lesser_a suitable_a to_o every_o sin_n and_o sinner_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v better_a to_o put_v the_o office_n of_o authority_n and_o jurisdiction_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o magistrate_n then_o of_o a_o bishop_n 10._o if_o a_o bishop_n exercise_n jurisdiction_n he_o will_v be_v exceed_o partial_a and_o unjust_a in_o his_o office_n punish_v one_o or_o two_o sin_n let_v all_o other_o go_v scotfree_a for_o the_o bishop_n in_o the_o consistory_n punish_v adultery_n and_o fornication_n with_o excommunication_n but_o let_v we_o go_v scotfree_a the_o thief_n murderer_n traitor_n the_o swearer_n and_o perjure_a person_n the_o drunkard_n the_o disobedient_a to_o magistrate_n master_n and_o parent_n he_o that_o wound_n strike_v or_o beat_v his_o neighbour_n defame_v he_o in_o his_o good_a name_n by_o slanderous_a word_n he_o that_o break_v his_o neighbour_n fence_n feed_v his_o grass_n and_o destroy_v his_o corn_n that_o strike_v and_o lame_v or_o kill_v his_o horse_n or_o other_o cattle_n and_o very_o many_o more_o now_o be_v not_o all_o these_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o adultery_n and_o fornication_n why_o shall_v a_o bishop_n be_v so_o partial_a and_o unrighteous_a as_o for_o to_o excommunicate_v for_o one_o or_o two_o sin_n &_o not_o to_o excommunicate_v for_o many_o other_o sin_n be_v it_o not_o better_o therefore_o that_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n put_v all_o authority_n and_o jurisdiction_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o magistrate_n who_o be_v not_o partial_a but_o do_v and_o can_v punish_v all_o sin_n then_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o partial_a bishop_n who_o do_v punish_v but_o two_o or_o three_o sin_n and_o sinner_n 11._o if_o a_o bishop_n exercise_v jurisdiction_n he_o shall_v hold_v two_o office_n magistracy_n and_o ministry_n which_o be_v inconsistent_a the_o one_o destroy_v the_o other_o for_o first_o look_v upon_o all_o minister_n in_o the_o kingdom_n who_o have_v pastoral_a charge_n and_o they_o will_v confess_v that_o they_o find_v work_n enough_o to_o study_v the_o six_o day_n against_o sunday_n and_o then_o to_o preach_v to_o administer_v the_o two_o sacrament_n to_o bury_v the_o dead_a to_o visit_v the_o sick_a and_o to_o reconcile_v his_o parishioner_n at_o variance_n the_o office_n of_o a_o ministry_n alone_o require_v the_o whole_a man._n 2._o so_o do_v the_o office_n of_o magistracy_n in_o a_o bishop_n for_o he_o be_v to_o exercise_v jurisdiction_n over_o a_o thousand_o minister_n and_o town_n and_o so_o this_o be_v more_o than_o he_o can_v do_v alone_o for_o he_o must_v have_v his_o chanceler_n and_o i_o know_v not_o how_o many_o officer_n more_o to_o assist_v he_o so_o you_o see_v the_o two_o office_n of_o magistracy_n and_o ministry_n be_v inconsistent_a because_o each_o one_o require_v the_o whole_a man_n and_o to_o jumble_v they_o together_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o one_o man_n the_o one_o destroy_v the_o other_o these_o two_o great_a ordinance_n and_o office_n of_o magistracy_n and_o ministry_n have_v ever_o be_v distinct_a the_o one_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o laiety_n the_o other_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o clergy_n save_v where_o the_o pope_n have_v put_v in_o his_o foot_n it_o be_v a_o confusion_n of_o order_n and_o office_n for_o a_o bishop_n to_o rule_n and_o preach_v both_o as_o it_o be_v for_o the_o lord-chiefe-justice_n to_o rule_v and_o preach_v also_o a_o act_n be_v make_v 1640._o in_o the_o reign_n of_o charles_n the_o first_o to_o disinable_a bishop_n for_o sit_v in_o parliament_n upon_o this_o ground_n that_o bishop_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v entangle_v with_o jurisdiction_n the_o office_n of_o the_o ministry_n be_v of_o such_o great_a importance_n that_o it_o will_v take_v up_o the_o whole_a man_n now_o be_v not_o this_o reason_n as_o

