A61544	A discourse concerning the illegality of the late ecclesiastical commission in answer to the vindication and defence of it : wherein the true notion of the legal supremacy is cleared, and an account is given of the nature, original, and mischief of the dispensing power.	Stillingfleet, Edward, 1635-1699.	1689 (1689)	Wing S5581; ESTC R24628	67,006	76

and_o govern_v this_o church_n and_o kingdom_n by_o our_o own_o law_n which_o be_v well_o express_v in_o the_o preamble_n to_o the_o act_n against_o appeal_n viz._n that_o this_o realm_n of_o

make_v this_o clear_a we_o must_v consider_v the_o word_n of_o this_o act_n and_o compare_v they_o with_o 1_o eliz._n 1._o the_o 17_o car._n 1._o 12._o and_o the_o present_a commission_n the_o word_n 26_o h._n 8._o 1._o be_v the_o same_o in_o effect_n with_o those_o 1_o eliz._n 1._o but_o with_o this_o observable_a difference_n that_o whereas_o the_o statute_n of_o h._n 8._o give_v the_o king_n his_o heir_n and_o successor_n full_a power_n and_o authority_n from_o time_n to_o time_n to_o visit_v etc._n etc._n that_o of_o 1_o eliz._n 1._o unite_v the_o jurisdiction_n to_o the_o imperial_a

limit_v to_o such_o who_o be_v nominate_v and_o appoint_v by_o the_o letter_n patent_n the_o fountain_n of_o all_o jurisdiction_n be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v in_o the_o imperial_a crown_n of_o this_o

of_o supremacy_n be_v require_v by_o this_o act_n to_o be_v take_v by_o every_o archbishop_n bishop_n and_o all_o ecclesiastical_a person_n and_o officer_n but_o beside_o this_o it_o be_v then_o think_v fit_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o extraordinary_a administration_n of_o it_o which_o be_v limit_v by_o this_o act_n to_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v nominate_v and_o appoint_v in_o letter_n patent_n etc._n etc._n and_o no_o other_o reason_n can_v be_v give_v of_o the_o change_n from_o what_o it_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o henry_n the_o eight_o for_o it_o be_v not_o now_o place_v absolute_o as_o then_o in_o the_o queen_n her_o heir_n and_o successor_n but_o the_o jurisdiction_n be_v annex_v to_o the_o crown_n and_o the_o extraordinary_a administration_n to_o be_v by_o commission_n under_o the_o broad_a seal_n now_o since_o this_o power_n of_o nominate_a commissioner_n for_o extraordinary_a jurisdiction_n be_v take_v away_o by_o act_n of_o parliament_n the_o only_a question_n be_v whether_o notwithstanding_o the_o right_n of_o jurisdiction_n be_v still_o in_o the_o crown_n a_o new_a commission_n may_v not_o be_v grant_v for_o extraordinary_a jurisdiction_n there_o have_v be_v no_o question_n in_o this_o case_n if_o the_o administration_n of_o extraordinary_a jurisdiction_n have_v not_o be_v settle_v 1_o eliz._n 1._o to_o be_v by_o commission_n and_o that_o very_a power_n of_o grant_v such_o a_o commission_n have_v not_o be_v take_v away_o by_o act_n of_o parliament_n but_o as_o the_o matter_n now_o stand_v the_o only_a pretence_n leave_v for_o it_o be_v that_o the_o same_o act_n which_o confirm_v the_o repeal_n have_v a_o salvo_n for_o the_o king_n supremay_n in_o these_o word_n provide_v always_o that_o this_o act_n shall_v not_o extend_v or_o be_v construe_v to_o extend_v to_o abridge_v or_o diminish_v the_o king_n supremacy_n in_o ecclesiastical_a matter_n or_o affair_n if_o these_o word_n be_v take_v strict_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o same_o matter_n they_o make_v the_o act_n inconsistent_a with_o itself_o for_o then_o the_o meaning_n will_v be_v the_o king_n supremacy_n shall_v not_o extend_v to_o the_o set_n up_o such_o a_o court_n always_o provide_v that_o his_o supremacy_n notwithstanding_o this_o act_n may_v extend_v to_o the_o set_n up_o such_o another_o court._n be_v it_o consistent_a with_o the_o wisdom_n of_o a_o parliament_n to_o make_v such_o delusory_a act_n therefore_o we_o must_v understand_v the_o king_n supremacy_n in_o other_o matter_n and_o there_o be_v this_o reason_n for_o it_o all_z the_o act_n of_o parliament_n touch_v the_o supremacy_n in_o henry_n the_o eighth_n time_n be_v repeal_v by_o queen_n mary_n and_o the_o restore_a the_o supremacy_n to_o the_o crown_n be_v by_o the_o same_o act_n which_o set_v up_o the_o high_a commission_n and_o therefore_o when_o part_n of_o that_o act_n be_v repeal_v and_o that_o repeal_v confirm_v it_o be_v fit_v to_o add_v a_o clause_n that_o there_o be_v no_o intention_n to_o abridge_v or_o diminish_v the_o supremacy_n settle_v by_o law_n especial_o since_o by_o that_o act_n the_o ordinary_a jurisdiction_n of_o the_o bishop_n in_o their_o court_n be_v revive_v and_o it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v what_o clamour_n have_v be_v make_v as_o though_o the_o bishop_n court_n be_v hold_v in_o their_o own_o name_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o king_n supremacy_n and_o although_o the_o judge_n have_v declare_v july_n the_o first_o 1637._o that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n that_o process_n ecclesiastical_a shall_v be_v in_o the_o king_n name_n and_o the_o king_n august_n the_o eighteen_o in_o 13_o car._n 1._o publish_v a_o proclamation_n to_o that_o purpose_n yet_o all_o this_o do_v not_o satisfy_v some_o but_o the_o bishop_n be_v still_o think_v by_o they_o in_o their_o ordinary_a jurisdiction_n to_o usurp_v upon_o the_o king_n supremacy_n and_o to_o abridge_v and_o diminish_v it_o therefore_o when_o this_o act_n pass_v to_o revive_v their_o jurisdiction_n it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o reasonable_a to_o add_v such_o a_o clause_n to_o prevent_v misconstruction_n viz._n that_o this_o act_n nor_o any_o thing_n in_o it_o be_v construe_v to_o extend_v to_o abridge_v or_o diminish_v the_o king_n supremacy_n in_o ecclesiastical_a matter_n as_o the_o ordinary_a jurisdiction_n of_o the_o bishop_n have_v be_v think_v to_o do_v and_o the_o vindicator_n of_o the_o ecclesiastical_a commission_n can_v 19_o not_o forbear_v a_o marginal_a note_n to_o that_o purpose_n the_o court_n hold_v by_o his_o majesty_n ecclesiastical_a commissioner_n be_v more_o legal_a than_o the_o bishop_n court_n this_o be_v in_o the_o king_n name_n they_o in_o their_o own_o name_n only_o as_o though_o the_o new_a set_v up_o a_o court_n forbid_v by_o law_n do_v not_o make_v it_o illegal_a in_o who_o name_n soever_o it_o be_v and_o as_o though_o court_v express_o own_v and_o allow_v by_o law_n be_v illegal_a mere_o because_o the_o form_n of_o
