this_o be_v the_o clear_a state_n as_o far_o as_o i_o understand_v of_o his_o majesty_n his_o concession_n except_o i_o be_v mistake_v in_o the_o length_n of_o that_o word_n cooperate_v which_o be_v not_o his_o majesty_n expression_n i_o shall_v offer_v to_o you_o these_o two_o consideration_n upon_o it_o consid._n i._n first_o whether_o the_o bishop_n of_o england_n and_o to_o who_o only_o the_o

make_v any_o bishop_n hereafter_o because_o the_o dean_n and_o chapter_n who_o be_v by_o the_o law_n and_o usage_n of_o this_o kingdom_n to_o elect_v the_o bishop_n recommend_v to_o they_o by_o the_o

be_v together_o with_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n also_o abolish_v i_o can_v see_v but_o that_o the_o bishop_n be_v abolish_v also_o and_o can_v be_v make_v without_o some_o new_a way_n of_o constitution_n which_o rest_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o parliament_n 2._o the_o bishop_n that_o now_o be_v can_v after_o three_o year_n ordain_v except_o the_o house_n agree_v to_o appoint_v presbyter_n to_o join_v with_o they_o in_o that_o action_n which_o if_o the_o house_n shall_v not_o do_v the_o bishop_n power_n be_v still_o under_o suspension_n and_o if_o the_o presbyterial_a government_n and_o ordination_n be_v but_o grant_v indefinite_o as_o it_o be_v for_o three_o year_n i_o do_v not_o see_v but_o it_o will_v rest_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o house_n whether_o the_o bishop_n shall_v ever_o ordain_v or_o no_o and_o so_o in_o effect_n be_v vacate_v be_v limit_v to_o a_o concurrence_n of_o presbyter_n which_o be_v not_o find_v 3._o his_o majesty_n in_o this_o concession_n seem_v to_o i_o which_o i_o speak_v under_o his_o majesty_n favour_n to_o have_v go_v quite_o beside_o his_o own_o level_n for_o in_o his_o paper_n give_v to_o the_o divine_n at_o newport_n he_o cut_v out_o the_o episcopal_a office_n by_o the_o pattern_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o of_o timothy_n and_o titus_n who_o episcopal_a office_n as_o he_o call_v it_o do_v not_o consist_v only_o in_o a_o concurrence_n with_o a_o major_a part_n of_o presbyter_n in_o ordination_n or_o a_o negative_a voice_n to_o such_o a_o major_a part_n nor_o do_v the_o scripture_n by_o his_o majesty_n allege_v prove_v they_o to_o have_v be_v bishop_n in_o this_o sense_n and_o latitude_n only_o but_o the_o primitive_a bishop_n of_o the_o second_o and_o haply_o some_o of_o the_o first_o century_n after_o christ_n be_v rather_o of_o this_o model_n be_v of_o the_o quorum_fw-la in_o ordination_n which_o primitive_a bishop_n as_o the_o divine_n say_v in_o their_o answer_n may_v possible_o be_v and_o yet_o the_o bishop_n of_o england_n be_v abolish_v and_o so_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o bishop_n in_o the_o bill_n present_v to_o his_o majesty_n be_v by_o this_o concession_n of_o his_o quite_o alter_v and_o cast_v in_o a_o new_a mould_n which_o if_o his_o majesty_n will_v please_v to_o make_v as_o a_o new_a tendry_n to_o his_o house_n of_o parliament_n and_o express_o remove_v the_o old_a the_o rub_n will_v be_v in_o a_o manner_n quite_o take_v out_o of_o the_o way_n which_o remain_v in_o the_o opinion_n of_o many_o because_o his_o majesty_n do_v under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o present_a bishop_n capitulate_v beforehand_o for_o a_o new_a episcopacy_n which_o present_a bishop_n if_o you_o shall_v not_o concur_v with_o i_o in_o opinion_n that_o he_o be_v in_o