distinct_a office_n out_o of_o lucre_n and_o gain_v and_o desire_v to_o domineer_v over_o the_o laiety_n he_o hatch_v or_o nurse_v if_o up_o this_o monster_n this_o babel_n of_o confusion_n which_o as_o there_o be_v two_o sun_n in_o the_o firmament_n or_o two_o king_n in_o england_n a_o corporal_a king_n and_o spiritual_a king_n or_o one_o king_n over_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o another_o king_n over_o the_o church_n be_v it_o not_o better_o then_o to_o make_v the_o bishop_n a_o preacher_n only_o and_o the_o magistrate_n a_o ruler_n over_o all_o for_o as_o you_o have_v see_v prove_v whilst_o a_o bishop_n hold_v these_o two_o office_n of_o preach_v and_o rule_v his_o preach_v as_o a_o bishop_n be_v superfluous_a and_o his_o rule_v as_o a_o magistrate_n be_v superfluous_a also_o unjust_a and_o partial_a 12._o if_o a_o bishop_n take_v his_o commission_n to_o exercise_v jurisdiction_n from_o the_o king_n than_o his_o authority_n be_v jus_o humanum_fw-la and_o then_o the_o king_n with_o his_o parliament_n may_v order_v bishop_n at_o his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n he_o may_v make_v ten_o or_o twenty_o bishop_n in_o his_o diocese_n or_o every_o minister_n in_o his_o town_n

have_v under_o he_o many_o magistrate_n as_o high-sheriff_n major_n and_o justice_n of_o the_o peace_n who_o exercise_n jurisdiction_n free_o without_o reward_n and_o why_o shall_v a_o bishop_n require_v more_o for_o exercise_v jurisdiction_n in_o the_o church_n spiritual_a man_n shall_v be_v far_o off_o from_o desire_n of_o lucre_n and_o gain_n no_o doubt_n but_o the_o king_n may_v find_v

no_o doubt_n but_o bishop_n will_v renounce_v jus_o humanum_fw-la a_o commission_n from_o the_o king_n and_o will_v have_v their_o office_n to_o be_v jus_o divinum_fw-la from_o god_n but_o against_o this_o i_o have_v already_o say_v enough_o yet_o for_o further_a satisfaction_n i_o will_v in_o brief_a answer_n their_o text_n 1_o they_o plead_v peter_n two_o key_n the_o one_o for_o their_o

why_o bishop_n will_v cause_v the_o word_n to_o be_v translate_v angel_n rather_o than_o messenger_n for_o so_o it_o be_v translate_v luke_n 7_o 24._o and_o james_n 2_o 25._o beside_o the_o word_n shall_v be_v translate_v angel_n when_o it_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o spirit_n but_o not_o so_o when_o it_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o man_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o text_n rev._n 2_o 1_o but_o bishop_n in_o those_o day_n be_v cock_n sure_a that_o this_o honourable_a title_n of_o angel_n must_v be_v apply_v to_o they_o cause_v the_o word_n to_o be_v translate_v angel_n that_o so_o their_o excellency_n may_v be_v admire_v among_o the_o vulgar_a sort_n and_o so_o they_o be_v when_o a_o bishop_n in_o the_o cathedral_n sit_v in_o the_o chair_n of_o state_n adorn_v with_o his_o rochet_n and_o pure_a white_a surplice_n and_o lawn_n sleve_n the_o people_n do_v behold_v he_o as_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n there_o be_v a_o angel_n of_o light_n and_o angel_n of_o darkness_n but_o those_o bishop_n be_v not_o light_a for_o they_o give_v no_o light_n in_o the_o pulpit_n all_o the_o year_n long_o unless_o of_o christmas_n day_n easter_n day_n or_o whit-sunday_n in_o the_o forenoon_n 2._o the_o word_n be_v translate_v messenger_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v it_o do_v not_o employ_v any_o

supremacy_n to_o make_v his_o commission_n a_o inferior_a commission_n for_o how_o then_o can_v they_o be_v superior_a or_o next_o under_o christ_n supremacy_n doubtless_o go_v with_o the_o high_a commission_n not_o with_o the_o low_a 4_o if_o they_o hold_v from_o god_n and_o the_o king_n both_o yet_o they_o hold_v two_o office_n of_o preach_v and_o rule_v which_o be_v inconsistent_a the_o one_o destroy_v the_o other_o and_o that_o of_o rule_v be_v 1_o superfluous_a 2_o unjust_a 3_o exceed_o partial_a 4_o the_o bishop_n must_v lay_v aside_o his_o office_n of_o preach_v all_o which_o shall_v be_v prove_v by_o and_o by_o 5_o if_o a_o bishop_n take_v a_o