A48309	A discovrse concerning Puritans tending to a vindication of those, who unjustly suffer by the mistake, abuse, and misapplication of that name.	Parker, Henry, 1604-1652.; Ley, John, 1583-1662.	1641 (1641)	Wing L1876; ESTC R212712	47,271	67

the_o love_n and_o reverence_v due_a by_o the_o people_n to_o draw_v it_o to_o themselves_o to_o bring_v these_o thing_n to_o pass_v they_o have_v new_o invent_v a_o doctrine_n that_o talk_v of_o

after_o 1560_o there_o be_v scarce_o any_o book_n print_v in_o italy_n but_o in_o diminution_n of_o secular_a authority_n and_o exaltation_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a and_o now_o the_o people_n have_v scarce_o any_o other_o book_n to_o read_v nor_o have_v the_o confessor_n any_o other_o doctrine_n or_o need_v any_o other_o learning_n hence_o come_v this_o perverse_a opinion_n that_o

book_n permit_v or_o ancient_a author_n leave_v ungeld_v of_o all_o which_o serve_v for_o temporal_a authority_n as_o appear_v by_o a_o book_n print_v 1607_o call_v index_n expurgatorius_fw-la and_o

be_v sure_a to_o have_v no_o book_n true_a i_o have_v hitherto_o cite_v this_o egregious_a politician_n for_o these_o purpose_n first_o that_o we_o may_v see_v how_o easy_a it_o be_v for_o clergyman_n to_o wrest_v all_o authority_n out_o of_o the_o temporalty_n hand_n if_o prince_n will_v be_v so_o easy_a to_o be_v hoodwink_v and_o delude_v by_o they_o and_o to_o resign_v their_o judgement_n to_o

author_n against_o himself_o in_o those_o point_n wherein_o he_o tax_v protestant_n we_o will_v yield_v that_o for_o the_o space_n of_o nine_o hundred_o year_n the_o see_v of_o rome_n do_v not_o usurp_v over_o other_o see_n but_o do_v acknowledge_v equal_a subjection_n to_o the_o canon_n and_o that_o the_o division_n and_o separation_n of_o the_o eastern_a church_n happen_v when_o rome_n arrogate_a above_o canon_n but_o withal_o we_o must_v have_v it_o yield_v to_o we_o that_o those_o canon_n have_v be_v compose_v only_o by_o clergyman_n and_o that_o in_o too_o much_o favour_n of_o

that_o take_v little_a notice_n what_o the_o church_n have_v gain_v by_o he_o as_o its_o head_n and_o governor_n he_o heap_v up_o great_a title_n and_o honour_n upon_o bishop_n archbishop_n

whole_a face_n of_o christendom_n begin_v to_o be_v embroil_v with_o war_n and_o poison_v with_o heresy_n so_o that_o the_o historian_n of_o those_o time_n have_v almost_o nothing_o else_o to_o

and_o herein_o i_o be_o to_o undertake_v not_o only_o the_o episcopal_a but_o the_o presbyterial_a side_n also_o not_o only_o protestant_a prelate_n but_o even_o master_n calvin_n that_o great_a

not_o the_o first_o power_n which_o they_o claim_v as_o most_o essential_a they_o take_v to_o be_v the_o power_n of_o the_o key_n though_o they_o define_v not_o certain_o what_o that_o be_v whether_o

more_o know_v and_o impartial_a than_o all_o man_n else_o there_o be_v necessity_n of_o their_o counsel_n to_o declare_v matter_n of_o law_n but_o not_o of_o their_o consent_n in_o apply_v coercive_a and_o forcible_a remedy_n for_o the_o execution_n of_o law_n i_o have_v say_v also_o that_o clergyman_n be_v as_o well_o citizen_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n as_o son_n of_o the_o church_n and_o these_o case_n import_v as_o well_o perturbance_n of_o the_o state_n annoyance_n to_o the_o church_n that_o there_o can_v be_v but_o one_o head_n which_o ought_v to_o have_v command_n over_o both_o and_o in_o both_o it_o be_v manifest_a also_o that_o many_o case_n be_v partly_o temporal_a and_o partly_o spiritual_a and_o that_o scarce_o any_o be_v so_o temporal_a but_o that_o it_o relate_v in_o some_o order_n to_o spiritual_a thing_n or_o any_o so_o spiritual_a but_o that_o it_o have_v some_o relation_n to_o temporal_a thing_n so_o that_o the_o true_a subject_n of_o ecclesiastical_a and_o
