to_o judge_v these_o to_o be_v heinous_a abuse_n which_o do_v much_o endanger_v the_o salvation_n of_o soul_n therefore_o be_v the_o pastor_n of_o the_o church_n and_o be_v assist_v in_o it_o by_o the_o civil_a power_n they_o have_v both_o good_a reason_n and_o sufficient_a authority_n to_o reform_v the_o church_n from_o these_o abuse_n and_o he_o leave_v it_o to_o m._n c._n to_o choose_v on_o

and_o reform_v the_o church_n and_o this_o the_o rather_o that_o the_o first_o question_n propose_v in_o the_o consecration_n of_o a_o bishop_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o pontifical_a be_v will_v thou_o teach_v these_o thing_n which_o thou_o understand_v to_o be_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o the_o people_n commit_v to_o thou_o both_o by_o thy_o doctrine_n and_o example_n to_o which_o he_o

therefore_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v inform_v what_o authority_n those_o bishop_n have_v to_o judge_v in_o matter_n which_o they_o find_v not_o only_o in_o this_o church_n but_o in_o all_o church_n round_o about_o they_o shall_v they_o have_v presume_v to_o judge_v in_o these_o matter_n d._n s._n say_v it_o have_v be_v frequent_o the_o practice_n of_o many_o nation_n and_o province_n to_o meet_v

to_o show_v of_o particular_n that_o have_v be_v define_v by_o general_a council_n which_o they_o only_o apply_v to_o their_o circumstance_n and_o this_o be_v never_o question_v but_o provincial_a

have_v once_o distinct_a prince_n and_o say_v we_o acknowledge_v no_o right_a william_n the_o conqueror_n have_v so_o that_o we_o reject_v the_o authority_n of_o those_o descend_v from_o he_o they_o may_v have_v the_o same_o plea_n which_o this_o our_o church_n have_v for_o the_o day_n before_o that_o act_n of_o parliament_n do_v pass_v after_o the_o 20._o of_o henry_n the_o viii_o the_o pope_n have_v the_o authority_n in_o spiritual_n and_o they_o be_v his_o subject_n in_o spiritual_n therefore_o their_o declare_v he_o have_v none_o can_v not_o take_v his_o authority_n from_o he_o no_o more_o than_o the_o long_a parliament_n have_v right_a to_o declare_v by_o any_o act_n that_o the_o sovereign_a power_n be_v in_o the_o people_n hand_n in_o pursuance_n of_o which_o they_o cut_v off_o the_o king_n head_n d._n s._n say_v the_o first_o general_n council_n as_o they_o establish_v the_o patriarchal_a power_n so_o the_o privilege_n of_o several_a church_n be_v preserve_v entire_a to_o they_o as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o cyprus_n that_o the_o british_a church_n be_v not_o within_o the_o patriarchal_a jurisdiction_n of_o rome_n that_o afterward_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n strike_v

