power_n of_o bishop_n in_o the_o ordain_v and_o detrive_v of_o minister_n and_o in_o excommunication_n and_o absolution_n be_v another_o great_a cause_n of_o the_o evil_n we_o suffer_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n three_o the_o strict_a urge_n of_o subscription_n and_o conformity_n to_o the_o ceremony_n and_o canon_n of_o the_o church_n be_v another_o great_a cause_n of_o evil_a which_o we_o suffer_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o now_o my_o humble_a motion_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v take_v a_o piece_n only_o of_o this_o subject_n into_o our_o consideration_n but_o the_o whole_a matter_n and_o that_o not_o only_o that_o part_n of_o the_o minister_n remonstrance_n which_o have_v be_v read_v shall_v be_v refer_v to_o the_o committee_n which_o you_o be_v about_o to_o name_n
