that_o controversy_n be_v in_o peace_n and_o silence_n but_o there_o be_v two_o circumstance_n in_o the_o administration_n of_o bishop_n wherein_o i_o confess_v i_o can_v never_o be_v satisfy_v the_o

will_v trouble_v you_o at_o this_o time_n but_o with_o three_o direction_n the_o first_o be_v that_o you_o have_v special_a care_n of_o the_o three_o plantation_n that_o of_o the_o north_n which_o be_v in_o part_n act_v that_o of_o weshford_n which_o be_v now_o in_o distribution_n and_o that_o of_o longford_n and_o letrim_n which_o be_v now_o in_o survey_n and_o take_v this_o from_o i_o that_o the_o bane_n of_o a_o plantation_n be_v when_o the_o undertaker_n or_o planter_n make_v such_o haste_n to_o a_o little_a mechanical_a present_a profit_n as_o disturb_v the_o whole_a frame_n and_o nobleness_n of_o the_o work_n for_o time_n to_o come_v therefore_o hold_v they_o to_o their_o covenant_n and_o the_o strict_a ordinance_n of_o plantation_n the_o second_o be_v that_o you_o be_v careful_a of_o the_o king_n revenue_n and_o by_o little_a and_o little_a constitute_v he_o a_o good_a demeasn_a if_o it_o may_v be_v which_o hitherto_o be_v little_a or_o none_o for_o the_o king_n

though_o first_o in_o weight_n be_v that_o you_o do_v all_o good_a endeavour_n to_o proceed_v resolute_o and_o constant_o and_o yet_o with_o due_a temperance_n and_o equality_n in_o matter_n of_o

admonition_n but_o not_o vulgar_a or_o discursive_a but_o apt_a for_o the_o time_n and_o in_o few_o word_n for_o they_o be_v best_a remember_v first_o therefore_o above_o all_o you_o ought_v to_o maintain_v the_o king_n prerogative_n and_o to_o set_v down_o with_o yourself_o that_o the_o king_n prerogative_n and_o the_o law_n be_v not_o two_o thing_n but_o the_o king_n prerogative_n be_v law_n and_o the_o principal_a part_n of_o the_o law_n the_o first-born_a or_o pars_fw-la prima_fw-la of_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o in_o conserve_n or_o maintain_v that_o you_o conserve_v and_o

i_o will_v now_o advise_v you_o be_v that_o you_o acquaint_v yourself_o diligent_o with_o the_o revenue_n and_o also_o with_o the_o ancient_a record_n and_o precedent_n of_o this_o court._n when_o the_o famous_a case_n of_o the_o copper_n mine_n be_v argue_v in_o this_o court_n and_o judge_v for_o the_o king_n it_o be_v not_o upon_o the_o fine_a reason_n of_o wit_n as_o that_o the_o king_n

out_o of_o man_n invention_n and_o conceit_n the_o three_o advice_n i_o will_v give_v you_o have_v a_o large_a extent_n it_o be_v that_o you_o do_v your_o endeavour_n in_o your_o place_n so_o to_o manage_v the_o king_n justice_n and_o revenue_n as_o the_o king_n may_v have_v most_o profit_n and_o the_o subject_a least_o vexation_n for_o when_o there_o be_v much_o vexation_n to_o the_o subject_a and_o little_a benefit_n to_o the_o king_n than_o the_o exchequer_n be_v sick_a and_o when_o there_o be_v much_o benefit_n to_o the_o king_n with_o less_o trouble_n and_o vexation_n to_o the_o subject_a than_o the_o exchequer_n be_v sound_a as_o for_o example_n if_o there_o shall_v be_v much_o rack_a for_o the_o king_n old_a debt_n and_o the_o more_o fresh_a and_o late_a debt_n shall_v be_v either_o more_o negligent_o call_v upon_o or_o over_o easy_o discharge_v or_o over_o indulgent_o stall_v or_o if_o the_o number_n of_o information_n be_v many_o and_o the_o king_n part_n or_o fine_n for_o composition_n a_o trifle_n or_o if_o there_o be_v much_o ado_n to_o get_v the_o king_n new_a land_n upon_o concealment_n and_o that_o which_o he_o have_v already_o be_v not_o well_o know_v and_o

that_o which_o make_v every_o man_n ready_a with_o their_o undertake_n and_o their_o project_n to_o disturb_v the_o ancient_a frame_n of_o the_o exchequer_n then_o the_o which_o i_o be_o persuade_v

have_v their_o chanceller_n and_o judge_n but_o that_o example_n of_o king_n and_o potentate_n give_v no_o good_a defence_n for_o the_o reason_n why_o king_n administer_v by_o their_o judge_n although_o themselves_o be_v supreme_a judge_n be_v two_o the_o one_o because_o the_o office_n of_o king_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o inheritance_n and_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o all_o law_n that_o office_n of_o inheritance_n be_v rather_o matter_n that_o ground_n in_o interest_n then_o in_o confidence_n for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o may_v fall_v upon_o woman_n upon_o infant_n upon_o

delegation_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o of_o the_o amplitude_n of_o their_o jurisdiction_n which_o be_v a_o great_a as_o either_o their_o birthright_n from_o their_o ancestor_n or_o their_o sword-right_a from_o god_n make_v it_o and_o therefore_o if_o moses_n that_o be_v governer_n over_o no_o great_a people_n and_o those_o collect_v together_o in_o a_o camp_n and_o not_o scatter_v in_o province_n and_o city_n himself_o of_o a_o extraordinary_a spirit_n be_v nevertheless_o not_o able_a to_o suffice_v and_o hold_v out_o in_o person_n to_o judge_v the_o people_n but_o

though_o not_o much_o to_o the_o present_a purpose_n and_o that_o be_v that_o king_n either_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n or_o of_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o own_o patrimony_n be_v usual_o party_n in_o suit_n and_o then_o their_o judge_n stand_v indifferent_a between_o they_o and_o the_o subject_a but_o in_o the_o case_n of_o bishop_n none_o of_o these_o reason_n hold_v for_o

to_o multiply_v cause_n for_o gain_v of_o fee_n but_o that_o the_o bishop_n may_v very_o well_o for_o cause_n of_o moment_n supply_n his_o judicial_a function_n in_o his_o own_o person_n for_o we_o see_v before_o our_o eye_n that_o one_o chanceller_n of_o england_n dispatch_v the_o suit_n in_o equity_n of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n which_o be_v not_o so_o much_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o

be_v more_o or_o less_o able_a to_o give_v dispatch_n and_o if_o hold_v be_v take_v of_o that_o which_o be_v say_v before_o that_o the_o bishop_n labour_n in_o the_o word_n must_v take_v up_o a_o
