we_o i_o will_v speak_v of_o two_o as_o be_v both_o the_o chief_n and_o contain_v under_o they_o all_o the_o rest_n the_o first_o be_v the_o chancellor_n under_o who_o there_o be_v archdeacon_n

ground_n against_o this_o diocesan_n discipline_n before_o i_o come_v to_o handle_v the_o argument_n against_o they_o consider_v well_o these_o ground_n 1_o the_o name_n of_o a_o church_n do_v

reason_n may_v be_v found_v from_o the_o scripture_n to_o prove_v the_o unlawfulness_n of_o this_o office_n which_o be_v for_o one_o in_o a_o diocese_n to_o have_v authority_n for_o keep_v court_n to_o prove_v will_n to_o right_a man_n for_o disorder_n and_o scandalous_a sin_n especial_o breach_n of_o their_o tradition_n and_o to_o censure_v man_n with_o their_o kind_n of_o penance_n and_o