commission_n from_o the_o king_n to_o exercise_v jurisdiction_n though_o he_o be_v ordain_v a_o minister_n to_o preach_v yet_o he_o must_v lay_v aside_o and_o renounce_v his_o ordination_n and_o office_n of_o preach_v that_o he_o may_v so_o attend_v to_o his_o office_n of_o rule_v for_o queen_n elizabeth_n say_v that_o when_o she_o go_v about_o to_o make_v a_o bishop_n she_o be_v go_v to_o stop_v a_o preacher_n mouth_n and_o our_o experience_n for_o fifty_o or_o sixty_o year_n confirm_v it_o for_o they_o preach_v not_o above_o one_o two_o or_o three_o sermon_n in_o a_o year_n and_o sometime_o not_o once_o in_o a_o year_n and_o indeed_o these_o two_o office_n to_o preach_v and_o to_o rule_n be_v inconsistent_a and_o can_v be_v well_o manage_v by_o any_o one_o man_n as_o shall_v appear_v by_o and_o by_o 6_o yea_o the_o bishop_n must_v not_o only_o lay_v aside_o his_o office_n of_o preach_v but_o i_o say_v further_o that_o his_o office_n of_o preach_v be_v mere_o superfluous_a to_o preach_v as_o a_o bishop_n of_o a_o diocese_n if_o he_o will_v be_v a_o preacher_n to_o a_o particular_a congregation_n there_o may_v be_v good_a use_n of_o he_o but_o none_o as_o a_o bishop_n for_o 1_o he_o have_v no_o particular_a flock_n to_o feed_v or_o congregation_n to_o preach_v unto_o for_o every_o congregation_n have_v a_o minister_n of_o their_o own_o to_o preach_v unto_o they_o nor_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o he_o to_o preach_v to_o every_o parish_n in_o his_o diocese_n 2_o if_o he_o will_v make_v his_o cathedral_n church_n to_o be_v his_o particular_a flock_n yet_o there_o his_o preach_n be_v also_o superfluous_a for_o first_o cathedral_n church_n be_v in_o city_n now_o in_o city_n there_o be_v many_o parish_n and_o minister_n and_o if_o people_n repair_v every_o one_o to_o his_o own_o minister_n what_o need_n be_v there_o but_o of_o one_o sermon_n in_o a_o day_n at_o the_o cathedral_n 2_o the_o cathedral_n be_v supply_v for_o a_o single_a sermon_n once_o in_o the_o sunday_n morning_n not_o by_o the_o bishop_n but_o by_o a_o combination_n of_o minister_n choose_v out_o of_o the_o diocese_n and_o so_o it_o may_v be_v still_o continue_v if_o there_o be_v necessity_n for_o a_o sermon_n in_o the_o cathedral_n and_o then_o the_o bishop_n sermon_n will_v be_v superfluous_a though_o he_o will_v preach_v every_o sunday_n once_o now_o let_v it_o be_v take_v into_o consideration_n if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o lavish_a and_o superfluous_a reward_n to_o allow_v a_o bishop_n two_o or_o three_o thousand_o a_o year_n for_o his_o preach_n when_o as_o it_o be_v superfluous_a or_o if_o he_o shall_v preach_v fifty_o sermon_n in_o a_o year_n be_v not_o two_o thousand_o a_o lavish_a reward_n for_o he_o have_v a_o thousand_o pound_n for_o a_o sermon_n if_o he_o preach_v but_o twice_o or_o thrice_o in_o a_o year_n or_o about_o fifty_o pound_n if_o the_o preach_v fifty_o sermon_n in_o a_o year_n but_o it_o will_v be_v say_v he_o rule_v also_o answer_n but_z 1_o he_o rule_v partial_o 2_o he_o hole_v two_o office_n inconsistent_a 3_o he_o usurp_v 4_o christ_n forbid_v it_o and_o so_o he_o deserve_v no_o reward_n for_o rule_v 7._o yet_o further_o 1_o we_o ought_v by_o god_n word_n to_o have_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v in_o my_o book_n of_o this_o title_n 2._o the_o king_n out_o of_o his_o gracious_a compassion_n to_o tender_a conscience_n have_v proffer_v it_o in_o his_o declaration_n more_o than_o once_o now_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o office_n of_o jurisdiction_n in_o a_o bishop_n be_v needless_a and_o useless_a for_o first_o bishop_n be_v wont_a to_o persecute_v and_o punish_v conscientious_a man_n for_o refuse_v the_o cross_n and_o surplice_n and_o for_o work_v on_o the_o popish_a holiday_n etc._n etc._n but_o if_o we_o have_v liberty_n of_o conscience_n the_o learned_a bish_n must_v spare_v his_o wicked_a persecution_n there_o will_v be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o bishop_n jurisdiction_n 