his_o answer_n to_o a_o libel_n supplicatory_a out_o of_o who_o i_o shall_v only_o present_v you_o with_o some_o few_o of_o their_o doctrine_n viz._n i._o that_o temporal_a prince_n may_v not_o by_o

down_o and_o destroy_v prince_n that_o offend_v that_o king_n and_o prince_n have_v over_o any_o particular_a man_n iii_o that_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o presbytery_n choose_v by_o themselves_o may_v excommunicate_v arraign_v and_o depose_v their_o prince_n when_o they_o see_v he_o govern_v amiss_o iv_o that_o the_o minister_n with_o the_o people_n may_v require_v of_o the_o king_n to_o have_v true_a preacher_n and_o if_o he_o be_v negligent_a they_o may_v provide_v themselves_o and_o may_v maintain_v and_o defend_v they_o against_o he_o and_o all_o other_o and_o curb_v the_o king_n in_o his_o excess_n where_o need_n be_v v._o that_o the_o whole_a ecclesiastical_a government_n of_o the_o protestant_a church_n now_o in_o england_n to_o wit_n by_o bishop_n archdeacon_n dean_n and_o the_o like_a be_v unlawful_a wicked_a and_o antichristian_a whereof_o ensue_v that_o all_o minister_n ordain_v by_o they_o be_v unlawful_a and_o all_o their_o action_n be_v only_a action_n of_o mere_a layman_n and_o consequent_o that_o they_o have_v no_o lawful_a public_a ministry_n at_o all_o vi_o that_o all_o minister_n ordain_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o bishop_n and_o come_v afterward_o to_o be_v of_o the_o puritan_n sect_n must_v renounce_v before_o the_o presbytery_n and_o class_n his_o former_a vocation_n and_o ordination_n and_o take_v another_o by_o their_o allowance_n and_o imposition_n of_o hand_n vii_o that_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n have_v no_o authority_n to_o meddle_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n nor_o to_o determine_v whaâ—_n religion_n be_v to_o be_v

all_o other_o to_o be_v damn_v that_o be_v not_o of_o it_o for_o the_o horrid_a effect_n and_o consequence_n of_o these_o doctrine_n we_o need_v not_o go_v to_o look_v for_o they_o into_o other_o country_n though_o all_o modern_a history_n yield_v plentiful_a example_n our_o own_o kingdom_n of_o england_n afford_v we_o too_o late_o and_o direful_a remembrance_n of_o they_o and_o the_o
