according_a to_o his_o direction_n augustine_n be_v furnish_v with_o such_o full_a power_n as_o he_o think_v desire_v a_o meeting_n with_o the_o british_a bishop_n at_o a_o place_n call_v augustinsac_n as_o 2._o bede_n say_v in_o the_o confine_n of_o the_o wiccii_n and_o the_o west_n saxon_n where_o this_o place_n be_v be_v very_o uncertain_a and_o not_o at_o all_o material_a camden_n

place_n the_o british_a bishop_n give_v augustine_n a_o meeting_n where_o the_o first_o thing_n propose_v by_o he_o be_v that_o they_o will_v embrace_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o then_o join_v with_o they_o in_o preach_v to_o the_o gentile_n for_o say_v he_o they_o do_v many_o thing_n repugnant_a to_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o church_n which_o be_v in_o plain_a term_n to_o charge_v they_o with_o schism_n and_o the_o term_n of_o communion_n offer_v do_v imply_v submission_n to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o by_o consequence_n to_o his_o authority_n over_o they_o but_o the_o utmost_a that_o can_v be_v obtain_v from_o they_o be_v only_a that_o they_o will_v take_v far_a advice_n and_o give_v another_o meeting_n with_o a_o great_a number_n and_o then_o be_v present_v seven_o bishop_n of_o the_o britain_n and_o many_o learned_a man_n chief_o of_o the_o monastery_n of_o banchor_n where_o dinoth_n be_v then_o abbot_n and_o the_o result_n of_o this_o meeting_n be_v that_o they_o utter_o refuse_v submission_n to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n or_o to_o augustine_n as_o archbishop_n over_o they_o and_o for_o the_o account_n of_o this_o we_o be_v behold_v to_o bede_n who_o authority_n be_v liable_a to_o no_o exception_n in_o this_o matter_n but_o against_o this_o plain_a matter_n of_o fact_n there_o have_v be_v three_o objection_n make_v which_o must_v be_v remove_v 1._o that_o augustine_n do_v not_o require_v subjection_n from_o the_o british_a bishop_n but_o only_o treat_v with_o they_o about_o other_o matter_n in_o difference_n between_o they_o 2._o that_o their_o refuse_v subjection_n to_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n depend_v upon_o the_o credit_n of_o a_o spurious_a british_n ms._n late_o invent_v and_o bring_v into_o light_n as_o the_o answer_n of_o dinoth_n 3._o that_o if_o they_o do_v refuse_v subjection_n to_o the_o pope_n it_o be_v schismatical_a obstinacy_n in_o they_o and_o contrary_a to_o the_o former_a sense_n of_o the_o british_a church_n to_o all_o these_o i_o shall_v give_v a_o clear_a and_o full_a answer_n 1._o as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o conference_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v that_o other_o thing_n be_v start_v as_o about_o the_o paschal_n controversy_n and_o some_o rite_n of_o baptism_n etc._n etc._n but_o this_o be_v the_o main_a point_n which_o augustine_n do_v not_o in_o plain_a term_n insist_v upon_o because_o it_o will_v look_v too_o invidious_o to_o require_v subjection_n to_o himself_o but_o he_o cunning_o insinuate_v it_o under_o the_o name_n of_o ecclesiastical_a unity_n for_o i_o dare_v appeal_n to_o any_o man_n be_v common_a sense_n whether_o upon_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o british_a bishop_n comply_v in_o other_o thing_n and_o reject_v the_o pope_n authority_n will_v have_v be_v think_v sufficient_a if_o so_o then_o submission_n to_o the_o pope_n be_v no_o necessary_a term_n of_o communion_n and_o man_n may_v be_v in_o a_o very_a safe_a condition_n without_o it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v necessary_a then_o augustine_n must_v imply_v it_o within_o the_o term_n of_o catholic_n peace_n and_o ecclesiastical_a unity_n it_o be_v therefore_o ridiculous_a in_o 11._o alford_n and_o 6._o cressy_n and_o such_o writer_n to_o say_v that_o augustine_n do_v not_o insist_v upon_o it_o for_o it_o be_v to_o charge_v he_o with_o ignorance_n or_o stupidity_n that_o he_o shall_v leave_v out_o so_o necessary_a a_o article_n of_o communion_n and_o yet_o gregory_n have_v so_o great_a a_o opinion_n of_o he_o as_o to_o make_v he_o the_o director_n of_o the_o british_a church_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v suppose_v that_o he_o shall_v offer_v term_n of_o communion_n without_o require_v submission_n to_o the_o pope_n authority_n if_o those_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o schism_n who_o deny_v it_o but_o it_o be_v say_v that_o in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o second_o meeting_n augustine_n do_v not_o insist_v upon_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o mention_v any_o subjection_n to_o he_o from_o the_o british_a church_n but_o only_o require_v compliance_n in_o three_o point_n viz._n the_o time_n of_o the_o paschal_n solemnity_n agreeable_a with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n follow_v the_o roman_a custom_n in_o baptism_n and_o join_v with_o they_o in_o preach_v to_o the_o saxon_n and_o upon_o these_o they_o break_v up_o the_o meeting_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v require_v by_o augustin_n not_o as_o condition_n of_o brotherly_a communion_n but_o as_o the_o mark_n of_o subjection_n to_o his_o authority_n which_o appear_v from_o bede_n own_o word_n si_fw-mi in_o tribus_fw-la he_o mihi_fw-la obtemperare_fw-la vultis_fw-la etc._n etc._n which_o cressy_n very_o unfaithful_o render_v if_o they_o will_v conform_v in_o three_o point_n only_o whereas_o the_o meaning_n be_v if_o they_o will_v own_v his_o authority_n in_o those_o three_o thing_n and_o therefore_o the_o british_a bishop_n answer_v very_o apposite_o when_o they_o say_v we_o will_v neither_o do_v the_o thing_n nor_o submit_v to_o you_o as_o archbishop_n over_o we_o why_o shall_v they_o deny_v subjection_n if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v require_v of_o they_o which_o show_v
