC R354	287,973	291

and_o princeps_fw-la so_o in_o his_o account_n episcopus_fw-la princeps_fw-la &_o satanicus_n be_v all_o one_o in_o mild_a term_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o in_o the_o most_o learned_a and_o

that_o the_o question_n be_v not_o whether_o this_o hierarchical_a episcopacy_n shall_v be_v take_v away_o root_n and_o branch_n so_o then_o i_o hope_v this_o lord_n will_v leave_v a_o hierarchy_n such_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o church_n we_o shall_v not_o have_v it_o all_o lay_v level_a we_o shall_v not_o have_v that_o curse_n of_o root_n and_o branch_n 16._o for_o less_o it_o be_v

take_v away_o what_o then_o what_o why_o it_o be_v but_o whether_o those_o exuberant_a and_o superfluous_a branch_n which_o draw_v away_o the_o sapp_n from_o the_o tree_n and_o divert_v it_o from_o the_o right_n and_o proper_a use_n whereby_o it_o become_v unfruitful_a shall_v be_v cut_v off_o as_o they_o use_v to_o pluck_v up_o sucker_n from_o the_o root_n this_o lord_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o

be_v such_o be_v to_o be_v take_v away_o st._n joh._n 15._o 2._o and_o therefore_o i_o can_v easy_o believe_v it_o that_o in_o episcopacy_n which_o be_v a_o far_o low_a vine_n under_o and_o in_o the_o service_n of_o christ_n and_o especial_o in_o the_o husband_n of_o it_o there_o may_v be_v some_o such_o branch_n as_o this_o lord_n speak_v of_o which_o draw_v away_o sapp_n and_o divert_v it_o and_o

how_o near_o to_o the_o body_n they_o be_v to_o be_v cut_v off_o whether_o this_o lord_n may_v not_o be_v mistake_v in_o the_o branch_n which_o he_o think_v divert_v the_o sapp_n whether_o a_o

this_o vine_n and_o all_o the_o branch_n of_o it_o in_o his_o church_n without_o his_o usurpation_n of_o their_o office_n and_o while_o he_o use_v a_o bill_n which_o be_v too_o boisterous_a a_o

what_o they_o be_v in_o their_o first_o advancement_n over_o the_o presbyter_n which_o although_o it_o be_v but_o a_o humane_a device_n for_o the_o remedy_n of_o schism_n yet_o be_v they_o in_o

shall_v to_o the_o next_o point_n and_o true_o i_o find_v nothing_o new_a in_o the_o fold_n up_o this_o conclusion_n but_o that_o he_o say_v he_o may_v add_v that_o minister_n be_v prohibit_v from_o

that_o the_o position_n with_o which_o they_o will_v possess_v the_o world_n in_o this_o case_n be_v far_o from_o truth_n let_v we_o examine_v this_o position_n then_o what_o it_o be_v and_o what_o

will_v grow_v into_o contempt_n first_o there_o be_v never_o any_o age_n in_o any_o kingdom_n christian_n in_o which_o the_o bishop_n be_v ride_v with_o so_o much_o scorn_n and_o contempt_n as_o

there_o will_v follow_v contempt_n upon_o their_o call_v so_o he_o make_v the_o bishop_n say_v be_v this_o lord_n of_o that_o opinion_n too_o no_o sure_o for_o he_o say_v the_o truth_n be_v these_o

the_o one_o will_v be_v rather_o monstrous_a than_o comely_a the_o other_o be_v ever_o acceptable_a be_v proper_a so_o be_v it_o with_o they_o their_o proper_a excellency_n be_v spiritual_a the_o

that_o solomon_n be_v almost_o as_o wife_n as_o this_o lord_n think_v himself_o and_o yet_o he_o say_v plain_o eccles._n 9_o 16._o that_o though_o wisdom_n in_o its_o self_n be_v far_o better_a than_o

contempt_n and_o despite_n which_o the_o boisterous_a multitude_n when_o their_o sin_n be_v reprove_v be_v apt_a to_o cast_v upon_o they_o and_o whatsoever_o this_o lord_n think_v it_o be_v a_o

the_o clergy_n shall_v have_v moderate_a plenty_n for_o mean_n and_o enjoy_v honour_n and_o external_a reputation_n and_o though_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o church_n consider_v in_o
