A36143	A Disputation proving that it is not convenient to grant unto ministers secular jurisdiction, and to make them lords & statesmen in Parliament		1679 (1679)	Wing D1677; ESTC R15032	30,674	38

to_o be_v supreme_a magistrate_n and_o judge_n under_z and_o with_o the_o king_n in_o the_o house_n of_o lord_n and_o to_o have_v jurisdiction_n and_o lordship_n proper_a to_o magistrate_n and_o supreme_a coercive_a judge_n and_o to_o the_o nobility_n peer_n and_o prince_n in_o parliament_n this_o i_o hold_v to_o be_v extra_fw-la episcopal_a to_o be_v a_o swerve_v from_o the_o simplicity_n

in_o england_n be_v a_o vice_n of_o the_o very_a same_o kind_n with_o that_o of_o the_o pope_n who_o say_v he_o be_v christ_n vicar_n upon_o earth_n and_o bishop_n over_o all_o the_o bishop_n and_o

it_o be_v indeed_o more_o impossible_a for_o one_o man_n to_o be_v bishop_n and_o pastor_n over_o all_o the_o soul_n and_o bishop_n which_o be_v in_o the_o world_n than_o it_o be_v for_o one_o man_n to_o be_v bishop_n and_o pastor_n over_o all_o the_o soul_n and_o pastor_n which_o be_v in_o england_n both_o be_v alike_o simple_o impossible_a though_o the_o one_o be_v more_o impossible_a than_o
