with_o the_o scandal_n of_o a_o brother_n take_v scandal_n on_o both_o side_n in_o the_o primary_n acception_n thereof_o then_o they_o seem_v to_o intimate_v that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o case_n

such_o among_o they_o for_o who_o christ_n die_v but_o i_o wonder_v upon_o what_o account_n i_o or_o any_o man_n else_o can_v think_v it_o to_o be_v the_o church_n of_o england_n if_o in_o any_o sense_n it_o can_v be_v call_v the_o church_n of_o england_n it_o be_v because_o it_o represent_v the_o ministry_n of_o england_n and_o that_o it_o do_v not_o because_o the_o far_o major_a part_n of_o it_o be_v cathedral_n man_n bishop_n dean_n arch-deacon_n and_o such_o as_o be_v choose_v by_o the_o respective_a chapter_n of_o each_o cathedral_n it_o may_v then_o be_v a_o representation_n of_o the_o cathedral_n minister_n but_o not_o of_o the_o ministry_n of_o england_n and_o that_o i_o shall_v make_v good_a by_o two_o parallel_n the_o first_o shall_v be_v betwixt_o our_o convocation_n and_o the_o council_n of_o trent_n many_o sober_a and_o moderate_a papist_n accuse_v this_o to_o be_v a_o pack_v assembly_n a_o representation_n of_o not_o the_o catholic_a church_n but_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n because_o the_o great_a part_n of_o it_o be_v of_o the_o pope_n faction_n and_o depend_v whole_o upon_o he_o so_o the_o major_a part_n of_o our_o convocation_n be_v of_o the_o bishop_n faction_n and_o mind_v chief_o the_o interest_n of_o cathedral_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o a_o representative_a of_o all_o the_o minister_n in_o england_n i_o shall_v exemplify_v this_o by_o instance_v in_o the_o diocese_n of_o bath_n and_o well_n wherein_o i_o live_v in_o this_o there_o be_v member_n of_o the_o low_a house_n of_o