effect_n abolish_v by_o his_o majesty_n concession_n yet_o certain_o he_o be_v reduce_v to_o so_o small_a a_o hair_n as_o can_v be_v divide_v any_o more_o for_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v go_v but_o one_o step_n further_o and_o take_v off_o that_o negative_a voice_n which_o this_o bishop_n that_o be_v offer_v be_v to_o have_v in_o ordination_n he_o will_v be_v then_o no_o more_o than_o one_o presbyter_n as_o he_o be_v very_o little_o more_o by_o this_o concession_n in_o the_o affirmative_a part_n of_o act_v though_o he_o be_v more_o in_o the_o negative_a part_n of_o not_o act_v which_o negative_a voice_n of_o the_o bishop_n will_v very_o seldom_o be_v use_v or_o if_o it_o be_v all_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o expectant_a or_o candidate_n of_o the_o ministry_n shall_v have_v some_o relief_n of_o his_o gravamen_fw-la by_o appeal_n to_o the_o provincial_a meeting_n or_o some_o other_o assembly_n which_o shall_v have_v power_n to_o determine_v the_o case_n and_o then_o i_o can_v see_v but_o that_o even_o this_o negative_a voice_n be_v render_v in_o effect_n nothing_o and_o so_o the_o bishop_n in_o effect_n abolish_v and_o if_o i_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o supplicate_v his_o majesty_n i_o shall_v beseech_v he_o to_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v some_o difference_n between_o gravamen_fw-la spiritus_fw-la and_o ligamen_fw-la conscientiae_fw-la for_o the_o affection_n he_o bear_v to_o that_o government_n of_o episcopacy_n and_o the_o long_a usage_n of_o it_o in_o the_o church_n may_v be_v heavy_a on_o his_o spirit_n and_o make_v the_o abolition_n unpleasing_a which_o yet_o do_v not_o bind_v the_o conscience_n or_o make_v the_o do_v it_o unlawful_a to_o he_o consid._n ii_o second_o it_o may_v be_v consider_v if_o the_o bishop_n be_v not_o in_o effect_n abolish_v in_o regard_n of_o this_o be_v 1._o whether_o it_o be_v any_o inconvenience_n to_o set_v up_o in_o every_o county_n or_o province_n a_o presbytery_n for_o ordination_n the_o jurisdictive_a part_n to_o go_v as_o be_v already_o establish_v in_o eldership_n class_n and_o synod_n of_o the_o grave_a and_o most_o judicious_a minister_n both_o to_o give_v reputation_n to_o the_o ordination_n and_o to_o prevent_v the_o misadministration_n thereof_o in_o the_o class_n most_o of_o which_o in_o england_n may_v haply_o not_o consist_v of_o a_o competent_a number_n of_o man_n so_o fit_a to_o exercise_v it_o for_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o ordination_n by_o presbyter_n be_v good_a and_o lawful_a and_o that_o one_o of_o the_o quorum_fw-la concur_v with_o they_o in_o ordination_n render_v not_o the_o same_o evil_a or_o unlawful_a for_o if_o it_o do_v so_o i_o see_v not_o how_o the_o presbyter_n now_o in_o be_v can_v well_o justify_v their_o own_o 2._o this_o way_n propound_v by_o his_o majesty_n may_v happy_o reduce_v all_o the_o divine_n of_o england_n into_o a_o like_n or_o acceptance_n of_o the_o government_n and_o so_o take_v off_o that_o odium_fw-la or_o prejudice_v which_o it_o lie_v under_o with_o they_o and_o other_o 3._o the_o way_n of_o ordination_n by_o presbyter_n in_o every_o province_n or_o county_n select_v by_o parliament_n prima_fw-la vice_n may_v prevent_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o influence_n which_o the_o now_o sequester_v divine_v be_v restore_v to_o a_o capacity_n of_o pastoral_a charge_n will_v have_v in_o the_o several_a