which_o they_o manage_v as_o ill_o as_o they_o unjust_o acquire_v it_o and_o particular_o in_o england_n where_o from_o king_n william_n the_o conqueror_n day_n as_o their_o illegal_a and_o oppressive_a imposition_n be_v a_o constant_a grievance_n to_o the_o people_n so_o our_o prince_n and_o parliament_n be_v ever_o put_v to_o struggle_v with_o they_o but_o to_o affront_v their_o authority_n thomas_n becket_n who_o be_v a_o traitor_n to_o the_o law_n must_v be_v make_v a_o saint_n and_o a_o day_n keep_v for_o he_o in_o which_o they_o be_v to_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o mercy_n through_o his_o merit_n it_o continue_v thus_o for_o several_a age_n in_o the_o end_n a_o vigorous_a prince_n arise_v who_o be_v resolve_v to_o assert_v his_o own_o authority_n and_o he_o look_v into_o the_o oath_n the_o bishop_n swear_v to_o the_o pope_n they_o be_v all_o find_v in_o a_o praemunire_n by_o they_o then_o do_v the_o whole_a nation_n agree_v to_o assert_v their_o own_o freedom_n and_o their_o king_n authority_n and_o it_o be_v considerable_a that_o those_o very_a bishop_n that_o in_o queen_n mary_n day_n do_v most_o cruel_o persecute_v those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o advance_v the_o interest_n of_o rome_n be_v the_o most_o zealous_a assertor_n and_o defender_n of_o what_o be_v do_v by_o king_n henry_n the_o viii_o therefore_o the_o pope_n power_n in_o england_n be_v found_v on_o no_o just_a title_n and_o be_v manage_v with_o so_o much_o oppression_n there_o be_v both_o a_o full_a authority_n and_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n for_o reject_v it_o and_o if_o the_o mayor_n general_n who_o have_v their_o authority_n from_o cromwell_n may_v yet_o have_v declare_v for_o the_o king_n who_o have_v the_o true_a title_n and_o against_o the_o usurper_n so_o the_o bishop_n though_o they_o have_v swear_v to_o the_o pope_n yet_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o allegiance_n they_o owe_v the_o king_n aught_o to_o have_v assert_v the_o king_n authority_n and_o reject_v the_o pope_n m._n b._n say_v it_o seem_v m._n c._n found_v the_o pope_n right_a to_o the_o authority_n he_o have_v in_o england_n chief_o upon_o prescription_n but_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v say_v to_o that_o first_o that_o no_o prescription_n run_v against_o a_o divine_a right_n in_o the_o clear_n of_o title_n among_o man_n prescription_n be_v in_o some_o case_n a_o good_a title_n but_o if_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o civil_a power_n have_v a_o supreme_a authority_n over_o their_o subject_n than_o no_o prescription_n whatsoever_o can_v void_a this_o beside_o the_o bishop_n have_v full_a authority_n and_o jurisdiction_n this_o can_v not_o be_v bound_v or_o limit_v by_o any_o obedience_n the_o pope_n claim_v from_o they_o further_o there_o can_v be_v no_o prescription_n in_o this_o case_n where_o the_o usurpation_n have_v be_v all_o along_o contest_v and_o oppose_v we_o be_v ready_a to_o prove_v that_o in_o the_o first_o age_n all_o bishop_n be_v account_v brethren_n colleague_n and_o fellow-bishop_n with_o the_o bishop_n of_o rome_n that_o afterward_o as_o he_o be_v declare_v patriarch_n of_o the_o west_n so_o the_o other_o patriarch_n be_v equal_a in_o authority_n to_o he_o in_o their_o several_a patriarchates_n that_o britain_n be_v no_o part_n of_o his_o patriarchate_n but_o a_o exempt_a as_o cyprus_n be_v that_o his_o power_n as_o patriarch_n be_v only_o for_o receive_v appeal_n or_o call_v synod_n and_o do_v not_o at_o all_o encroach_v on_o the_o jurisdiction_n of_o other_o bishop_n in_o their_o see_z and_o that_o the_o bishop_n in_o his_o patriarchate_n do_v think_v they_o may_v separate_v from_o he_o a_o famous_a instance_n of_o this_o be_v in_o the_o six_o century_n when_o the_o question_n be_v about_o the_o tria_fw-la capitula_fw-la for_o which_o the_o western_a bishop_n do_v general_o stand_v and_o pope_n vigilius_n write_v in_o defence_n of_o

merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o that_o several_a thing_n may_v concur_v in_o several_a order_n or_o way_n to_o produce_v the_o same_o effect_n so_o although_o we_o be_v pardon_v and_o save_v only_o through_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o without_o holiness_n we_o shall_v never_o see_v god_n we_o must_v also_o suffer_v whatever_o cross_n he_o try_v we_o with_o so_o that_o these_o in_o another_o sense_n procure_v the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o eternal_a salvation_n thus_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o prayer_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n and_o the_o saint_n be_v great_a help_n to_o our_o obtain_v these_o therefore_o though_o these_o be_v all_o join_v together_o in_o the_o same_o prayer_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o unjust_a charge_n on_o their_o church_n to_o say_v they_o make_v they_o equal_a in_o their_o value_n or_o efficiency_n m._n b._n say_v the_o thing_n he_o have_v chief_o except_v against_o in_o that_o prayer_n be_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n and_o the_o saint_n now_o he_o have_v only_o speak_v of_o their_o prayer_n and_o he_o appeal_v to_o all_o if_o the_o natural_a meaning_n of_o these_o word_n be_v not_o that_o he_o charge_v on_o they_o and_o the_o sense_n the_o other_o have_v offer_v be_v not_o force_v m._n c._n say_v by_o merit_n be_v understand_v prayer_n which_o have_v force_n and_o merit_n with_o god_n m._n b._n say_v that_o can_v not_o be_v for_o in_o another_o absolution_n in_o the_o office_n of_o our_o lady_n they_o pray_v for_o remission_n of_o sin_n through_o the_o merit_n and_o prayer_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n so_o that_o by_o merit_n must_v be_v mean_v somewhat_o else_o than_o their_o prayer_n m._n c._n say_v that_o as_o by_o our_o prayer_n on_o earth_n we_o help_v one_o another_o soul_n so_o by_o our_o give_a alm_n for_o one_o another_o we_o may_v do_v the_o same_o so_o also_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n may_v be_v helpful_a to_o we_o by_o their_o prayer_n and_o merit_n and_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o have_v speak_v this_o he_o get_v to_o his_o foot_n and_o say_v he_o be_v in_o great_a haste_n and_o much_o business_n lie_v on_o he_o that_o day_n but_o say_v to_o
