i_o can_v but_o hope_v that_o what_o i_o have_v yet_o to_o say_v in_o the_o person_n of_o this_o dead_a prelate_n will_v have_v so_o much_o influence_n upon_o you_o all_o especial_o of_o the_o laity_n

to_o you_o from_o this_o reverend_a bishop_n and_o in_o this_o i_o can_v easy_o presume_v upon_o your_o patience_n though_o i_o have_v almost_o weary_v it_o already_o when_o i_o call_v this_o a_o sermon_n which_o now_o i_o be_o to_o deliver_v etc._n i_o speak_v not_o without_o my_o warrant_n for_o when_o st._n gregory_n preach_v his_o forty_o sermon_n upon_o the_o gospel_n he_o pen_v they_o all_o but_o read_v no_o more_o of_o they_o himself_o then_o eighteen_o by_o reason_n of_o some_o bodily_a infirmity_n the_o rest_n be_v read_v by_o his_o sub-deacon_n or_o notary_n and_o yet_o all_o of_o they_o be_v then_o receive_v and_o ever_o since_o esteem_v and_o repute_v as_o st._n gregory_n sermon_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o i_o call_v that_o which_o now_o remain_v the_o bishop_n of_o duresme_n sermon_n though_o i_o read_v it_o to_o you_o it_o be_v indeed_o the_o most_o solemn_a and_o elaborate_a sermon_n he_o ever_o make_v be_v a_o profession_n or_o declaration_n of_o his_o faith_n with_o some_o wholesome_a instruction_n and_o direction_n to_o all_o good_a christian_n within_o the_o church_n of_o england_n though_o it_o be_v more_o particular_o direct_v to_o

omit_v to_o speak_v concern_v he_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n he_o do_v with_o much_o deliberation_n and_o not_o without_o some_o consultation_n with_o some_o of_o his_o reverend_a brethren_n and_o other_o as_o to_o the_o form_n and_o manner_n of_o it_o and_o when_o it_o be_v fit_v exact_o according_a to_o his_o own_o thought_n and_o desire_n he_o solemn_o publish_v sign_v and_o seal_v it_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o five_o witness_n and_o annex_v it_o as_o a_o codicil_n to_o his_o will_n and_o 1658._o afterward_o when_o the_o shrink_n of_o his_o small_a estate_n compel_v he_o to_o alter_v his_o

other_o witness_n so_o that_o upon_o second_o thought_n it_o be_v not_o only_o own_v by_o he_o but_o also_o ratify_v and_o confirm_v more_o solemn_o than_o before_o it_o follow_v in_o these_o word_n 1._o in_o the_o first_o age_n 318._o of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v a_o very_a excellent_a custom_n that_o whensoever_o any_o be_v consecrate_a bishop_n of_o any_o patriarchal_a or_o chief_a see_v he_o shall_v by_o a_o encyclical_a epistle_n give_v a_o account_n of_o his_o faith_n to_o his_o brethren_n of_o the_o same_o order_n and_o dignity_n for_o the_o better_a strengthen_v of_o that_o catholic_n

receive_v by_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n in_o those_o time_n which_o be_v a_o sufficient_a evidence_n of_o a_o coordination_n but_o can_v never_o have_v consist_v with_o their_o now_o challenge_v monarchy_n in_o the_o church_n 2._o and_o though_o the_o reason_n be_v different_a the_o design_n be_v no_o less_o necessary_a in_o this_o last_o and_o worst_a age_n of_o the_o church_n for_o all_o bishop_n whosoever_o to_o leave_v some_o testimony_n of_o their_o faith_n to_o the_o world_n when_o it_o shall_v please_v god_n to_o take_v they_o out_o of_o it_o that_o so_o neither_o their_o name_n

several_a office_n of_o it_o if_o the_o assembler_n themselves_o that_o first_o lay_v it_o aside_o can_v have_v find_v any_o fault_n in_o it_o their_o modesty_n be_v not_o so_o great_a if_o we_o may_v
