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

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

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