2._o there_o be_v many_o controversall_a point_n about_o religion_n in_o our_o church_n which_o be_v point_n disputable_a ought_v not_o to_o be_v punish_v by_o the_o bishop_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v in_o my_o book_n of_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o bishop_n jurisdiction_n 3._o for_o matter_n of_o heresy_n be_v it_o be_v only_o in_o fundamental_o &_o every_o thing_n about_o a_o fundamental_a be_v not_o fundamental_a but_o something_o may_v be_v disputable_a such_o point_n shall_v not_o be_v punish_v by_o the_o bishop_n because_o they_o be_v disputable_a and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o bishop_n jurisdiction_n 4._o i_o hold_v no_o point_n for_o fundamental_a but_o such_o as_o be_v clear_o lay_v down_o in_o scripture_n now_o where_o will_v you_o find_v a_o christian_n to_o deny_v such_o a_o point_n and_o therefore_o no_o need_n of_o a_o bishop_n jurisdiction_n to_o punish_v it_o but_o suppose_v there_o be_v find_v one_o or_o two_o such_o heretic_n in_o our_o whole_a kingdom_n what_o necessity_n be_v there_o for_o every_o bishop_n in_o the_o kingdom_n to_o have_v two_o or_o three_o thousand_o a_o year_n to_o punish_v that_o one_o heretic_n who_o live_v but_o in_o the_o diocese_n of_o one_o bishop_n may_v not_o ten_o or_o twelve_o minister_n be_v appoint_v for_o this_o end_n in_o every_o diocese_n and_o so_o save_v that_o money_n so_o you_o still_o see_v it_o be_v needless_a to_o have_v a_o bishop_n use_v jurisdiction_n 8._o yet_o again_o be_v the_o magistrate_n punish_v all_o matter_n of_o fact_n as_o adultery_n murder_n robbery_n drunkenness_n and_o many_o other_o there_o be_v no_o need_n at_o all_o for_o a_o bishop_n jurisdiction_n to_o punish_v adultery_n with_o excommunication_n shall_v adultery_n be_v twice_o punish_v once_o by_o the_o magistrate_n and_o then_o again_o by_o the_o bishop_n this_o be_v double_a punishment_n for_o a_o single_a sin_n which_o be_v injustice_n wherefore_o a_o bishop_n jurisdiction_n be_v superfluous_a but_o it_o will_v be_v say_v that_o heresy_n be_v no_o matter_n of_o fact_n but_o of_o opinion_n and_o therefore_o the_o bishop_n must_v punish_v it_o i_o answer_v the_o magistrate_n must_v punish_v it_o not_o the_o bishop_n for_o the_o bishop_n deliver_v the_o heretic_n over_o to_o the_o secular_a power_n for_o punishment_n wherefore_o jurisdiction_n be_v superfluous_a in_o a_o bishop_n and_o further_o be_v the_o magistrate_n punish_v all_o manner_n of_o sin_n with_o a_o full_a and_o sufficient_a punishment_n suitable_a to_o the_o demerit_n of_o the_o sin_n it_o must_v be_v a_o act_n of_o injustice_n in_o a_o bishop_n to_o punish_v any_o with_o excommunication_n afterward_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o justice_n in_o a_o magistrate_n to_o punish_v sin_n but_o it_o be_v a_o act_n of_o injustice_n and_o a_o sinful_a act_n in_o a_o bishop_n to_o punish_v any_o and_o therefore_o a_o bishop_n jurisdiction_n be_v needless_a 9_o a_o bishop_n will_v be_v a_o magistrate_n in_o the_o church_n to_o punish_v scandalous_a sin_n and_o yet_o have_v but_o

punishment_n of_o excommunication_n for_o all_o manner_n of_o sin_n for_o the_o least_o and_o for_o the_o great_a adultery_n and_o fornication_n the_o one_o of_o these_o great_a the_o other_o lesser_a and_o the_o bishop_n punish_v both_o alike_o with_o excommunication_n for_o a_o man_n to_o commit_v adultery_n and_o for_o a_o minister_n to_o refuse_v the_o cross_n and_o surplice_n or_o for_o people_n to_o work_v or_o to_o open_v a_o shop_n on_o a_o popish_a holiday_n though_o these_o latter_a be_v no_o sin_n yet_o the_o bishop_n punish_v all_o these_o alike_o with_o excommunication_n what_o abominable_a injustice_n be_v this_o yet_o further_o be_v excommunication_n a_o punishment_n great_a enough_o for_o the_o most_o horrid_a blasphemy_n against_o god_n 1._o for_o a_o son_n to_o kill_v his_o father_n or_o a_o subject_a to_o murder_v his_o king_n the_o magistrate_n have_v variety_n of_o punishment_n some_o great_a some_o
